Public Furniture & Sustainable Materials |
|
In this CEU we provide designers with current data as it relates to materials and their characteristics, limitations, and the degree to which they are sustainable. Simply put, this CEU is to help designers specify the appropriate materials and recognize how those choices relate to sustaining natural global resources. We look at 7 basic factors for specifying public furniture. We look at the 4 top categories of materials used in public furniture – wood, metal, concrete, and wood alternatives. We look at each material through pros & cons. Finally, we look at greater sustainable issues of lifecycle, recycle, and upcycle as they relate to sustainable public furniture.

Better design through a deeper understanding of acoustic ratings |
|
This course covers two widely used acoustic metrics, the STC and IIC ratings. Although these ratings are required by building codes and frequently used, they are still often poorly understood and there are many myths and misconceptions around their use. This course looks “under the hood” of the STC and IIC ratings to get a better understanding of what they are, how they work, and what they do and don’t tell us. Importantly, this course covers shortcomings of the STC and IIC ratings that if not understood can lead to poor designs for noise control. In that vein, this course also looks at two new acoustic ratings, HIIC and LIIC, that provide a better insight into the impact-noise reduction provided by floor/ceiling assemblies. Finally, the course uses the knowledge gained about ratings to discuss general methods of improving the acoustic performance of floor/ceiling assemblies.

A More Transparent Shade of Green: EPDs Drive Restrooms to the Lead in Green Design |
|
Construction is going green. As both sustainability and efficiency advance in the built environment, architects, specifiers, and buyers are increasingly concerned with purchasing products that are environmentally friendly and can achieve project performance and client welfare goals. Architects and designers are, in essence, visionaries. This course explores options that architects and designers have when choosing products that accurately support and fuel their passion for possibilities while maintaining the health, safety, and welfare of clients. Definitions of environmental product declarations (EPDs), product category rules (PCRs), and life-cycle assessments (LCAs) are discussed, and various case studies are examined.

Heat Recovery Ventilation: Why Efficiency Matters |
|
In the last couple of decades, houses have become progressively air tight due to energy efficiency and cost concerns. While air infiltration and ex-filtration rates have been significantly reduced, the need for an efficient ventilation system has become extremely important. The course evaluates different types of mechanical ventilation systems and discusses why heat recovery ventilation (HRV) and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) systems are characterized by a high level of energy efficiency and as an effective means for improving indoor air quality.
