Description
This webinar will feature a brief introduction to FGI and the feature highlights and updates to the FGI 2022 Edition. The Facility Guidelines Institute is an independent 501 c3 not for profit organization that promotes consensus-based guidelines and publications, advised by research, to advance quality health care design. FGI produces three distinct volumes for the planning, design, and construction for 1) Hospitals 2) Outpatient Facilities and 3) Residential Health Care and Support Facilities. There is a regular review and revision cycle every four years, where consensus methodology is used to produce improved future editions of the Guidelines. FGI 2022, is the latest in the 75-year history of the Guidelines and is an update from the 2018 edition. The 2022 edition of the Guidelines has been updated with a few topics that note the evolving role of FGI in promoting patient centered care, building resiliency during community emergencies, the impact that design can have on palliative and end of life care, flexibility to reduce overcrowding in Emergency Departments, and new design guidelines for behavioral and mental health crisis units. As the needs of planning, design and construction for healthcare facilities evolves, FGI responds with updated editions of the Guidelines.
This session was recorded live on November 8, 2022.

Implementing the 2012 IECC for Commercial Construction
The 2012 edition of the International Energy Conservation Code has been adopted by AHJs in many parts of the country. The 2012 IECC is a quantum leap forward in building performance and will have a significant impact on how architects and engineers work together to design high energy efficient, high performance buildings.
In this course, speakers illustrate the changes in the code affecting architecture design and give an in depth look into the building science and physics behind the the changes and how they will result in significant energy reductions. They will emphasize that the process to achieve compliance must be a team effort among all members of the project early on and describe how to demonstrate compliance with the code and advantages and disadvantages for each pathway.
This course is presented in collaboration with AIA Middle Tennessee, which produced the course and provided it for delivery on AIAU.
