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.

Florida Building Code, 6th Edition (2017) Advanced Class for Fenestration

Florida Building Code, 6th Edition (2017) Advanced Class for Fenestration

Sponsored By PGT Custom Windows & Doors
2 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
2 FABC CE Hour

This course will address the different fenestration codes within the Florida Building Codes 6th Edition (2017).

Learning Objectives:
  1. The course begins with a brief history of the Florida Building Codes. an explanation of how the Commission works. We next explore the different reasons why opening protection is so important, and how it can save the consumer money in the long run. A thorough explanation of all the testing methods and label requirements used by the Florida Building Code will be given. The wind-borne debris provisions within the code will be discussed, along with the ASCE 7-10 maps depicting where this is required. All the wind-borne debris choices available by code, along with advantages and disadvantages of each will be explored. Code issues that everyone will need to know and pay attention to when choosing and installing fenestration products will be addressed as well.
  2. Caution will be noted as to what to look for when reviewing either a Florida Product Approval or a Miami-Dade NOA. As “energy” has taken a very prominent spot due to legislation, the decisions needed to be made in order to be compliant with the current code, as well as what the future codes will require, will also be clarified. The course will finalize with a list and explanation of resources available to everyone to keep informed as to all the requirements when thinking about purchasing windows and doors either for replacement or for new construction.
