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: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: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.
