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.

SUMMARY:Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Floor Panels for Multifamily Buildings
DESCRIPTION:All multifamily buildings must meet code requirements for fire-resistance between dwelling units and meet requirements for acoustical performance. \nThis course looks more closely at designing and constructing with MgO panels. We begin with a description of the material and its properties and its code compliance characteristics related to fire resistance. The sound attenuation capabilities are also reviewed. Its installation\, particularly compared to wet-laid gypsum underlayment\, is presented. Overall\, using MgO panels are an option for specifications and design of multifamily projects around the country. \nLearning Objectives:\nAfter completion of this course\, participants will be equipped to:\n1. Identify the physical characteristics of magnesium oxide (MgO) panels in terms of their make-up and basic performance attributes for use in floor assemblies in multifamily projects.\n2. Investigate the fire-resistance capabilities and testing standards that demonstrate the ability for MgO panels to provide fire safety in buildings.\n3. Assess the acoustical capabilities of MgO panels in terms of meeting or exceeding code requirements for multifamily buildings on certain tested assemblies in dwelling separations.\n4. Compare and contrast the use of MgO structural panels with other floor underlayment options\, particularly gypsum underlayment\, in order to specify MgO panels appropriately in multifamily floor assemblies. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU | HSW \nRegister online. \nPresented in partnership with Huber Engineered Woods
