Security Pass Thru Combinations

Security Pass Thru Combinations

Sponsored By Ron Blank & Associates Inc.
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

The course teaches about bullet resistant and secure pass thru windows and equipment to keep employees safe in hospitals, banks, pharmacies and all public domains. The course will instruct upon the varying levels of bullet resistant protection, anti-theft, various window tints, shades and security levels.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Define & clarify the types of bullet resistant protection levels.
  2. Evaluate & recognize where and when to specify security windows and pass thru devices.
  3. Specify correct products to support the design criteria.
  4. Distinguish the differences of fire-rated applications along with added security measures and how they overlap.

Masonry Solutions for BIM

Masonry Solutions for BIM

Sponsored By Oldcastle APG
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

Masonry construction presents a myriad of challenges for specifiers – especially those who are less familiar with masonry construction methods, performance standards and assembly detailing.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Investigate how masonry codes, best practices and modeling software interact during the design process to ensure a high-performing masonry building. The IECC's C402.1.4 U-Factor method of performance calculation and TMS 402 Standard on masonry movement joints – two major challenges in masonry design – will be specifically highlighted.
  2. Describe a number of complex masonry wall assemblies that BIM modeling tools can help simplify, including single- and double-wythe walls, reinforced masonry, cavity walls and insulated masonry.
  3. Identify the structural, insulative and mechanical performance of masonry products, including concrete masonry units (CMUs) and structural clay brick.
  4. Analyze how new masonry modeling tools have solved previous shortcomings, including how BIM technology can simplify the challenge and expand the possibilities of designing with masonry.
  5. Apply techniques for modeling masonry walls to reduce cost and improve installation quality by reducing waste, limiting material cuts, clarifying reinforcement locations and eliminating clash during the design process instead of in the field.

Spray-Applied Acoustical Finishes

Sponsored By International Cellulose Corporation
Presented By Chuck Smith
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 GBCI General Hour

This course provides a comprehensive overview of spray-applied acoustical finishes, examines the relationship of acoustics and health, safety and welfare and the need for acoustical consideration prior to building occupancy.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Describe basic acoustical terms and sound principals in relation to building materials, and project types. Recognize the need for acoustical consideration prior to building occupancy.
  2. Describe the benefits spray-applied acoustical finishes provide including: enhanced Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), possible LEED contribution points, and overall functionality.
  3. Identify the three main types of spray-applied acoustical finishes: Cellulose based, Gypsum/Plaster based, and Cementitious based and recognize the textures, benefits and uses for each.
  4. Examine the relationship between Acoustics and Health and Safety, and the health risks associated to excessive noise. Recognize facilities and areas requiring acoustical treatment.

High Performance Space Heating in High Bay Buildings

High Performance Space Heating in High Bay Buildings

Sponsored By Cambridge Air Solutions - No
Presented By Randy Niederer
1 AIA LU CE Hour(s)

For many years, there has been little improvement in the heating efficiencies of commercial and industrial heating products in the US. This presentation details a class of make up air technology established by the Department of Energy called High Temperature Heating & Ventilation (HTHV).

Learning Objectives:
  1. Understand how a building can meet its space heating and ventilation needs through 100% outside air HTHV direct fired heating technology
  2. Understand the potential for widespread energy savings with HTHV technologies.
  3. Understand how a building can meet its space heating and ventilation needs through 100% outside air HTHV direct fired heating technology
  4. Recognize the energy savings from a recent DOE field study of HTHV technology.

Metal Roofs - Wind Uplift(ing) or NOT?

Sponsored By S-5!
Presented By Shelly Higgins
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

Discover the science of wind uplift; how it is changing. Learn how the changes are impacting codes and roof material choices. Learn about testing and specification techniques for metal roof options and accessories to improve wind uplift resistance providing a safer building at a lower cost.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Describe the effects of wind uplift on roofs and the science behind it.
  2. Understand the changes in ASCE 07 and how it creates a safer building.
  3. Explain wind uplift testing and why it is important.
  4. Identify methods, metal roof accessories and applications to improve metal roof performance in wind uplift situations.
  5. Explain specification techniques; how to properly select and specify wind rated metal roofs and accessories to value engineer wind control.
