Noise can impact the health and well-being of building occupants\, and acoustic performance is a critical component of overall indoor environmental quality. In addition\, investing in acoustic performance can yield long-term\, measurable financial benefits\, from improved performance and productivity to a better occupant experience. More and more building standards\, \nThis course will introduce some of the standards\, guidelines and rating systems applicable to acoustic performance\, including those specific to educational\, healthcare\, and office spaces. It will also review the four aspects of acoustics referenced in these standards: Absorption\, interior isolation\, mechanical noise\, and exterior isolation. Finally\, we will look at some of the disparities between what the standards recommend and what actually happens in the field. \n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\nDescribe how noise impacts occupant health and well-being in a variety of building types.\nCompare and contrast some of the building standards\, guidelines and rating systems that include acoustics requirements\, along with those that are specific to certain building types.\nDescribe how meeting acoustic standards can translate into financial savings over the course of a building’s life.\nDescribe the four major components of acoustic performance described in most standards\n\n\nDate: October 20\, 2021 \nTime: 12PM-1PM ET \n\nMeet the Speaker\nGary Madaras\, PhD With experience and graduate degrees in Acoustics (Ph.D.)\, Architecture (M.Arch.) and Business (M.B.A.)\, Dr. Madaras brings a broad skillset to any auditory challenge.

Session Two. DESCRIPTION:  \nThroughout the Commonwealth\, in every municipality and legislative district\, we are plagued with blight\, brain drain\, and an erosion of community pride and investment. Simultaneously\, there are an equal number of Pennsylvania’s small towns and cities that have rewritten the narrative\, utilized good design\, collaboration\, and resources to create communities that have flourished with population and business growth. . In these cities and small towns that have experienced such great revitalization\, architects have used their design thinking to work with community leaders and elected officials to bring the dream of a vibrant small town or main street back to life.  Architects throughout the Commonwealth have been crucial to the addition or renovation of any city’s physical or social infrastructure. Join us for case study examples of Pennsylvania cities who leveraged good  design\, community partners\, and urban planning to revitalize and grow their communities. \n\nWhen: October 7th and October 28th \nThe session on October 7th will feature the Pennsylvania cities of: Lancaster\, Bethlehem\, and Easton. \nThe session on October 28th will feature the Pennsylvania cities of Pittston\, Altoona\, and Oil City. \nCost: No Charge\nWhere: Virtual \nWho Should Attend? \nEveryone! Elected officials\, built industry professionals\, developers\, community leaders and anyone who wants to see their small town flourish. \nREGISTER HERE\n\nMeet the October 28th Speakers\n\nKathy Bailey\nOil Region Alliance/Oil City Main Street Program\n \nMichael A. Lombardo.\nMayor of Pittston \nLawrence M.

How do you create a strong structure on budget without sacrificing the design values clients want? \nIn this course\, experts from Oldcastle APG & Echelon Masonry will outline the aesthetic opportunities with masonry materials that not only create a great project but build a safer project. In this session we will contrast the differences and interaction of masonry structural materials during the specification process and gain a working knowledge of masonry specifications and their effect on aesthetic and structural performance of a project. \nWHEN: November 11th at 1:00 pm \nThis course has been approved for 1 AIA LU|HSW \nREGISTER HERE\n\nAPG UNIVERSITY ONLINE\nPresented by Echelon Masonry \nJoin us bi-weekly for AIA-accredited webinars on modern solutions to the most pressing challenges in architecture\, presented by experts from across the industry.
