SUMMARY:Online CE Webinar - Comparative Study of Wood and Aluminum Windows in Commercial Buildings (Pella)
DESCRIPTION:Program No. P117: Comparative Study of Wood and Aluminum Windows in Commercial Buildings (Pella) \n1.0 HSW – Register for Zoom CE Webinar\, required. \nBoth wood and aluminum windows are being used extensively in today’s commercial and institutional buildings\, especially in education\, health care\, and offices. Using project case studies from across the United States\, this program examines how window selection criteria (aesthetics\, cost\, energy efficiency\, and sustainability) impact the design process. \nAs we look at commercial window applications which include punched openings\, storefronts\, and curtain walls\, architects will learn some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with the use of wood or aluminum windows in each application. As we compare aesthetics\, cost\, energy efficiency\, and sustainability; architects will improve their ability to objectively advise their clients on what is the best window solution for their next project. \nLearning Objectives:• Describe how the aesthetic attributes of wood and aluminum windows contribute to interior environments that are livable\, comfortable\, productive\, safe\, and beautiful.• Identify the initial costs associated with wood and aluminum windows and how they impact the life cycle assessment of the window systems.• Compare how the physical attributes of wood and aluminum windows contribute to the overall energy efficiency of the building envelope.• Use energy modeling to determine the annual energy costs for wood and aluminum window systems in different climatic zones.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Action Now: Accelerating Pathways To Decarbonization
DESCRIPTION:Offered by AIA Seattle (times given are Pacific Time) \nFor many years\, our focus as a professional association has been on reducing or eliminating operating carbon from new buildings. But the significant scale and urgent timeframe of our climate crisis demand interventions that are broad and immediate\, and that recognize decarbonization is directly correlated to health\, safety\, and equity in our communities. \nConsidering: 1) Reducing embodied carbon in new construction\, including the construction process; 2) Electrification of buildings; and 3) Retrofitting existing buildings\, this year’s thought leadership summit will explore high-impact actions in policy and practice that make actionable differences in atmospheric carbon over the next five years. \nWhat are the data-driven interventions that will pay the highest dividends immediately\, and what will position us to stay on the path to 2030 targets and net-zero 2050? What are the regulatory and financial frameworks necessary to support this scale and urgency? \nCLASS CREDIT6.5 LU/HSW \n\nWEBINAR SCHEDULE + REGISTRATION\nFour (4) live Zoom webinars will take place on Tuesday\, April 21\, 2020 between 8:30AM – 5:00 PM (Pacific Time). \nJoin us online to learn from thought leaders and identify immediate actions we can take to accelerate decarbonization in the built environment.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Duro Last presents\, Labor Shortage Solution: Specifying a Factory-fabricated Roofing Membrane
DESCRIPTION:1 HSW \nZoom Registration required \nCourse Description:  In a perfect world\, the architect designs a building and the contractor builds it\, accurately and on time\, with all the skilled labor necessary. In the real world\, the supply of skilled construction labor ebbs and flows. Today is has ebbed. The scarcity of skilled labor drives up costs and drives down quality as crews rush from project to project in a quickening market. This course is about how skilled labor shortages are affecting construction timetables and quality\, with a focus on the roofing industry\, and how a solution that architects can specify – factory-controlled\, prefabricated membrane roofing systems that install onsite in a fraction of the time and with fewer workers – is helping solve the problem. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscuss the decline of skilled building labor in the United States and its effect on building quality and durability.\nExplain the history and benefits of a controlled factory setting for building components that decrease faulty onsite installation.\nDiscuss studies of roof failures that show that most moisture intrusion and uplift problems occur because of installation errors.\nDescribe how single-ply membrane roofing assemblies work for quality control and increase durability.\nList case studies where prefabricated membrane roofing saved labor time onsite\, decreased disruptions to building occupants\, and increased durability of the roof and health and comfort for the occupants.

SUMMARY:Webinar: International Masonry Institute presents\, Forensic Engineering for Historic Properties
DESCRIPTION:1 HSW \n Zoom Registration required \nCourse Description:  Historic buildings and structures can show signs of distress or damage\, but require an investigation to understand the root cause of the issue. Forensic engineering is the field of engineering where we assess and diagnose problems. Information from the investigation is used to develop repair and restoration solutions that address issue appropriately. Forensic techniques can be used on a variety of types of construction and building materials. This presentation will use case studies to illustrate examples of how forensic engineering has been used for restoration and rehabilitation projects. Case studies will include historic stone masonry\, terra cotta and steel structure\, exposed concrete\, and a copper dome. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the basics of a forensic engineering investigation.\nRecognize observations and tools used during investigations and the limitations for assessing the extent of deterioration.\nLearn common investigation approaches for various types of building construction\, including historic stone masonry\, terra cotta and steel\, and exposed concrete.\nUnderstand how forensic engineering identifies the causation of problems and is valuable to historic restoration and rehabilitation projects.
