Unlocking Challenges: Understanding Codes for Doors and Door Hardware in Health Care Environments
Tuesday, September 9, 2025  |  2:00-3:00pm ET Specifically designed for healthcare architects and emerging professionals in healthcare design, this course offers a focused exploration of codes and regulations pertaining to doors and door hardware within healthcare facilities. The course will address the specific requirements for doors and hardware based on their use and occupancy, highlighting the critical need for highly durable, code-compliant, and safe solutions in hospitals. Key discussions will encompass essential aspects such as life safety, security, and long-term performance capabilities, detailing the basic regulatory requirements, various codes, and standards applicable to doors, especially those in a means of egress and their associated hardware. Attendees will gain insights into how door and hardware choices can impact design, learning practical tools for communicating door hardware and function, and discovering potential solutions for compliance to effectively prevent unintended code violations.

Advancing Deep Energy Retrofits: Solutions for Improving Building Efficiency
Thursday, September 11, 2025  |  3:00-4:00pm EST In major cities, existing buildings contribute significantly to overall energy demand and CO2 emissions.  As a result, these cities implement polices and laws aimed at drastically reducing the carbon footprint of their building stock.  Deep energy retrofits are a key strategy for meeting these goals, and we are seeing an increase of such projects in these cities and beyond. However, fire safety cannot be overlooked in these retrofits, especially in older buildings lacking sprinklers. Additionally, modifying the hygrothermal properties of older buildings presents risks that must be carefully managed in both the design and execution of retrofits of any scale. Buildings that have historically been energy-inefficient require special attention and considerations when retrofitting to ensure durability and resilience for the long term.  The last thing we want is to have our newly retrofitted buildings fail or pose safety or health risks to their occupants. This program will explore several case studies of large building retrofits - both interior and exterior approaches - where fire safety and building science were critical factors in the solutions implemented.

Now You Know: Selecting a Perimeter Fire Containment Listing That Is Most Representative of the Project Conditions
Tuesday, September 16, 2025  |  3:00-4:00pm EST Selecting a Perimeter Fire Containment (PFC) design listing that most closely represents project conditions is the first line of defense for minimizing risk of vertical fire spread.  Navigating through hundreds of design listings and choosing the correct system can seem overwhelming. However, understanding how various building materials respond to fire and identifying the design elements needed for successful PFC, designers will be able to confidently select PFC systems that will perform in the event of a fire.

Safety Assessment Program (SAP) Evaluator Training 2025 | September 24-25
September 24-25, 2025  | 12 - 4pm ET  / 9am-1pm PT Intended for licensed architects, engineers, or certified building inspectors, this training certifies attendees as Building Evaluators in the nationally recognized Safety Assessment Program (SAP). To register | Click Add to cart and complete the checkout process. Evaluator Field Manuals |  ATC 45 | ATC 20 | Participants are responsible for purchasing these texts from ATC. They are not included in the course cost. The program is managed by Cal OES with cooperation from professional organizations, including AIA. It utilizes volunteers and mutual aid resources to provide professional engineers, architects and certified building inspectors to assist local governments in safety evaluation of their built environment in an aftermath of a disaster. SAP is the training standard of the AIA Disaster Assistance Program, which provides leadership, advocacy, and training to architects who are interested in volunteering their professional skills in times of crisis. This workshop will teach participants to conduct rapid damage assessments of structures affected by earthquakes, wind, and water. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to consistently and safely assess structures for habitability and will receive a nationally recognized Cal OES registration ID card from the state of California.
