At the 2011 International Builders' Show in Orlando, Fla., CertainTeed Corporation (Booth W1171) will energize the building industry with innovative, sustainable products and an industry-first mobile app.
The company's world-class building science team will also help tackle several key building industry issues through onsite educational sessions.
Throughout the show, CertainTeed's building science team is leading 30-minute educational sessions, which include: Moisture and Mold Prevention in Wall Assemblies; Sustainability and the National Green Building Standard; and, Selling Energy Efficiency. Each session includes dedicated time for questions from attendees and aligns with the company's newly created building science portal.
Visitors to the booth can also use the CertainTeed-branded Quick Response (QR) code mobile smartphone app to access product information and enter a drawing to win an iPad. A building industry first, the app instantly scans and reads a barcode, specifically a 2D QR code, quickly connecting the user to customized content.
