SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Commercial Building Commissioning
DESCRIPTION:1 LU | HSW \nPresented by CLEAResult \nZoom Registration \nCourse description: Occupants feel better\, in terms of both physical health and mood. Some examples of performance issues that affect comfort are temperature extremes\, humidity extremes\, excessive airspeed from ventilation\, unpleasant odors\, and noise. \nThis session will highlight how building commissioning supports owner’s energy conservation goals across all commercial buildings\, from smaller simple buildings to high-performance complex buildings. During this webinar we will discuss actual project case studies highlighting how the commissioning process was executed and how it met the energy efficiency code requirements at each step along the way. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nWhat is commissioning? How to verify and document\, learn about the value and what is required for green building certifications. What are the current commercial energy codes and versions.\nBuilding Commissioning is an often-overlooked chapter in the commercial energy code\, but it highly impacts energy performance of buildings. The most energy efficient equipment only performs correctly if it has been installed and controlled properly. Learn when and why commissioning is mandated and how\, once done accurately\, the benefits of commissioning on occupant health and wellbeing are recognizably improved.\nWe will discuss commissioning systems\, tasks\, plans\, specifications\, functional performance testing\, reporting\, and Operations & Maintenance manuals.\nLearn about Rhode Island energy codes currently in effect and amendments.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Zero Energy Homes Designing HVAC for Large Spaces with Low Loads
DESCRIPTION:1 LU | HSW \nPresented by CLEAResult \nRegister \nCourse description: Few building professionals seem not to fully grasp the relationship between health\, ventilation\, and humidity. When designing an HVAC system for high preforming tightly built homes\, ventilation and humidity have a big impact on occupant wellbeing. A good system will more than pay for itself in reduced heating and cooling costs and designers have a responsibility to help ascertain healthy and safe environments. \nThis course focuses on the HVAC and ventilation provisions of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) including correct sizing and design of HVAC systems\, and ventilation strategies that ensure enhanced indoor air quality. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn about the “house as a system approach” to achieve optimum design for a low load home along with the importance of equipment selection and design considerations.\nWe will go over proper sizing\, system design\, duct leakage testing and requirements.\nVentilation strategies such as Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) for optimal indoor air quality will be discussed.\nLearn about the importance of contractor training and tenant/homeowner education for achieving a comfortable home that will stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer.\nA review of how Rhode Island Energy’s technical support\, rebates\, and energy incentives along with how they can assist with achieving improvements will be summarized.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Aerial Innovation: Exploring the Capabilities of Drones in the Building Industry
DESCRIPTION:1 LU |HSW \nPresented by Existing Conditions\, A Chapter Supporter \nZoom Registration \nCourse description: The role of drones in reality capture and building documentation continues to evolve rapidly every year. With billions of dollars in research and development going towards the unmanned aerial vehicle industry\, many previously cost-prohibitive services are now within reach of most architects and building industry professionals. FAA-certified pilots can help you leverage drones to the fullest\, and when combined with an exterior building scan using terrestrial laser scanning\, architects and building owners often find that aerial drone surveys can be a great complement or alternative to a full 3D Revit model or CAD exterior elevations. In this course\, the team from Existing Conditions will provide attendees with the information they need to leverage drone technology to properly evaluate the conditions of their buildings through the use of photographic\, thermographic\, and photogrammetric data. By completing this course\, participants will better understand how to ensure the health\, safety\, and welfare of the occupants of the built environment and the local community through the use of drone hardware\, software\, and drone service providers. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn how architects\, building owners\, and real estate professionals are using drone technology to document buildings at the beginning of a project\, which helps to reduce the risk of costly errors and enables shared access among multiple project members. Additionally\, understand how drones are used to gain access to hard-to-reach areas\, mitigating the risk of exposing project team members to unsafe conditions\, and discover ways to reduce health and safety risks for building occupants and the local community while working on existing\, aging buildings.\nUnderstand how to leverage drone hardware\, specifically the DJI Mavic Series and DJI Matrice Series\, to properly evaluate the exterior conditions of existing buildings in order to reduce risks and add value to projects. You will also understand the various functionality and benefits of each hardware series\, enabling you to choose the best option for your specific needs.\nSee how software such as Drone Deploy\, Scopito\, and Pix4D can be utilized to improve communication among project members and eliminate many health and safety risks present on building renovations. You will gain an understanding of the key features and capabilities of each software\, and learn how to leverage them to enhance project collaboration\, data management\, and decision-making processes.\nWitness multiple real-world case studies to illustrate how drone hardware and software are utilized in the building industry today to protect the health\, safety\, and welfare of the local community and building occupants. By the end of this course\, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how these tools can help building owners and architects make informed decisions to enhance their buildings’ performance\, safety\, and sustainability.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Fundamental Applications of Modern Interior Wall Systems
DESCRIPTION:1 LU | HSW \nPresented by Monarch Metal Inc. \nZoom Registration \nCourse Description: The use of interior wall systems relies on a basic knowledge of loads\, how walls work\, what types of walls are commonly found\, and how framing systems integrate and coordinate together for success. The proper design of structural elements\, sustainable material choices and proper execution of many dis-similar components become functional elements in our built environment. These choices have occupant safety considerations\, health ramifications\, and of course a diverse number of sustainably responsible considerations. Learning about the proper execution of a system from the foundation to more complex multi-component wall systems. \nThis presentation will concentrate on understanding by examining the commonly commercially available interior wall partitions\, systems and uses. We will discover by detailing the design constraints that affect choices as designers using interior wall systems. At the conclusion you will be able to identify the design parameters\, structural components\, and finish materials for interior wall systems and how our design choices contribute to the impact and character of the spaces you design. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the history & development of interior wall partitions & common uses\nIdentify design functions\, constraints\, structural capabilities\, and application methods\nConsiderations when choosing an interior wall system and its framing components\nDistinguishing how our design choices affect the impact\, character and performance of our spaces while keeping sustainability objectives in mind
