Designing Low Voltage Infrastructure for Technology Spaces
11:20 AM - 12:20 PM
Modern environments such as classrooms, collaboration, meeting and board rooms have seen a transformation in both their overall layout and how they are being utilized, post pandemic. Low voltage systems, IT, AV, and building managements systems in the past were stand alone systems and this isolation between them caused issues for the users experience in a negative way. By working together on the early design phases, this will eliminate many challenges for designers and engineers planning a space layout. Audiovisual and data applications in various spaces will be covered, and the connectivity requirements associated with them for onsite and remote applications. This presentation will show how combining facility management, IT and AV teams on the usage of the spaces early in the process will enhance the user’s experiences. A variety of ceiling, wall and floor boxes as cable management solutions will be addressed. The different features of these boxes will be covered, as well as UL requirements, electrical issues, the merging of technology aesthetics and developments in connectivity will also be discussed. Various connectivity and cable management solutions within tables and other furniture will be covered.

The Benefits of 100% Offsite Fabricated Stainless Steel Railing Systems
01:15 PM - 02:15 PM
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.

Polished Concrete from Start to Maintenance
02:25 PM - 03:25 PM
This presentation explains the benefits of polished concrete
flooring, including aesthetics, abrasion & stain resistance,
sustainability, and reduced maintenance costs. We discuss
the products and procedures involved in each flooring job
type from new to restoration. Participants will discover the
importance of jobsite mockups and how they are used to
manage expectations. The program also shows how to
protect and maintain finished concrete flooring according to
flooring use. It includes tips for protecting finished floors
from damage during building construction and beyond.

Safety, Security, and Simplifying Access: Integrated Overhead and Access Control Solutions
03:25 PM - 04:25 PM
Modern commercial, industrial, and multifamily projects demand seamless integration between site access points and building systems. This course reviews how innovative proprietary systems can be adopted to create a comprehensive, safe, secure, and easy-to-use control system, from gate operators and barrier arms to interior keypads and overhead doors. Also discussed is how the technology platform connects the necessary hardware and software in a unified, scalable solution that enhances security and access control and simplifies access management across various building areas. Lastly, some real-world examples are presented to highlight these integrated solutions, showcasing the value of specifying compatible system components from a single source versus fragmented system parts.
