Light-manipulating materials use internal channels to capture, bend, scatter, and redirect light and create visually stunning spaces. Panels and slabs in resin, glass, and terrazzo make an experiential surface for privacy screens or signage, primary or accent lighting, and countertops or flooring—anywhere the interplay of light and shadow is desired for beauty and inspiration. This course describes the different types of light-manipulating materials and substrates, design and installation options, and the contributions of these products to sustainability goals as well as occupant health, well-being, and engagement in a wide range of dynamic, unique applications.

As third-party firestop inspections become more common—and are required by the International Building Code (IBC) for specific building types—construction professionals must understand what inspectors are looking for and how to prepare. This one-hour course explains the purpose and process of firestop special inspections, detailing how UL systems, tested assemblies, and ASTM field standards (E2174 and E2393) are used to verify compliance. Participants will learn how inspectors document findings, common issues that lead to deficiencies, and how proactive coordination and accurate submittals can prevent costly rework. The session also covers International Firestop Council (IFC) guidance for maintaining consistency and quality across inspection programs, helping attendees ensure that passive fire protection systems perform as designed.

Traditional door openings demand meticulous coordination among the various specifiers, subcontractors, suppliers, and installers to ensure code compliance and reliable performance—yet even with this level of scrutiny, doors often lead to over 20% of the total project ‘issues’ while only accounting for 1%-2% of the project cost. In course, you'll discover how Integrated Door Opening Assemblies offer a holistic, system-based solution that streamlines compliance, minimizes on-site errors, and delivers benefits far beyond enhanced aesthetics. Geared toward architects, specifiers, and designers, this session provides practical strategies to transform your approach, reduce risk, and ultimately achieve more efficient, superior design outcomes.

The most important assets in any organization are the people within. When a client decides to invest in physical security, like bullet-resistant barriers, it is the responsibility of AEC community professionals to understand what protection level is appropriate for the building depending upon the surroundings, the industry, and the client’s specific needs and provide a blueprint that includes the desired features while maximizing the building owner’s investment and protecting future occupants.

One of the most important concepts behind biophilia is the “urge to affiliate with other forms of life,” (E.O. Wilson). Humans are connected to nature, inspired in nature, and desire to be harmonized with nature. This course discusses the main principles of biophilic design and explains how a connection with nature benefits human well-being, increases classroom performance, and reduces stress. Multiple case studies demonstrating the positive benefits of daylight and views on building occupants are discussed and applications of biophilic design are examined.

In basic roofing design vapor retarders and air barriers play a crucial role in reducing air leakage and enhancing roof system performance. However, their benefits extend beyond simple air sealing. This course explores the impact of new innovative technology: permeable vapor retarders and air barriers on moisture management, energy efficiency, and wind uplift resistance in low-slope roofing assemblies. Attendees will gain insights into moisture infiltration, air movement, and the risks associated with condensation buildup, material degradation, and loss of R-value in the roofing assembly. The presentation will cover strategies for proper design and placement of a permeable vapor retarder to mitigate condensation buildup and premature roof failures. Recent research findings will highlight how advanced moisture control solutions, such as permeable vapor retarders, enhance long-term roof resiliency and durability, lowering total cost of ownership.
