Water is the foundation of life and the most consumed beverage in every foodservice and hospitality environment. This course explores the science behind water—its chemistry, taste, and filtration—alongside the strategic role hydration programs play in advancing wellness and sustainability goals. Attendees will learn how mineral balance and contaminants impact flavor and health, why filtration technologies matter, microplastic awareness, and how refill culture and certifications (WELL, LEED, ESG) shape modern hydration strategies. Attendees learn how to collaborate earlier with MEP and foodservice teams, evaluate filtration and certification pathways, and integrate connected service models that minimize downtime.

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.

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.

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.
