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: Armstrong Ceilings presents\, Acoustical Design for Today’s Buildings
DESCRIPTION:1 HSW \nZoom  Registration required \nCourse Description:  Poor architectural acoustics can negatively affect building occupants’ concentration\, comprehension\, confidentiality\, healing\, and/or learning. By contrast\, good sound qualities can add drama\, vibrancy\, and energy\, enhancing the occupant experience.  Join us to explore the many options available today that help architects design for acoustics without compromising their design vision. \n Learning Objectives: At the end of this course\, participants will be able to:  \n• Analyze  and explore  the fundamental principles  related  to interior  acoustic design\, and their  relationship  to green buildings and sustainable  design. \n• Examine  the traditional  and new ceiling  system  options  available  to provide  interior  acoustic  treatments  that are  both visually  appealing as well as acoustically  appropriate  to the space  use.  \n• Assess  the various  characteristics  of acoustical  ceilings  that can contribute  to green  and sustainable  building design.  \n• Recognize  and identify  the acoustic  needs  of different  design applications and the attributes  to look  for\, including contributions  to green building certification.
