Acoustic Design in the K-12 Environment

Credits: 1 AIA LU/Elective; 1 AIBD P-CE; 0.1 IACET CEU

When Arlington Elementary School, in Tacoma, WA, undertook a redesign the approach was to create an open-program school, a rethink of traditional elementary school design. The approach stresses an abundance of natural light and impactful color options, as well as acoustic design that enhances the learning environment.

Solar Facades: Understanding Building Integrated Photovoltaics and Pressure-Equalized Rainscreens

Credits: 1 AIA LU/HSW; 1 AIBD P-CE; 0.1 IACET CEU
May qualify for learning hours through most Canadian architectural associations

This presentation will offer a basic overview of rainscreen technologies being used to incorporate BIPV into even the most discriminating design demands. We will discuss the important role onsite power generation can play in creating positive environmental impacts, contributing to LEED certification goals, and positively impacting costs associated with energy use.

A Hybrid Approach: Combining Mass Timber with Steel and Concrete

Credits: 1 AIA LU/HSW; 1 AIBD P-CE; 0.1 IACET CEU
May qualify for learning hours through most Canadian architectural associations

With increasing frequency, design teams are turning to mass timber for its environmental attributes and natural warmth, as well as to speed construction. Sometimes, however, a hybrid structural solution might be a better fit, depending on local regulations, performance requirements, or architectural ambitions.
