PVC products have been around for 100 years. They’re common in the construction industry because of their durability and long life. But old PVC manufacturing practices still cause concern for some of today’s specifiers. This course will address those concerns head-on. We’ll talk about today’s manufacturing processes and how recycling is transforming the industry. You’ll see how PVC resin becomes a strong and beautiful product using the example of vinyl fencing. With the understanding of today’s regulations, collaboration, and green-building practices, you’ll have the confidence to specify today’s PVC products.

Sound control is a critical element to a building’s design. How an occupant will use the space must be understood in order to deliver a healthy and functional environment free of noise. Is speech privacy important? Is this a learning environment? Does the office open to a manufacturing floor? We all think of the walls, ceiling, and floor when discussing sound attenuation. But we must not overlook the importance of an acoustic-door assembly. Without the proper acoustic door, the sound-control goals in an acoustic plan may not be met. This course will review healthy sound levels and how to test and identify target STC ratings. We’ll discuss the elements of the acoustic-door assembly and how the assembly addresses fire-ratings and ADA compliance, contributes to LEED certification and green building, and provides security for classified files and electronic data.

Acoustic lighting is a real thing, delivering real value. Learn why acoustic lighting is suddenly an important component of designing modern spaces. Topics include the trends driving the need for acoustic lighting, in particular the intersection of open concept spaces with designing for wellness. Also, basic acoustic design factors that influence the effectiveness of acoustic lighting, and different approaches to combining acoustics and lighting.

The word sustainable is often used to describe building products, but few are more sustainable than cork. This course will dive deep into the Cork Oak tree, its regenerative bark, mindful harvesting, and its use in building products. We’ll review cork’s natural properties that make it ideal in the built environment, including moisture resistance, durability, and superior acoustic control. This course will examine the use of cork in flooring underlayment as an example of its ability to reduce impact sound in ceiling/flooring assemblies. Lastly, we’ll address cork’s contribution to a circular economy and review its lifecycle stages from its responsible forestry at raw materials to its end-of-life where cork products can be recycled into new products.
