SUMMARY:High Performing Resilient Wood Framed Roofs
DESCRIPTION:This course provides an overview and discussion of resilient construction methods related to roof construction. We start by defining resiliency as a design objective\, then investigate the financial ramifications of natural disasters on structures not designed with resiliency in mind. We describe numerous programs that promote resilient construction in the US\, including a program designed to provide insurance discounts to homeowners that build to resilient standards. Finally\, the program describes the construction techniques that qualify as resilient practices and provides a financial comparison of the costs of these practices. \nAs a result of participating in this presentation\, attendees will be equipped to: \n\nIdentify and recognize the natural environmental forces that affect the design considerations of wood-framed roof systems.\nAssess the advantages and disadvantages of resilient vs. non-resilient design.\nCompare and contrast the performance characteristics of the components of a wood-framed roof system.\nProvide best practice solutions for resilient design of wood-framed roofs.\n\nEarn 1.0 AIA LU | HSW \nRegister online. \nPresented in collaboration with Huber Engineered Woods.

SUMMARY:Architects Speak Up! Message Book Training
DESCRIPTION:While there is great respect for architects\, there’s little understanding of what we do\, or how our work affects others. Architectural practice is constantly evolving. To move the profession forward\, architects must work together to understand each other and communicate our value. Using findings from extensive research the AIA conducted about the general public’s perception of architects and architecture\, this presentation will review proven messaging strategies\, the importance of the words you use\, and how to make your message resonate with legislators\, your clients\, and the public. It’s our job to help others understand what we do\, and more importantly\, why it’s important to them. \nRegister. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU | Elective \nHaven’t registered for the full Architects Speak Up! program yet? Sign up today to be part of Architects Speak Up! 2022.

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: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
