A comprehensive understanding of how destruction initiates and intensifies serves as the driving force behind established design principles and material choices intended to halt that undesirable migration.
Renovations Needed Due to Aging
Approval Number: 9879234
Four Hours
This class addresses the issues that elders face when experiencing physical and/or mental decline. Some may find it increasingly difficult to continue using their own homes. Thanks to extensive research on accessible environments for those with disabilities, we can build new buildings that are far more accommodating for the elderly. Even in existing homes, modifications can be made gradually and as needed, just not as easily or efficiently as starting from a blank slate.
A Firm Foundation
Approval Number: 9879170
Two Hours
Designing foundations involves several important aspects. A thorough examination is conducted to understand how water can potentially harm the structure. Specific foundation options are carefully chosen, taking various factors into consideration. Framing components responsible for supporting the floor are determined. Strategies are put in place to effectively manage vapor drive. Insulation materials are selected to create a barrier against different climates because the subflooring acts as the primary barrier between the inside atmosphere and any space beneath it. Lastly, underlayment and finish flooring options are decided upon for the uppermost layer.
Considerations in Railing Design
Approval Number: 9879230
Three Hours
This class will explore materials and techniques employed to create protective barriers that prevent deadly falls. It examines the regulations governing the effectiveness of railings because safety is the foremost reason behind those regulations. The diverse aesthetic possibilities made possible with the integration of technology are included. Hurdles encountered by design firms when selecting, designing, and specifying these crucial architectural elements will be addressed.
Construction Conflict Resolution
Approval Number: 9879233
One Hour
Construction Conflict Resolution addresses the disagreements that are bound to arise whenever substantial amounts of money are involved. The number of and severity of conflicts during a construction project can be reduced by implementing preventive measures and carefully attending to details and procedures. Such precautions can assist the architect in effectively managing and resolving issues.
Dealing with the Danger of Mold
Approval Number: 9879231
Three Hours
Dealing with the Danger of Mold provides a concise analysis of the design and construction techniques used in creating systems that can withstand water penetration. Gaining an understanding of these systems allows us to identify potential sources of intrusion and determine the most effective approach to repairing them and minimizing further harm. The primary remedial action is to seal any compromised envelope as a first step. Failure to do so will inevitably result in the development of mold, ultimately rendering our afflicted buildings unfit for habitation.
Diverting Radon
Approval Number: 9879229
Two Hours
Radon is invisible, odorless, tasteless, capable of being dissolved in water, and can pose significant dangers. Radon usually remains unnoticed. No one can develop immunity to radon. Investigate this abundant and constantly present gas that possesses radioactivity. Delve into the reasons behind its increasing accumulation within our structures, the significant health hazards it poses to occupants, and most importantly, the precise measures we can undertake to mitigate escalating risks associated with it.
