This webinar will examine what we know about this ubiquitous, ever-present radioactive gas and the danger that it represents to the health of occupants and what can be done to lower our increasing risk.
This webinar will cover the fundamentals and basic principles of sound and design considerations for controlling sound moving from exterior to interior spaces.
Even the best prepared construction documents may not be followed exactly, while contractors are executing the work of a project. Almost no projects are built exactly as designed. There are too many people involved, too much time elapses in the course of a project, in which people have time to consider past decisions, and there are too many actually good reasons to make changes to the work. When inevitable changes happen in the construction of the project, the terms of the contract for the work will also change.

In this course, we will examine what we do know about this ubiquitous, ever-present, radioactive gas, why more and more, it tends to accumulate in our buildings, the danger that represents to the health of occupants and what exactly can be done to lower our increasing risk.
The prospect of people being injured may be more worrisome than financial loss. This course will examine a subject architects cannot afford to neglect.
It is the intent of this webinar, in the limited time, to bring clarity to many of the terms and concepts involved with the aspirations of Net Zero. This will provide design professional with an understanding of the terms, concepts and actions that are needed to do their part.
Sustainability is defined by one source as “the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level.” It is described elsewhere as “meeting current needs, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs, in the environment we will leave them.”
Part 1 will begin with general design criteria and standards. The subsequent discussion will include what traditional timber framing is and what it is not, effects of seasoning checks and moisture content, and guidelines for effective timber framing design.
