Stating by doing so we will “improve public health\, protect the environment\, and enhance quality of life”. \nA new community of energy efficient homes being built to DOE’s Zero Energy Ready standards is currently under construction in Warwick RI. – We will present on the construction techniques health\, energy\, and environmental benefits. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nHow to design and build a high-quality\, cost-effective building shell for comfort\, durability\, and energy savings. Learn about: What goes on inside the walls of a well-insulated home\, techniques for effective insulation and air barriers\, and how to incorporate appropriate heating and cooling equipment.\nSeminar Topics: Participants will be able to: Identify what goes into making a home “low load”\, Understand why to build a home this way\, understand basic HVAC system sizing and duct design for low load homes and identify the difference between planned and installed systems and reasoning behind the changes.\nBuilding Science – The fundamental principles of energy and moisture transfer\, and how homes are designed and built to control them. Zero Energy Ready Homes – Basic design considerations required to achieve low energy use homes. We will talk about construction techniques that are critical to achieve high-performance buildings and provide an understanding of the certification process and the role of consultants\, standards\, and verification.\nHow these homes will meet the requirements of DOE Zero Energy Ready and the RI Residential Stretch Code.

Examples of the benefits to specific project cost and schedule due to off-side fabrication of the steel will be shown. And attendees will understand the qualities of and fabrication techniques for structural steel\, structural engineering concepts\, as well as architectural detailing\, fire protection and coating systems for structural steel that promote the structural integrity\, safety and long-term maintenance of the material and the building.\nLearn how recent structural steel innovations allow architects to easily express their design concepts to alleviate client serviceability concerns and demonstrate how the design of the steel structure will enhance occupant comfort and well-being.\nLearn how steel Wide Flange (WF) shapes and Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) are manufactured and what makes steel fully recyclable and environmentally friendly in addition to being a strong\, durable\, adaptable and safe building material.

New floating methods have been developed leading to more flexible\, healthful\, and sustainable options in natural materials. This course is designed to teach participants the characteristics of floating floor assemblies that increase resilience to wear and promote adaptive reuse of flooring materials. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearning about new innovations in solid hardwood flooring and how they compared to the previous alternatives\, and positive implications moving forward.\nUnderstand how floating assemblies improve hardwood flooring performance while reducing the constant need to replace and discard floors every 5 to 20 years depending on wood species.\n\nWhole Woods: Why Solid Hardwoods are the Sustainable Solution for the Future \nCourse description:  Solid hardwood materials sequester roughly 1/2 of their weight in carbon and thereby represent a significant advantage in the construction of green buildings. Additional benefits are provided when materials are locally sourced and manufactured using wind and solar power. This course will explore the additional “carbon positive” benefits of innovative floating floor assemblies that are comprised of natural solid hardwoods. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nWeigh the costs and benefits of using solid woods in flooring applications\nDescribe the tangible sustainable benefits of using solid wood in construction\n\n  URL:https://aia-ri.org/event/webinar-floating-hardwood-floors-sustainable-solid-hardwoods-2-mini-sessions/ LOCATION:Zoom\, RI\, United States CATEGORIES:CEU Offering - Online ORGANIZER;CN="Roni Phipps":MAILTO:info@aia-ri.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20221219 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20221231 DTSTAMP:20240328T052216 CREATED:20221108T133351Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221108T133351Z UID:10642-1671408000-1672444799@aia-ri.org SUMMARY:WEBINAR: AIAU DESCRIPTION:There will not be an AIAri CEU session this week.  You are able to take a course offered by AIAU at your convenience. \nBrowse courses and register \nAIAU features rigorously-curated content for architects\, designers\, builders\, and others working in our diverse and evolving field.
