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:
  1. Discuss how sound propagates and transmits
  2. Explore the specific dynamics of airborne and structure-borne sound attenuation
  3. Describe sound control strategies that are particular to common wall and floor/ceiling assemblies
  4. 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 Tyler Benesch
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:
  1. Identify the performance characteristics of ballistic, forced entry, and blast resistant systems that contribute to occupant safety, asset protection, and resilient building design.
  2. Differentiate the standards, testing protocols, and certification criteria used to evaluate ballistic, blast, and forced entry resistant building products and assemblies.
  3. 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.
  4. Apply lessons from built project case studies to specify physical security systems that enhance life safety, building protection, and overall project resilience.
