Enhancing Roof Design with Composite Solutions

Sponsored By DaVinci Roofscapes

1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

In this one-hour course, design professionals will thoroughly explore the sustainable and versatile characteristics of composite roofing solutions. The course will cover the benefits of composite roofing systems, such as their long life-cycle, durability, and adaptability for a variety of applications and environments.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the environmentally friendly features of virgin-engineered polymer composite roofing materials.
Explain the design and architectural advantages of choosing composite roofing solutions, including their product integrity, versatility, and visual appeal.
Evaluate the pros and cons of traditional roofing materials compared to composite products.
Analyze the durability and extended lifespan of composite roofing materials, along with the various testing methods and approvals associated with roofing materials.

Sound Control Dynamics For Sustainable Construction

Sponsored By Homasote

Presented By Chuck McPherson

1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 GBCI General Hour

In this one-hour course, we will go deeper into the nature of sound by exploring its inherent characteristics and how we can use that knowledge to design for more effective sound control.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss how sound propagates and transmits
Explore the specific dynamics of airborne and structure-borne sound attenuation
Describe sound control strategies that are particular to common wall and floor/ceiling assemblies
Examine code compliant sound control design methods for walls and floors using sustainable, mold-resistant cellulosic fiberboards made from recycled materials

Security Driven Design: A Guide to Ballistic, Blast, and Forced Entry Protection

Sponsored By Armortex

Presented By Rick Snelling

1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

As security threats continue to evolve, architects play an increasingly important role in designing buildings that protect occupants, critical assets, and essential operations.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the performance characteristics of ballistic, forced entry, and blast resistant systems that contribute to occupant safety, asset protection, and resilient building design.
Differentiate the standards, testing protocols, and certification criteria used to evaluate ballistic, blast, and forced entry resistant building products and assemblies.
Compare the design and performance of protective glazing, doors, panels, framing systems, and related security components when specifying solutions for varying threat levels and project requirements.
Apply lessons from built project case studies to specify physical security systems that enhance life safety, building protection, and overall project resilience.
