Improving the Performance of Finished Concrete Flooring

Improving the Performance of Finished Concrete Flooring

Sponsored By PROSOCO
Presented By Nick Savage
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 GBCI General Hour

This overview of concrete floor basics shows participants how to get the most from finished concrete floors. Along the way, it discusses levels of finished concrete flooring not commonly known. The program shows how to protect and maintain finished concrete flooring.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Compare the waste generation characteristics of lithium-silicate hardener/densifiers to older potassium and sodium-silicate hardeners/densifiers.
  2. Estimate the expected service life of a finished concrete floor and rate it for sustainability on a scale of "good-fair-poor."
  3. List two ways finished concrete floors "perform" that contribute to sustainability.
  4. Explain how regular maintenance contributes to sustainability of polished concrete floors.

A Safe Bet - Bullet, Blast, and Forced Entry Resistant Products

Sponsored By Armortex
Presented By Rick Snelling
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

In this one-hour course, design professionals will learn about anti-ballistic technology, specifically fiberglass panels, windows, doors, and other products, that are used to protect a building’s occupants from weapons, impact, and explosives.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Define the four different types of resistance technologies that are used to protect occupants from weapons, impact, and explosives
  2. Identify the organizations that create standards and testing for resistance technologies to ensure these products are capable of securing the building in the event of an attack
  3. Evaluate anti-ballistic products, specifically panels, windows, and doors, on their durability and safety
  4. Apply knowledge of anti-ballistic technology and specify products to promote safe environments

Specification Strategies to Eliminate Concrete Moisture

Specification Strategies to Eliminate Concrete Moisture

Sponsored By ISE Logik Industries
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

In many projects, installation of floor finishes is one of the last items to occur prior to substantial completion. However, 09 flooring specification sections require moisture testing before flooring can be installed on concrete slabs. When those moisture tests fail, the project faces time delays, unexpected costs, or both.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Discuss owner’s design intent and how it drives project requirements, thereby directly impacting specification language.
  2. Review specific industry documents and reference standards that drives the requirement to moisture test all concrete slabs.
  3. Investigate the genesis of current 09 flooring specification language.
  4. Specify sustainable design processes that eliminate: (1) project delivery delays due to concrete slab moisture, (2) subsequent bond or moisture failures, and (3) design team liability for each.

It's All Downhill...The Evolution of Slope-to-Drain Shower Pans

It's All Downhill...The Evolution of Slope-to-Drain Shower Pans

Sponsored By Noble Company
Presented By Dean Moilanen
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 IDCEC HSW CEU(s)

Slope-to-drain waterproofing concepts are an essential part of ceramic tile and stone installations. Over time, a variety of installation methods and products have been employed to achieve the required slope to drain. Failure to follow industry best practices can result in costly failures in wet-area applications.

Learning Objectives:
  1. We will examine the evolution of slope-to-drain shower pan methods.
  2. We will examine the pros and cons of historic slope-to-drain shower pan methods.
  3. We will investigate the latest developments in slope-to-drain technology.
  4. We will examine current best practice for successful slope-to-drain installations.

Introduction to Existing Building Retrofits

Introduction to Existing Building Retrofits

Sponsored By PROSOCO
Presented By Dave Kimball
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 GBCI General Hour

This program introduces building retrofits as a method to achieve green building standards by adapting existing structures. While a building retrofit may have several types of interventions, participants will learn how effective air sealing will improve overall occupant comfort, health, and safety.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Define building retrofits and identify goals of interventions.
  2. Illustrate how effective air sealing can help achieve goals of retrofit.
  3. Identify common sources of air leakage.
  4. Explain how to implement air sealing in a building retrofit.

2:10 pm

Materials, Technology, and Innovative Trends in Casework Systems

Materials, Technology, and Innovative Trends in Casework Systems

Sponsored By Case Systems
Presented By Michael Cline
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 GBCI General Hour

In this one-hour course, the design professional will gain an understanding of how manufactured casework has evolved over the years. Recent developments in casework that will explained include innovation in materials, concepts and how new manufacturing methods offer advantages.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Define areas that need to be included when specifying casework, including edge, core, and hardware and explain how the proper detailing can lead to a successful project that is aesthetically pleasing and maintains the welfare of building occupants.
  2. Identify current trends and code considerations when specifying laminate casework and how adhering to safety standards will produce a project that is durable and environmentally conscious.
  3. Compare and contrast different core materials and what unique characteristics they each have regarding the safety of building occupants.
  4. Discuss how Division 6 and Division 12 specifications impact your casework project.

Presented By Randy Niederer
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 GBCI General Hour

As “Energy Efficiency” continues to drive the conversation about how heating, ventilate and air condition buildings of all types we have to focus more on those HVAC technologies that we utilize to heat and cool the places where we work. This presentation explores two types of technologies….

Learning Objectives:
  1. Describe technologies available that are some of the most energy efficient ways to heat and temper cool facilities throughout the U.S. that use 100% outside air to improve IAQ
  2. Discuss how improved IAQ can have positive effects on worker productivity
  3. Identify building types that can use 100% outside air technologies to improve IAQ
