Compression-seal technology for windows and doors - AIA CES course REH0853G
Credit:
1 AIA HSW/LU CE
This course explains the benefits of compression-seal technology for high-performance window and door systems, including definitions, how it works, and performance benefits.
Learning Objectives:
- State the definition of compression-seal technology as applied to high-performance window and door systems
- Explain how a compression seal works
- List the product configurations using compression-seal technology
- Explain the performance benefits of compression-seal technology for windows and doors
- Recognize the best applications of compression-seal technology
Achieving sound abatement through high-performance window and door solutions - AIA CES REH0853F
Credit:
1 AIA HSW/LU CE
This course provides a fundamental understanding of acoustical performance of window and door solutions in residential and commercial construction, and how to achieve sound abatement through high-performance window and door solutions.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand and describe sound transmissions experienced in today’s living environment
- Discuss regulatory requirements for noise and sound abatement
- List relevant ASTM test standards, describe differences between Sound Transmission Class (STC) and Outdoor Indoor Transmission Class (OITC) and relate how to interpret test reports for windows and doors – a.k.a. Understanding Sound Abatement Testing
- Explain how to determine a required sound abatement level for fenestration products
- Match windows and doors with wall performance for effective sound abatement
- Describe fenestration solutions for sound abatement
- Experience different sound reduction measures in a room, when different sound sources are on the outside of the building
The Unique benefits of uPVC windows in multifamily housing construction - AIA CES course REH0853H
Credit:
1 AIA HSW/LU CE
This course will explore the use of uPVC windows and doors in multifamily housing and will discuss market forces driving demand as well as the environmental, economic, and functional impacts of integrating uPVC windows and doors. This learning unit will also provide guidelines for helping architects select uPVC window profiles that best meet a project’s performance, aesthetic, and budgetary criteria.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the market forces driving multifamily housing construction
- Describe the evolution and implementation of uPVC in residential and light-commercial construction
- Contrast the benefits of uPVC to aluminum windows and doors
- Explain uPVC window and door selection criteria for multifamily residential projects
uPVC vs Aluminum windows and doors: A comparison of modern fenestration solutions for commercial applications - REH0853I
Credit:
1 AIA HSW/LU CE
This course will make a direct comparison of aluminum fenestration products to newer uPVC products, showing the drawbacks and benefits. By end of the course, students should be acutely aware of the better construction, performance and health benefits of specifying uPVC windows and doors in lieu of aluminum products.
Learning Objectives:
- State the differences in construction of the aluminum vs uPVC windows and doors in a general sense
- Define the drawbacks of aluminum fenestration products
- Dispel the common misconceptions and misinformation associated with uPVC fenestration products
- Explain the performance benefits of compression-seal technology for windows and doors
- Understand the various operating styles of uPVC windows and which offer the best performance characteristics
- Understand the potential LEED qualifications of uPVC fenestration products in their designs
