Complete Calendar
NC Rehabilitation CodeThe Rehabilitation Code provides a framework wherein code requirements on renovations of existing structures gradually increase as a project’s scope of work increases. This code is said to be friendlier to small rehab projects, encouraging rather than discouraging the upgrading of buildings. It is also credited with support of affordable housing. It appears to be more flexible on historic buildings, which may be helpful for upfits and renovations in this economic recovery! This program will be held in Durham, NC on June 24 and Charlotte, NC on October 26. Register by June 11 (June class) , and class cost is only $135 for members / $175 for non-members! After June 11, costs will be $160 / $200. Attendees will earn 7 HSW credits for the course. Lunch is provided! Mold and Moisture PreventionWhy are an increasing number of new buildings suffering from mold and moisture problems when we have access to superior quality building components and more sophisticated building technology than ever before? Buildings have changed. And the way we build them has changed. If design professionals want to prevent moisture problems and reduce their liability, up-to-date training in building science is critical. A greater choice of materials, changing construction technologies and more advanced mechanical systems promise higher building performance, but can also result in buildings which are less forgiving of moisture. This intense full-day seminar will be a comprehensive lesson on the physics of moisture and how it interacts with different building designs, assembly types and materials. Participants will understand how to manage moisture through simple techniques and learn how to provide a safety net by designing more forgiving assemblies. Also included in the training will be a discussion on what role mechanical systems play in moisture problems and how properly designed, integrated and commissioned HVAC systems can improve moisture control, comfort, efficiency, and indoor air quality. This seminar will be co-presented by building science and forensics expert Skye Dunning of Building Performance Specialists Inc. in Wilmington and NAHB University of Housing and ACCA instructor Danny Gough of Energy Solutions, Inc. in Winston-Salem. This program will be held in Winston-Salem at the Hawthorne Inn on August5, 2010. Earn 8 HSW credits! Registration will begin at 7:30am, and the course will start at 8am. Lunch will be provided. Register by July 26, and class cost is only $125 for members and $150 for non-members. After July 26, cost will be $175 / member, $200 non-members. Toward Zero Energy HomesPresented by Building Performance Engineering (foremerly Southface North Carolina) This workshop will discuss how to develop energy efficient and renewable energy systems that combine to create zero energy homes. The workshop will also give examples of zero energy homes that have been built in the southeast and will review the positive economics that can result form these homes. We will also review basic renewable energy technology from a designers point of view, focusing on photovoltaic systems. Building Performance Engineering, formerly Southface - North Carolina, has performed hundreds of trainings on high performance construction all across the United States. Register today, and earn 7 SD/ HSW credits! This program will be held in Charlotte, NC on June 1; Asheville, NC on September 15; Wilmington, NC on November 3; and Chapel Hill, NC on November 4. Attedees will earn 7 HSW / SD credits for the course. Lunch is provided! Sustainable Site DesignAlong with the environmental impacts of building materials, components and mechanical systems, sustainable design includes the ecological impact of site development. Yet site design often reverts to status quo because of a lack of understanding of the available technology and the absence of a team approach. This seminar will immerse participants in an interdisciplinary analysis of sustainable site design strategies. The presentation will focus on overall whole-building, whole-site design concepts that will lead to cost-effective solutions. It will highlight sustainable site technologies that integrate science and design. Stormwater management will be discussed, showing how infiltration-based Best Management Practices (BMPs) can be employed as part of a Low Impact Development (LID) strategy. The presenters will combine their design and scientific expertise to integrate the creation of sustainable architecture, landscaping, and stormwater control systems. The seminar will be presented by architect Mike Nicklas, FAIA of Innovative Design, Inc., a Raleigh firm known for environmentally sensitive architecture for more than 33 years; nationally recognized landscape architect and environmental and soil scientist Barrett Kays, Ph.D., FASLA; and Jon Hathaway of NC State University Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering.
This program will be held in Greenville on September 30: and Salisbury on October 14.
