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:Designing for Fire Safety
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 Non-Load-Bearing Wall Assemblies Containing Combustible Components” is a common consideration with modern building assemblies that use combustible materials. This presentation will review the history and scope of the NFPA 285 test standard\, and its adoption within the International Building Code (IBC). It will outline the criteria for compliance\, as well as identify triggers and contributors under the standard. The presentation will review how the selection 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. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU | HSW \nRegister online.
