Course Description

This presentation provides an introduction to permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) systems. An overview of the problem with impervious surfaces and the advantages of Low Impact Development, specifically stormwater infiltration practices through pavement surfaces. The presentation addresses designing for hydrological and structural requirements, and reviews required details. The design approach discussed is based on the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute’s PICP design manual. Specifications and maintenance requirements are reviewed along with information on winter performance. Several project case studies illustrate the construction process.

Learning Objectives

• How permeable interlocking concrete pavement can provide stormwater management benefits to land development projects.

• Proper specifications for construction of PICP systems.

• Industry recommendations for maintenance of PICP systems.

• How to identify industry resources for specifying and designing PICP systems.

• Different porous pavement options and the advantages of each.

EARN 1 HSW/CEU WITH SARA | FL x Dyson

Course Description

This course will introduce the reader to air knife hand dryers and their main features and discuss how the technical components of these dryers, such as HEPA filtration, touch-free operation, and fast dry times, contribute to their hygienic performance. This course will also discuss how air knife dryers contribute to overall sustainability by reducing energy usage, carbon emissions, operational costs, and resource use, and how to select dryers with sustainability in mind. Included will be a discussion of relevant standards and certifications and how specification of hand dryers can contribute to LEED points and other green building programs. Finally, this course will address common misperceptions about air knife hand dryers and compare their performance and sustainability with paper towels.

Learning Objectives

Learning Objective 1:

Explain how air knife hand dryers can reduce energy, carbon emissions, cost, and resource use.

Learning Objective 2

State some of the common misperceptions surrounding the use of commercial hand dryers and the differences in energy consumption and waste reduction amongst hand drying solutions.

Learning Objective 3

Describe how the technological components of hand dryers reduce waste, energy use, and improve their hygiene performance.

Learning Objective 4

List the sustainability advantages of air knife hand dryers over paper towels and how waste reduction can conserve natural resources.

Learning Objective 5

Discuss safety guidelines for reopening restrooms in existing commercial spaces and protocols to follow for new builds; while earning multiple credit categories in green building programs such as WELL v2 and LEED® v4.1, BD+C, ID+C, and O+M.

More than just an R-value – Acoustics

Stone wool is often specified for its superior properties such as energy efficiency, sustainability, fire protection. This course will identify what stone wool insulation is and discuss some introductory terminology and concepts as they relate to sound and acoustics in the building envelope. We will examine current codes and standards for acoustics and finally, we will discuss some techniques and considerations that can be made when design systems for the interior and exterior of the building envelope.

Learning Objectives

• ​Understand common terminology and concepts as they relate to acoustics.

• Understand principles for designing high performance acoustic assemblies as well as leave with some example combinations of materials for both walls and roofs designed specifically for acoustics

• Examine the acoustical benefits of stone wool versus other insulation materials in roofing and wall applications.

• Discuss the acoustic codes and standards that are currently in place in the USA with specificity on occupant comfort in commercial buildings​
