SUMMARY:Building Envelope Commissioning
DESCRIPTION:Presented by AIA Northern Virginia in partnership with ECS Mid-Atlantic \nWhile commissioning of many building systems has been around for many years\, Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) is relatively newer to the design and construction industries. This presentation will provide a primer on the practice of BECx and its benefits with real world case studies and then dive further into the various approaches as defined by industry standards and code. \nPresented by Keith P. Nelson\, AIA\, NCARB\, CDT\, BCXP\nECS Mid-Atlantic. \nEarn 1 AIA LU|HSW \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Designing for Fire Safety: Complying with NFPA 285 Test Standard for Exterior Walls
DESCRIPTION:When considering the building enclosure\, fire safety is an important design factor and needs to be considered hand-in-hand with energy code requirements. The NFPA 285 Standard Fire Test Method for Evaluation of Fire Propagation Characteristics of Exterior Wall Assemblies Containing Combustible Components is a common consideration with modern building assemblies that use combustible materials. This presentation will review common fire standards including NFPA 285 test standard. It will outline the criteria for compliance\, as well as identify triggers and contributors under the standard. The presentation will review how the selection of building components such as insulation\, air/water resistive barriers and claddings\, can affect the fire performance of an assembly\, and identify solutions and common paths for compliance. \nLearning objectives: \n\nDiscuss the history\, scope and testing procedure outlined in the NFPA 285 test standard\nIdentify passive design solutions to achieve compliance and resources available with compliant designs\nDiscuss the importance of fire and safety design considerations as it relates to the building enclosure\nUnderstand the requirements of NFPA 285 compliant assemblies and the implications of building materials selection.\n\nEarn 1.0 AIA LU | HSW \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Garden Club of Virginia annual Conservation Forum
DESCRIPTION:Learn all about birds – from their key role in the ecosystem to their unique and lesser-known skills–from experts at the Garden Club of Virginia annual Conservation Forum to be held online on Oct. 25\, 2021. \nBird populations worldwide are plummeting at alarming rates. In the past 30 years\, the bird population in North America has declined by three billion\, or one in four birds. \n“This forum will deepen our understanding of birds and their habitats and help people of all ages learn ways to protect birds in their own backyards and throughout Virginia\,” said Missy Buckingham\, president of the Garden Club of Virginia. \nJennifer Ackerman\, New York Times best-selling author of The Genius of Birds\, will be the keynote speaker. Ackerman will lead attendees on an armchair journey to show how birds make and use tools\, count\, navigate\, memorize\, communicate and create works of art. \nPanelists include: \n\nAmy Johnson\, Program Director\, Virginia Working Landscapes\, Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute\nChristine Sheppard\, Director\, Glass Collisions Program\, American Bird Conservancy\nMr. Stephen Living\, Habitat Education Coordinator\, Virginia Dept. of Wildlife Resources\n\nTickets are $15; students are free. \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Hard Hat Tour: Virginia Beach Municipal Center Building #2
DESCRIPTION:The renovations to Building 2 are a part of the reprogramming of several buildings in the Virginia Beach municipal center to coordinate with the addition of the new City Hall building. Building 2 will now be the home of the VB Police and the City’s new\, state-of-the-art data canter. The renovation includes a complete gutting of the building\, new windows\, and new MEP systems. The data center will be moved from its current location on the basement floor to a more resilient location on the 3rd floor. \nBuilding features include new high performance windows\, restoring the north and south entrances to their original form\, new east and west entrances (including a monumental east entrance) and a covered detainee entrance on the west side of the building. Inside\, the elevators are being updated and a glass elevator will be added to the new atrium space. The atrium space has a monumental stair and full skylight. \nJoin a hard hat tour at 2405 Courthouse Dr.\, Virginia Beach\, VA 23456. \nRegister \nHARDHATS\, CLOSED-TOED SHOES\, PROTECTIVE EYE-WEAR\, AND SAFETY VESTS ARE REQUIRED.

SUMMARY:Transportation Noise Control in Residential Buildings
DESCRIPTION:In urban and suburban environments\, transportation noise continually impacts residential properties 24 hours a day\, 7 days a week. This applies to not only major sources such as interstate highways\, airports\, and railways but to secondary streets in urban environments as well\, where buildings crowd closely to busy roadways. Understanding the fundamentals of noise\, noise regulations\, building shell design\, and implementation are key to creating quiet living spaces in close proximity to major and “minor” transportation noise sources. \nIt is our goal to educate residential building designers in the basics of transportation noise and in the fundamentals of outdoor to indoor noise control. Noise impact upon building occupants disrupts work\, sleep\, and leisure time which in turn adds stress\, fatigue\, and aggravation to daily life. Quiet environments promote good physical\, mental\, and spiritual health. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU|HSW \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots: From People to Planet
DESCRIPTION:Equity\, Environment\, and Economy. People\, Planet\, and Prosperity. Racial\, Environmental\, and Social Justice. We have all heard about this three ­legged stool of Sustainability and never has it been more apparent – that all three legs are falling down. All three are undergoing a current crisis. All three pose a massive threat that disproportionately affects populations unjustly. We need to address and respond to these threats simultaneously with a road to recovery\, prevention\, and ultimately resilience by connecting the dots from people to planet. How are the architecture\, design\, and sustainable professions in Baltimore and across the country addressing these complex challenges? How can education environments be enhanced for better learning outcomes? How does the development of the pipeline impact diversity within the profession? \nSpeakers: \nLisa M.

SUMMARY:Lighting WELL
DESCRIPTION:Lighting and the WELL Building Standard \nWe know how to design environments that fuel our bodies\, keep us moving\, inspire our best work and facilitate a good night’s sleep. The Well Building Standard endeavors to provide an evidence-based process to validate an approach to design for environmental health and well-being. This seminar explores methods to achieve health and well-being in the Light Concept of the 2019 Well Buildings Standard version 2.0 as it pertains to both electric and daylighting sources. We spend more than 90% of our lives indoors. Studies show strong links between better views\, brighter light and better performance in office environments. The Light Well Concept promotes exposure to light and aims to create lighting environments that are optimal for visual\, mental\, and biological health. Discover how the standard supports circadian stimulus\, hormone levels and the sleep-wake cycles of occupants derived through scientific and medical knowledge to promote alertness\, better performance\, and better sleep quality while potentially reducing obesity\, diabetes\, depression\, breast cancer\, sleep disorders and more. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU \nRegister online.
