The Benefits of 100% Offsite Fabricated Stainless Steel Railing Systems
02:25 PM - 03:25 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.

Designing Water Resilient Buildings
03:25 PM - 04:25 PM
As water scarcity, infrastructure strain, and conservation mandates intensify, architects and design teams are being asked to rethink how buildings source, use, and reuse water. This continuing-education course explores onsite water-recycling strategies that reuse water for non-potable use and greatly reduce potable-water demand.
Participants will gain a practical understanding of onsite wastewater reuse systems (OWRS), including graywater and blackwater treatment approaches. The course examines system components, treatment processes, and spatial planning considerations, with a focus on early design coordination and real-world constructability.
Through case studies and code-informed design guidance, attendees will learn how onsite water-recycling systems can support LEED v5 goals, reduce operational costs, and contribute to water-positive buildings. The course also addresses regulatory considerations, incentives, permitting, and public-health safeguards.
By the end of the program, participants will be equipped to evaluate when onsite water-recycling solutions are appropriate, how they impact building design, and how to specify systems that maximize wastewater reuse while minimizing reliance on fresh water supplies.
