10:40 AM - 11:40 AM

In this one-hour course, design professionals will gain practical knowledge of the nature and characteristics of sound propagation and attenuation. We will show how that knowledge can be applied to the design of wall and floor/ceiling assemblies. We will discuss building code criteria and guidelines, including strategies to meet these requirements utilizing sustainable cellulosic fiberboard. By the end of this course, design professionals will be able to specify optimal sound control strategies that best fit each project’s needs.

Explore the advantages of integrating 100% offsite fabrication into the design of the ornamental railing you specify in your architectural projects.

When compared to local fabrication, Offsite fabrication of custom-designed railing systems not only dramatically improves product quality, it also minimizes project waste, reduces product costs, and streamlines construction processes. Offsite Fabrication = Value Engineering!

In this presentation you will learn how architects, designers, and engineers can reduce overall project costs and improve project outcomes by specifiying architectural products which have been custom-designed to precisely fit each project, and then prefabricated to completion offsite, while helping builders and contractors achieve greater efficiency.

This presentation is intended to increase awareness of Western Red Cedar uses, properties and performance characteristics. An introduction to the terms and objectives of Biophilic design will be covered. Western Red Cedar grades and properties will be reviewed. Through brief reviews of relevant projects, attendees will gain an appreciation of design trends that leverage cedar's versatility in biophilic design, the direct correlation between natural wood and health and well being, and the enhanced appeal it brings to institutional, commercial and residential designs. The Course will Demonstrate how Western Red Cedar’s value as one of the ‘greenest’ building material available, discussion will include facts about sustainable forests and forest certification systems, as will proper installation, finishing and maintenance for a variety of applications.
