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.

He was the first person in the nation to pass all six ARE 5.0 divisions\, and has taught intensive three-day courses at AIA New York\, AIA Miami\, AIA Dallas\, AIA Houston\, AIA Raleigh\, AIA Northern Virginia\, AIA New Orleans\, AIA New Mexico\, AIA Alaska\, and AIA Washington DC. \nThe small portion of the course he’s posted on YouTube has more than 6 million views and more than 30\,000 subscribers. In 2019 AIA Virginia gave him its Award for Distinguished Achievement for his live’s work as an educator. It also recognized his book\, Architectural Acoustics Illustrated (Wiley\, 2015) with its Prize for Design Research (it was the second time he won this research award). Michael is a full tenured professor at Virginia Tech where he’s taught design studio\, building systems\, materials & methods of construction\, and advanced architectural acoustics for 20 years (including many of you in the Richmond area). He’s pretty sure he knows more about this test and how people study for it than anyone in the world. \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Building Tall with Mass Timber
DESCRIPTION:Manufactured mass timber allows buildings to be built faster\, more sustainably with a smaller carbon footprint than steel and concrete\, and a natural look that is healthier for users. In Charlottesville\, Virginia\, the tallest mass timber building in the state rises with the 8-story 187\,000 sq. ft. Apex Clean Energy Headquarters building. In Washington D.C.\, a 2-story 105\,000 sq. ft. vertical expansion of 80 M Street\, a Class-A office property\, is the District’s first mass timber office project. \nJoin the Institute for Sustainable Earth and the Center for Real Estate Entrepreneurship of George Mason University for a discussion with architectural firms William McDonough + Partners and Hickok Cole on these two pioneering real estate projects. \nEarn 1.25 AIA LU | Elective \nRegister online.
