Interstate Brick is pleased to announce its latest AIA accredited seminar that promises to not only educate, but entertain as well.  In an interactive session participants will learn the concept of Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) and its role in the design of building envelopes.  We invite you to learn the importance of non-monetary criteria such as aesthetics, durability, and sustainability in determining the life cycle cost of buildings and a method to incorporate such criteria in LCCA.  For more information on seminars in your area please call (801) 280-5200 or click here.
