Mastering Daylight

to take this course

This course discusses the benefits of a thoughtfully-designed light control system and how to make it work for your project’s daylighting and design needs. The discussion emphasizes implementing best-practice methods and specification of daylighting canopy and sun shade systems to create unique and aesthetically-pleasing architectural building enhancements. The result will be a full-scope view on successfully repurposing natural light for greater environmental, human health, and aesthetic function.

 

In this one hour course, the design professional will learn about various materials that lockers are composed of as well as options to consider when designing a locker configuration, including the assorted features that lockers offer. The participant will explore the specific components of the HDPE lockers and analyze various industry applications in order to understand how HDPE lockers are able to offer clean, durable, flexible design options that meet a variety of needs. We will discuss how HDPE physical attributes, composition, and sustainability contributes to the design and construction of any sustainable project and ultimately have a positive effect on both people and property. In closing, the role of responsible manufacturing in a product’s life cycle assessment as well as which LEED v4 credits can apply to building projects will be examined to make participants more aware of how design choices do have an impact on occupants and their environment.

When designing a restroom or other space, professionals are often faced with the challenge of selecting materials that function, appeal to the senses, and contribute to green building initiatives. In this course, we will explore various material options available to the design professional as well as provide practical solutions that designers may want to consider when specifying a product that can offer sustainability, durability, and even promote a healthier environment for people. Additionally, the design professional will learn more about HDPE, including its attributes, composition, design options, and sustainable contributions. We’ll also review why product transparency and responsible manufacturing are important considerations when specifying a sustainable product that is able to reduce energy consumption, recycle waste materials, and offer other benefits to the environment and its occupants.

Every room in a building should be good for the environment—starting with the restroom! Join us in this one-hour course as we discuss practical ways to incorporate green building strategies in commercial restrooms. Participants will not only learn about the six principles of sustainable design but also gain up-to-date information about green building initiatives like LEED v4.1, WELL v2, and LBC that they can integrate into a variety of commercial restroom applications.

Sustainable Materials in Restrooms, Locker Rooms and Other Applications - Update

to take this course

Through a review of partition materials, this course will first introduce the varied options available for restrooms, locker rooms and other applications. We will then take a closer look at HDPE, it’s physical attributes, composition, design options and sustainable contributions to the design and construction of any project including the incorporation of recycled content, indoor air quality and life cycle assessment.

 

Now more than ever, public restrooms must be clean and comfortable for all users. However, exactly what that looks like has been up for debate. Join us in this one-hour course as we make the case for multi-stall public restrooms that address users’ concerns of privacy and hygiene through partitions, fixtures, hand dryers, and beyond. Participants will learn how to design new and existing restrooms that help projects fulfill WELL Building Standard v.2 requirements by promoting public health and safety.

Integrative Process and Whole Canopy System Solution Design - Update

to take this course

Canopy systems are sometimes one of those building elements that get taken for granted or overlooked, despite the important role they play in providing coverage, shading and reduced heat gain to a building. The integration of these systems with other exterior building systems also often ends up becoming an afterthought, leaving room for potential errors and less-than-ideal scenarios.

In this program we’ll discuss the importance of early consideration and integration of your canopy system in the design process while exploring the various benefits whole canopy solutions provide.
