RMD24 | Debunking the non-endemic revenue myth Marvin Vacquier Droop | First ...BBPMedia1
Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.
1. Air Barrier Paper The air barrier paper is a backup protection put over the sheathing. It allows water vapor to escape while keeping water out of the home.
14. Brick Sizes Brick Size #2 Modular brick 3 ½” x 2 ¼” x 7 ½” Brick Size #1 Utility brick 3 ½” x 3 ½” x 11 ½”
15. Bulldozer A bulldozer is a piece of machinery used to push large objects that is equipped with a large metal plate. This usually includes soil, sand, or rubble
17. Cladding (cont) Wood shingle definition- shingles that are sawn and used as siding; can be individual shingles or panels Wood shake definition- shingles that are split and used as siding Wood shingle structure Wood Board Clad Structure
18. Code Requirements-Egress Window Measurements Width= 40” Height=27” Area= 7.5 sq. ft Sill height AFF= 25” IBC code requirements 20” minimum width 24” minimum height 5.7 sq ft. minimum area Sill height must be less than or equal to 44” AFF The egress meets IBC code requirements because it’s width and height are more than the minimum. Also, the area is bigger and the sill height is less than code.
19. Code Requirements-Stairs Stair measurements Tread= 10” Riser= 7 ½” IBC code requirements 10” minimum Tread 7 ¾” max riser These stairs barely meet code requirements but the tread meets the minimum and the riser has smaller dimensions than required
20. Concrete Joints A control joint is used to prevent cracking in a slab of concrete Crack near a control joint
21. Concrete Joints (cont) An isolation joint is used to isolate two different concrete structures. They reduce the stress caused by the movement of concrete. Isolation joint that is isolating a column and a slab
22. Concrete Masonry Unit A CMU is a block of hardened concrete that is mainly used to build foundations and sometimes walls. The nominal dimensions of a CMU are 8” x 8” x 16”. The actual size of the blocks are 7 5/8” x 7 5/8” x 15 5/8” to allow for the mortar joints. 3 brick courses= 1 CMU 2 different sized CMU

25. Doors (cont) Transom- a small window above a door; usually a fixed window Sidelight-a tall, narrow window along side a door
26. Electrical Components Transformer on a power pole- electricity from a power plant comes through the transformer and the voltage is stepped down here Service head- once the voltage is stepped down, it is sent to the service head, where the electricity can enter the house
27. Electrical Components (cont) Service Panel- the main distribution center of a home’s electricity. This is where the local utility lines hook up with the circuits in the house.

33. Gypsum Board Gypsum board is an interior facing panel sandwiched between paper faces that is put over studs to be used as walls. It is often called drywall or plasterboard.
34. Heat Pump An advantage of heat pumps is that they can rapidly heat and cool a house. A disadvantage of heat pumps is that they are noisy, especially the compressor unit. The air handling unit takes the air from the compressor and sends it all throughout the house using the air ducts. The compressor is taking air from outside and transferring it into the home. The air moves across coils that either heat it or cool it.
35. Insulation Insulation is used to slow the exchange of heat in your home. Insulation forms a container around the home to create a thermal envelope. Batt/blanket insulation Loose fill insulation
37. Lintel A lintel is a beam used to carry the load of a wall across a window or door opening Concrete Lintel
