AIA Continuing Education

The most important consideration in presenting AIA courses is to provide educational information. All of the seminars are carefully scripted to ensure that education, not sales, is the focus. Therefore, we must follow the course material exactly as it is presented and abide by these AIA criteria: CES (Continuing education series) Criteria Each learning unit must be 60 minutes minimum of quality education. Provide participants with a general list of the components of the program. Describe the method of delivery and format of the presentation Advise the participants that we will present the information in a generic manner in which it is scripted, and will not address questions related to specific products or services until the credit portion of the presentation is concluded.

Tall Wall Applications

Lunch

Time: 30 Minutes Learning Units: Non Accredited Agenda We will look at what code says about designing walls over 10 feet. We will also define the differences between building walls full height (Balloon framing) and stacking walls (Platform Framing) to get a tall wall. We will see how windows and finishes play into the equation, and what types of framing details accomplish the structural and finish needs.

Evaluating Floor Performance

Lunch

Course Number: BLS 200 Time: 1 Hour Learning Units: 1.0 Including 1 credit of HSW Agenda: Design with software to meet customer expectations of floor performance. In this seminar we will be looking at the differences between what has been done in the past using conventional code (Static) approach, and contrast it with how customers judge our design...dynamics. What we want to impress here is that customers walk or jump on floors to gage how a floor feels. Customers are point loads, and walking and jumping creates a dynamic response to the floor. Traditional static design methods do not address these key points. Traditional methods gage the performance of the floor based on uniform, non moving loads. Page 4

Jobsite Safety
Lunch

Time: 90 Minutes Learning Units: Non Accredited Agenda Construction sites are hazardous environments where heavy equipment manipulates heavy materials. In this seminar we will create awareness of some of the more common dangers and hazards encountered on construction sites. We will foster and promote Safe Behavior, and expand on Weyerhaeusers safety focused culture to the construction sites. A focus on safety behavior can prevent many common injuries and accidents.
