This trend towards “office-hoteling” often includes open ceilings and hard surfaces as the accepted norm. An unintended byproduct of these spaces is reverberation and unwanted noise causing disruption & distractions which may lead to lower productivity and dissatisfaction in the workspace environment\, ultimately costing employers the value of the employee. This presentation will teach the designer fundamental vocabulary and available solutions to address such concerns in the modern workspace. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nLearning to speak sound: As with any emerging discipline\, basic terminology is crucial to understanding the quantifying information and fortunately there are many similarities to the language of light. Attendees will learn the terms and measurements relative to this space in order to understand how to work with this design\nOffice problems can affect the “soundness” of your bottom line: Attendees will examine how disruptions in the office take a toll on productivity & learn strategies for engendering positive experiences in the work place.\nSensibly solving for sound: We will explore some of the current solutions to reduce sound distractions in the modern office environment. Attendees will familiarize themselves with the strength & weaknesses of various tools available and that address this issue.\nAcoustical design – Making sure your design is sound enough to resonate with your client: We will review how layouts can incorporate both lighting & acoustical metrics to ensure a more productive office environment and provide a salutary solution to ambient noise in the workspace. Attendees will learn how to interpret designs to meet the needs of their client.\n\nPRESENTED BY \nMichael Lunn SE Regional Specification Sales Manager \nMichael has been with Cooper for 25 years within the lighting control group.

SUMMARY:Live Webinar - Post Pandemic Design Standards: What is the Future of Commercial Design
DESCRIPTION:AIA Triangle Virtual Lunch \nSponsored by \n \nPost Pandemic Design Standards: What is the Future of Commercial Design? \nThursday\, June 11 | 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm | 1 HSW Credit \nAIA Members & AIAT Annual Sponsors: $0 | Non-members: $20 \nOnline Meeting via Microsoft Teams \nREGISTRATION REQUIRED \n(Deadline to register June 11 at 10:00 am) \nLink to online meeting will be emailed to registrants \nPROGRAM \nThis unprecedented time presents many challenges and it seems a little hard to imagine what the post-pandemic office will look like. No doubt the coronavirus has raised everyone’s level of awareness about the potential for their surroundings to serve as breeding grounds for communicable viruses or disease. The good news is that smart design can decrease the rate of sickness\, alleviate symptoms of illness\, and improve mental functions\, outlook\, and mood. Design and renovations of the modern office where large numbers of people work in close proximity for long periods of time is sure to undergo long-lasting transformation. The industry conditions resulting from COVID-19 have caused us to reevaluate our use of space\, health standards\, and emerging technologies in order to place occupant health at the front and center of our projects. Understanding how new social distancing guidelines can be used in conjunction with technology and design will be more crucial for public health than ever. This presentation will provide an overview of safety measures and systems which can be integrated into your existing buildings and designs to create a safer work environment for building occupants. We will explore some short-term and long-term strategies and solutions including focus on indoor air quality\, advanced air-filtration systems\, addition of biophilic design elements as well as new space-planning protocols. The take away for the attendees is that no one really knows to what extent the current pandemic will revolutionize how we live\, but it seems likely that there will be a long-lasting impact on the way we work and how our workplaces function – the modern office will look very different. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nParticipants will identify the impacts of potential pandemics on commercial design using existing data from the current pandemic\, and determine how these impacts affect their current designs or renovations.\nParticipants will be able to use new social distancing guidelines & safety measures on their projects\, and integrate them with minimal changes to building design.\nParticipants will discuss what factors should be considered when selecting materials and finishes for their project\, and specify the options that will reduce building occupants’ exposure to pathogens.\nParticipants will examine various building systems used to increase the health and safety of building occupants\, and summarize how these systems can be integrated into their existing projects\n\nPRESENTED BY \nKeith Pehl\, P.E. is the President and Founder of Optima Engineering\, PA.

DESCRIPTION:AIA Triangle Virtual Lunch  \nSponsored by \n \nAcoustics\, Technology and Lighting – The Impact of COVID-19 \nTuesday\, June 2 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm | (1 HSW credit) \nONLINE MEETING – REGISTRATION REQUIRED \nDeadline to register is June 2 at 10:00 am \nLink to online meeting will be emailed to registrants on the morning of the program \nAIA Members/AIA Triangle Annual Partners: $0 | Non-members: $20 \nPROGRAM \nThis session will review the impact COVID-19 will have on building design and systems as it relates to acoustics\, technology\, and lighting design. Acoustically\, the workplace will require redesigning. The current high-density hoteling of workers will not be accepted in the future due to social distancing. This will impact office acoustics as well as noise levels within restaurants. \nOver the last 3 months\, the A/E industry has found that most of us can work from a laptop and if we have a high-speed connection\, can work from home. We have been remotely doing that at client meetings and job sites for years. It is the actual production work that is more efficient on larger and multiple monitors that will create the challenge. \nHuddle rooms will be expanded in our designs – how do we make sure we can fit out these spaces for easy collaboration? \nThere will be increased requirements for hands-free gesturing at public touch screens and digital signage. \nFinally lighting – Can UV lighting help sanitize the environments we travel though. \nThis interactive session will address these questions and any others the participants bring up. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nParticipants will explain how designing a building for social distancing can impact speech privacy and speech intelligibility\nParticipants will describe why the finish materials that affect the buildup of sound within a space can reduce speech intelligibility\nParticipants will demonstrate best communications practices while participating in video calls and why the physical design and finishes of the room are so critical\nParticipants will identify the critical design elements of wall and floor/ceiling systems and technology components required for collaboration/huddle/zoom rooms\nParticipants will describe the types of UV light and their impact on pathogens and the human body \n\nPRESENTED BY \n \nSteven J.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn - Serviceablity: The Softer Side of Structural Engineering
DESCRIPTION:AIA Triangle Small Firm Roundtable Lunch & Learn  \nSponsored by \n \nServiceability: The Softer Side of Structural Engineering (1LU) \nOctober 3 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (Lunch begins at 11:30 am) \nCenter for Architecture & Design \n14 E Peace Street | Raleigh  \nAIA Members & AIA Triangle Partners: $0 | Non Members: $30 \nThere is more to Structural Engineering than just adhering to code requirements! Serviceability is the criteria you design for that’s not quite code required but has everything to do with what the building feels like to the user. It also affects the performance of the building with the exterior façade or how it holds up over time. Knowing how to communicate what impact serviceability has on the budget and occupants of the building to the owner is key to a successful project. We’re going to walk you through what the different serviceability components are\, how they impact the design\, and how to communicate these concerns to the owner to make the most informed decisions about the structural system. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nParticipants will be able to identify different serviceability components based on the occupancy of the building to determine what’s applicable to the design.\nParticipants will be able to communicate the different serviceability components to the owner and how they affect the user experience and performance of the building over time.\nParticipants will be able to determine how the serviceability criteria affects the design of the building and how that will affect the budget.\nParticipants will be able to determine what serviceability components to incorporate into the project design based on the project budget\, user experience\, performance of the building\, and feedback from the owner.\n\nPRESENTED BY: \nAnna Lynch\, PE \nAs CEO of Lynch Mykins\, Anna leads with a clear mission\, commitment to hard work and strong dedication to client service excellence. Over the past 14 years\, she has served as a successful project manager and engineer in practically all public- and private-market sectors. \nAnna has always had a creative side\, and she first started developing her interest in art at age 5. The best part of her job is working with clients to create buildings that truly speak to their visions. One of her favorite projects was the polar bear exhibit at the North Carolina Zoo. Everyone she worked with at the zoo was so passionate about helping animals\, and the exhibit offered the unique opportunity to learn more about polar bears and the best possible environment for their wellbeing. \nCollette Ramirez\, PE \nCollette has been helping bring architectural visions to life through structural engineering since 2007. She is passionate about the collaborative process and the thrill of first designing a building on paper\, to then seeing it become part of the built environment. Her diverse portfolio is filled with projects of different sizes and structural systems. Although she loves all of her projects\, she especially enjoys working on student centers because they have so many different structural components and are usually the focal points of a campus. \nWhile not busy working on her projects you can find Collette spending time with her family\, ideally at the beach. She loves learning about new wines while traveling. Her favorite travel destinations are Florence\, Italy and anywhere in the Caribbean.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn - Deaf Architects and Blind Acousticians - Acoustics! A Master Class
DESCRIPTION:AIA Triangle Small Firm Roundtable Lunch & Learn  \nSponsored by \n \nDeaf Architects and Blind Acousticians – Acoustics! A Master Class  \nSeptember 19 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (Lunch begins at 11:30 am) \nCenter for Architecture and Design \n14 E. Peace Street | Raleigh\, NC \n1 CE credit pending approval \nIn our multidimensional world\, why does sound take a second or third seat to vision? We can have both equally!  Building on the book “Deaf Architects and Blind Acousticians” by Robert Apfel\, this course explores how sound stirs the heart and soothes the soul and the impact of not addressing sound in the design of a space.  To help participants better understand the impact of sound over vision in their everyday lives\, we will walk through different scenarios such as sitting in a room with the lights out and listening as your imagination paints a picture in your mind. Then\, think about sitting in the same room with the lights on and your best ear plugs in. With your ears\, you still experience your surrounding environment\, but with just your eyes\, you are limited to only what you see in front of you. Another example would be strolling through the woods where you can see what is ahead and\, in your peripherals\, but having no idea about what or who might be sneaking up behind you. This all ties together the concept that a building can look iconic or even inspirational in photos or on paper\, however\, the human experience can easily be tarnished or enhanced based on the building’s acoustical environment. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nParticipants will differentiate and measure background noise to help gain a better understanding of the impact of sound over vision in everyday lives of individuals\nParticipants will assess and calculate reverberation time to determine if negatively impacts individuals\nParticipants will discover the impact of not addressing sound as part of the design of a space and how it impacts how it affects individuals in the environment\nParticipants will discover how to design based on the understanding of the impact sound has over vision in their everyday lives.\n\nPRESENTED BY \nSteven J. Thorburn\, PE\, LEED\, AP\, CTS-D\, CTS-I \nSteve Thorburn is the founder of Thorburn Associates and has been involved with over 3\,000 different projects. \nHis is active in projects that require both acoustical engineering and technology system design services. His dual degrees from Michigan Technology University in theatre design and electrical engineering enable him to coordinate technical requirements involved in the construction bid process with practical issues required by the end-users. \nHis projects have included performing arts centers\, recording facilities\, entertainment facilities\, presentation and conference facilities\, government and university buildings\, film and video studios\, luxury hotels\, libraries\, churches\, and medical facilities.

The second was Uncle Bill\, a civil engineer on the TV show Family Affair\, who designed bridges all over the world. Now with more than 30 years in the analysis and design of structures\, Dave’s impressive range of experience covers almost every building construction type. \nCollette Ramirez\, PE \nCollette has been helping bring architectural visions to life through structural engineering since 2007. She is passionate about the collaborative process and the thrill of first designing a building on paper\, to then seeing it become part of the built environment. Her diverse portfolio is filled with projects of different sizes and structural systems. Although she loves all of her projects\, she especially enjoys working on student centers because they have so many different structural components and are usually the focal points of a campus. \nWhile not busy working on her projects you can find Collette spending time with her family\, ideally at the beach. She loves learning about new wines while traveling. Her favorite travel destinations are Florence\, Italy and anywhere in the Caribbean.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn - Specifying Treated Engineered Wood Siding
DESCRIPTION:AIA Triangle Small Firm Roundtable \nLunch & Learn Program Sponsored by  \n \nSpecifying Treated Engineered Wood Siding (1HSW) \nJune 20 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (Lunch begins at 11:30 am) \nCenter for Architecture and Design | 14 E Peace Street | Raleigh \n  \nAIA Members & AIA Triangle Annual Partners (Sponsors): $0 \nNon Members: $30 \n  \nPROGRAM \nThis course will provide a survey of the most common siding and trim cladding options for building construction\, including in-depth exploration of treated engineered wood siding. This learning unit will identify the pros and cons of each cladding option and will also explore the environmental impacts of each throughout tits life cycle. In addition\, this course will showcase aesthetic options for many popular design types. Finally\, this session will explore ways in which treated engineered wood siding can contribute to earing points or meeting standards of leading green building certification programs. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nParticipants will discover TEWS and discuss its history\, how it is made\, why it is sustainable\, and how it can help builders/architects obtain LEED points.\nParticipants will understand the flexibility with TEWS and custom solutions that can be created\, including cladding assemblies rated to meet fire codes.\nParticipants will assess multi-family and light commercial construction types for which treated engineered wood siding as well as for residential applications and how TEWS is a cladding option and review the major exterior cladding options available for these applications.\nParticipants will discuss how to achieve aesthetic\, durability and weather requirements using TEWS in multi-family and light commercial construction projects.\n\n  \nPRESENTED BY: \nSharon Roscher \nLP Building Solutions\, Southeast Regional Architectural Manager \nSharon is the Southeast Region Architectural Manager for LP Building Solutions. Sharon has been an active member and corporate partner of various AIA chapters throughout the United States for the past twenty years. She has collaborated closely with commercial and residential architects to better understand the needs of the industry and her eagerness to be a well-informed resource for architects has strengthened her relationships within the industry.
