ATAS Hosts Society Of American Registered Architects Conference Attendees In Mesa, AZ
Mesa, AZ - ATAS International hosted members of the Society of American Registered Architects on October 7, during the group's 60th anniversary conference in Arizona. Over 35 SARA members attended an educational presentation and toured ATAS’ manufacturing facility in Mesa, earning learning units for both activities. David Srokose, Architectural Business Development Manager at ATAS, presented on “Sustainable Building Envelopes”, and Dick Bus, President of ATAS, led the plant tour, which was followed by lunch for the guests.
During the educational presentation, attendees learned how metal cladding on roofs and walls can contribute to green building objectives, and how metal walls can use sunlight to provide a building with solar air heating. Cutting edge cool roof technologies, including UV reflective pigments and above sheathing ventilation, were discussed, as well as how metal roofing can provide a solar ready platform for photovoltaic systems.
Bus stated, “We were pleased to welcome the SARA members to our Mesa, Arizona facility, while they were in the area for their annual conference. The plant tour allowed our guests to view the equipment and processes used to fabricate metal components for the building envelope. All attendees were invited to visit our Allentown, Pennsylvania headquarters, if they are ever in the area.”
