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.

SUMMARY:LEED v4 Engineering & Architectural Integrated Design
DESCRIPTION:Presented by AIA Northern Virginia in partnership with GPI \nLearn about the benefits of coordinating with the project team and owner’s representatives early in a project’s lifecycle\, and how preemptive measures can improve comfort levels\, energy consumption\, and overall health of occupants in a space. \nLearning Objectives: \nLearn what requirements have increased in difficulty in LEED v4\, including exemplary performance credits\, to encourage a healthy workplace environment for occupants. Learn how the role of the architect can impact the available engineering credits.\nLearn the implementation procedures for credits requiring engineering input and how the health benefits of these credits can outweigh the associated costs/risks.\nLearn about how obtaining certain credits can increase simplicity when pursuing additional credits with similar objectives. The increase in ease of attainment of certain credits encourages owners to pursue additional credits\, thereby improving the overall health\, safety\, and wellness of the occupants. \nEarn 1 AIA LU|HSW; 1 IDCEC LU|HSW \nRegister online

SUMMARY:The 2030 Challenge: Goals\, Design Processes and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The building sector is the single largest consumer of energy and producer of greenhouse gas emissions. The 2030 Challenge\, adopted by the AIA\, provides a path to reducing our sector’s negative impacts and reaching carbon neutral design as the standard practice. This series will inspire architects to meet the 2030 Challenge through design strategies\, efficient technologies and systems\, and applying renewable energy resources. \nThe design process is an important element in the creation of next-generation buildings that meet the 2030 Challenge targets. Explore the design processes to produce high-performance and carbon neutral buildings\, including the Integrative Design Process (IDP). Then\, hear collaborative strategies that can achieve low energy outcomes\, and how these strategies can be used as a roadmap throughout the design process. In particular\, we will examine defining core\, early design decisions such as building form and orientation. \nAfter that\, join an interactive discussion about what can often be the biggest challenge making the business case for climate responsive design with your clients. \n(The course will include a mid-session break) \nEarn 2.5 AIA LU | HSW \nRegister online. \nPresenters: \nEdward Mazria\, FAIA\, FRAIC | Architecture 2030\, Founder/CEO \nMary Ann Lazarus\, FAIA\, LEED AP BD+C | MALeco\, LLC\, Principal \nRand Ekman AIA\, LEED Fellow | CannonDesign\, Director of Sustainability \nNathan Kipnis\, FAIA\, LEED AP BD+C | Kipnis Architecture + Planning\, Principal \nKim Shinn\, PE\, LEED Fellow\, CxA\, BEMP | TLC Engineering for Architecture\, Principal\, Senior Sustainability Wizard \nKirk Teske\, FAIA\, LEED Fellow| HKS Architecture\, Chief Operating Officer\, Chief Sustainability Officer \nPanelists: \nTate Walker\, |OPN Architects\, AIA 2030 Commitment Chair \nAnica Landreneau\, Assoc.

SUMMARY:Indoor Air Quality Testing for LEED Certified Projects
DESCRIPTION:Presented by AIA Northern Virginia in partnership with ECS Mid-Atlantic \nWith the rigorous documentation required to achieve LEED certification\, achieving every point possible in a cost-efficient manner is extremely important. This presentation combines a technical discussion on the process and theories of indoor air quality (IAQ) testing for LEED credit with a practical evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of the various options available. Then primary focus is project management issues and how IAQ testing can save time and money on the path toward credit achievement. Emphasis is placed on real world scenarios to provide students with a thorough overview on the process. \nPresented by Bobby Rhett\nECS Mid-Atlantic \nEarn 1 AIA LU|HSW. 1 BOMI LU|HSW \nRegister online.
