SUMMARY:Webinar: AIA CT presents\, Addressing Bias & Equity in the AEC Industry
DESCRIPTION:Diversity\, equity\, and inclusion efforts at work can take many forms. However\, those efforts are often undermined by bias\, which may be unconscious. For any employer working toward a fair and inclusive workplace\, having certain individuals unfairly excluded or limited at work is problematic. In the modern U.S. workplace\, unconscious\, or implicit\, bias can affect our decisions and requires strategic thinking to ensure that employees and management are aware of it and committed to eradicating its influence. This webinar will discuss strategies to mitigate unconscious bias at work and how to influence that strategy from the top down. REGISTER 1.5 LU\, Free \nHosted by AIA Connecticut’s Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Committee\, and supported by the AIA CT Women in Architecture Committee and NOMA CT\, the second of the 3-part series focuses on unconscious bias and equitable practices in the AEC Industry.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Sky Factory presents\, Biophilic Illusions
DESCRIPTION:1 HSW \nZoom Registration required \nCourse Description:  The courseexplores the human-nature connection and attraction to nature\, identified as biophilia\, and the benefits of incorporating elements of nature\, both real and simulated\, into built spaces.  We explore the ways that our lives are dependently and beneficially intertwined with nature. We look at the trend towards Biophilic Design —integrating nature into architecture to enliven biophilia’s restorative properties.  Illusion\, illusions of nature\, and sky illusions will be examined in relationship to architectural design\, and Biophilic Design in particular. Finally\, we’ll delve into the purpose\, creation\, and applications of sky-image ceilings. \nLearning  Objectives: \nFollowing this course you will be able to: \n\nDefine biophilia – its evolutionary origins and benefits to human life.\nDiscuss the purpose and tenets of Biophilic Design.\nSummarize the use of illusion and illusions of nature in architecture.\nExplain the purpose\, creation\, and applications of sky-image ceilings.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Technoform Group presents\, Designing High Performance Facades
DESCRIPTION:1 HSW \nZoom Registration required \nCourse Description: This course describes the multiple challenges in designing high performance building envelopes in order to deliver energy performance\, sufficient glazed area for optimized daylight admission and views\, thermal comfort and condensation resistance (indoor air quality) as well as structural and durability performance\, yet still providing architectural design freedom. Common disconnects in specifying fenestration and fenestration components are reviewed. The concept of the “thermal zone” is introduced\, and technologies such as polyamide thermal breaks and warm-edge spacer\, that improve its performance are described. Guidance is provided on choosing the optimum thermal break and edge of glass spacer technologies to meet thermal performance requirements while still delivering the structural and durability requirements\, and also allowing architectural design freedom. The fenestration U-factor requirements of the recently updated and more stringent energy codes\, and how to specify fenestration components to meet them\, are also covered. \nLearning  Objectives \nUpon completing this course\, you will be able to: \n\nDescribe the current challenges for designing high performance\, sustainable\, building envelopes\nIdentify the common misconceptions regarding the specification of fenestration\nSummarize the key thermal zone technologies in the market and choose optimum thermal break and spacer technology to reach design thermal performance targets\, while maintaining durability and structural performance\, and optimizing aesthetics\nIdentify through case studies the use of thermal zone technology selection strategies to create high performance building envelopes in a range of climate zones and applications
