    Acoustical design requirements are frequently based on laboratory test data. Walls constructed in a lab for testing are built under ideal conditions and with high levels of precision. These walls also do not have any of the attachments or penetrations that are ubiquitous in real-world construction. Selecting a tested wall design that meets an STC requirement is not enough to provide adequate sound isolation in the real-world. To achieve good sound isolation it is imperative that designers understand how to treat the myriad of details that can compromise a wall's performance. These include: electrical boxes, hanging cabinets, window mullions, control joints, intersections, and more. In this presentation we: discuss why a detail is important for noise control, provide the acoustical impact of poor detailing based on test data (when available), and provide acoustical best practices for the details

    Steel transfers heat amazingly fast – up to 300 times faster than wood studs and reduces the effective R-value of metal stud wall designs by 40–60%. The ASHRAE prescriptive continuous insulation requirements for steel-framed, above-grade walls recognize this phenomenon, and in most climate zones, call for a layer of continuous insulation (ci) to be added to the assembly to help stop the steel thermal shorts that can decrease the energy efficiency of the wall system. To meet continuous insulation code requirements it is critical to also account for condensation within the wall assembly. Even if a wall is adequately designed to prevent liquid water from entering the assembly, condensation can still occur as a result of the interior and exterior temperatures as well as relative humidity.

    Firestopping Engineering Judgements, or “EJs” as they are commonly referred to as, show up on construction projects often when field conditions differ from the original intended design. These unanticipated construction hindrances encountered in the field often cannot be easily or cost-effectively redesigned, so firestop manufacturer recommendations are typically made to propose alternative designs to ensure performance of the firestop system is not compromised. While EJs may be unavoidable at times, upfront planning during preconstruction meetings and coordination between the trades can minimize the number of EJs required. Still, firestop manufacturers are called upon to issue tens of thousands of EJs per year to address non-standard construction. Since these recommendations are not based upon identical designs as tested, they must be developed using sound engineering principles and good judgment. This course is intended to identify the critical elements needed for architect, specifiers, construction industry professionals, building officials, fire officials, firestop contractors and other stakeholders to obtain EJs when necessary, providing guidelines and resources for doing so.

    According to the IBC, “…Construction documents shall be of sufficient clarity to indicate the location, nature and extent of the work proposed and show in detail that it will conform to the provisions of this code…as determined by the building official.” Failure to properly to do so can jeopardize life safety and property and result in serious liability. This course is intended to provide architects and specifiers of firestop products and systems with the information and resources they need to meet the intent of the code. Being aware of the requirements for proper firestop specifications and drawings during the design phase cannot be overstated. Fully understanding the unique challenges of proper specification are critical to avoid costly changes, delays, and liability downstream.

    Natural disasters often disable healthcare facilities at the precise time their services are needed the most, posing a major threat to healthcare providers and the surrounding community. Research shows that system failures directly affect financial outcomes, costing hospitals between $600,000 to $2 billion per incident, and negatively impact patient care. In the face of a rapidly changing climate that continues to amplify these threats, there’s only one solution: build and design for the future. When Baptist Health Care built their new medical campus in Pensacola, Florida, they asked the Gresham Smith design team to put resiliency at the forefront of the project. The team conducted a comprehensive Climate Risk Assessment that examined rainfall projections 50 to 100 years into the future. Following the risk assessment and an in-depth flood analysis of the site, the team responded with a resilient and sustainable design solution that features: · A building elevation that can accommodate 100-year flood levels; · A structure and envelope that can withstand 170 MPH, three-second wind gusts; · 96 hours of emergency power and 4 days of off-grid operational capacity; · N+1 capacity for mechanical systems to eliminate service disruption; · Stormwater support for cooling towers and irrigation systems; · Ceramic frit and vertical fins to reduce cooling load; · And Type 1L cement that reduces embodied carbon by 13%. During this presentation, members of the Gresham Smith team will share this case study to discuss how healthcare facilities can plan for the future using climate-resilient and sustainable design strategies.
