Lunch & Learn: Built to last a lifetime, Permalock Aluminum Shingles
About
Join AIA Santa Barbara for an upcoming Lunch and Learn introducing Permalock Aluminum Shingles — an innovative roofing solution that combines the classic aesthetic of slate and wood shingles with the exceptional durability of aluminum. Ideal for coastal environments and projects where standing seam roofs are restricted, Permalock offers a compelling case for rethinking what a metal roof can look like.
Learning Objectives

Evaluate the fire-resistance properties of non-combustible aluminum roofing systems and their role in reducing risk in wildfire-prone and coastal environments, in support of occupant safety and community resilience.
Identify the structural safety implications of roofing material weight, and explain how lightweight aluminum shingle systems — at 40 lbs per 100 sq ft compared to 250 lbs for conventional shingles — reduce dead load and associated risk in building design.
Describe the health and environmental benefits of specifying fully recyclable, non-toxic roofing materials over petroleum-based products, including the long-term impact on material waste, air quality, and occupant well-being.
Apply knowledge of roofing material longevity and thermal performance to make informed specification decisions that support energy efficiency, reduce urban heat island effects, and contribute to the long-term safety and habitability of the built environment.

About CAP Metal Build
“Our company was founded on a simple conviction: most roofing systems are designed around replacement cycles, while metal roofing is designed around longevity. In an industry filled with shortcuts, misleading warranties, and temporary solutions, we have chosen a different path. The world of roofing is crowded with bad actors, and many homeowners have been conditioned to accept products marketed as “lifetime” systems that often fail long before a true lifetime ever arrives. Even many asphalt shingle manufacturers participate in this culture of misleading expectations. We refuse to. That is why we specialize in true lifetime metal roofing systems — roofs built to protect your home for decades, and in many cases, for the rest of your life. At CAP Metal Build, we do not believe in selling temporary roofing solutions unless there is absolutely no other option. We believe homeowners deserve honesty, transparency, and guidance that prioritizes long-term value over short-term convenience. We are roofers first, not sheet metal workers trying to become roofers. Our team understands roofing systems from the deck up: ventilation, waterproofing, flashing, structural integration, and the details that determine whether a roof performs beautifully for generations or slowly fails over time. That roofing-first philosophy allows us to install multiple types of metal roofing systems with precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.” – CAP Metal Build

Lunch & Learn: Designed to Disappear
About
This course will introduce the builder, designer, or architect to the design and wellness benefits of integrating technology into the design and architecture of a project. The course will begin by defining the luxury experience in residential design. It will then dive deeper into audio and lighting as elements that influence the luxury experience. Finally, the course will present solutions for hiding these and other technologies in design and architecture.

Speaker:
Mike Cleary
Senior Director of Strategic Accounts
“Mike Cleary is a respected industry expert known for bringing high energy, genuine enthusiasm, and a warm, personal approach to educating architects and trade professionals. As Senior Director of Strategic Accounts at Sonance, Mike has built a reputation for making complex technology concepts accessible and engaging, bridging the gap between design intent and technical execution with a conversational style that resonates across every audience.”

Learning Objectives

To define the luxury experience in the residential space.
To draw parallels between lighting and audio design.
To establish audio as a benefit to the way people experience their homes.
To explore solutions and ways to hide technology into architecture and interior design.

About Sonance
“Sonance is based firmly in the belief that technology should be designed to disappear. It began in 1983 when founders Scott Struthers and Geoff Spencer introduced the world’s first in-wall loudspeaker. This approach of leading with design led to many more “firsts” and a proud heritage of innovation, continually Reimagining Sound. These are the things that have inspired a philosophy that continues to drive the company’s brands today: that technology can, and should, blend in with the architecture and interior design of any space.” – Sonance
