Fundamentals of Polycarbonate Building Materials and Compliance Issues
Polycarbonate is a high-performance building material, but its successful application depends on a clear understanding of its properties, system performance, and regulatory requirements.
This course provides architects and building professionals with an introduction to polycarbonate as a building material, including product types, material behaviour, and key performance characteristics.
It also outlines relevant National Construction Code compliance pathways, alongside sustainability and lifecycle considerations, equipping participants to confidently specify and apply polycarbonate systems for compliant, durable, and high-performing architectural outcomes.
