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: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: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

SUMMARY:DE&I Panel Discussion with Mid-sized Architecture Firms
DESCRIPTION:AIA Northern Virginia’s Women in Architecture is collaborating with the AIA DC Equity Committee by WIELD to host a virtual panel discussion with participants from local\, mid-sized architecture firms sharing their DE&I initiatives and programs. \nMost large firms have implemented formal DE&I programs in the recent past\, but small and mid-size firms often rely on grassroots efforts by staff\, with minimal direction or investment from firm leadership. \nThrough this discussion\, we hope to share experiences and best practices and evaluate measures implemented over the last year. We’ll look at how we can improve our current practices and influence firm leadership. \n1.5 LU | Elective \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Incorporating the Forgotten Thermal Benefits of Brick
DESCRIPTION:While frequently chosen for aesthetics and durability\, clay brick is not often considered when energy efficiency is a primary concern\, even though it historically played a significant role in occupant comfort before widespread use of HVAC systems. This course discusses the basics of heat transfer\, relevant energy code provisions for walls\, and how current research by the National Brick Research Center demonstrates the role that brick veneer can play in meeting or exceeding energy requirements in modern wall assemblies. \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.
