UNLOCKING SUCCESs: DESIGNING, PLANNING, AND COORDINATING ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS
1.0 LU/HSW for AIA members
Access control systems contribute to the safety of a building and its occupants. But when these systems are not planned from the beginning of the design process, there can be gaps that make it challenging to implement later. This course aims to improve understanding of the components of an access control system and what the design team needs to take into consideration when planning for one. It will also expand upon this foundational knowledge to introduce participants to unique applications for access control systems.
How 5G Will Transform Work
1.0 LU/HSW for AIA members
Technology pundits predict that 5G will be as revolutionary as the printing press, the automobile, and even electricity. With network connections 100 times faster than 4G, 5G will redefine “instant gratification.” This emerging network presents tantalizing, not-so-distant possibilities, like 3-D holographic video conferencing and augmented-reality-enabled health care. Explore what it will take to achieve a full 5G rollout, and how 5G sets the stage to redefine where and how we work.
A/V Integration: Best Practices for Design-Phase Planning and Budgeting
1.0 LU/HSW for AIA members
Audiovisual technology enhances the workplace with ever-better tools for collaboration, public safety, employee engagement, and acoustics. Most commercial facilities will have some level of A/V needs, from simple digital displays in reception areas to complex wireless collaboration systems in training rooms. When should A/V master planning occur? What questions will identify the necessary functionality and a realistic budget?
A/V Integration: Best Practices for Design-Phase Planning and Budgeting part 2
1.0 LU/HSW for AIA members; attendance at A/V Integration Part 1 is required
Today an unprecedented number of organizations rely on audio-visual systems to conduct business and support collaboration in traditional, remote, and hybrid work environments. This course presents an in-depth look at the room-by-room planning and budgeting necessary to achieve optimal A/V integration.
ready to pass this life-safety test? emergency responder radio systems
1.0 LU/HSW for AIA members
Fire code requires all new buildings and major renovations in central Ohio to provide indoor radio coverage for first responders. Failing this mandated test could delay your building's certificate of occupancy. Learn the national, state, and local requirements for Emergency Responder Radio Systems (ERRS), including radio-frequency (RF) testing, design, and installation.
lessons from the field: emergency responder radio systems part 2
1.0 LU/HSW for AIA members; attendance at Emergency Responder Radio Systems Part 1 is required
Lessons learned from ERRS installations by technology integrators and local authorities have prompted revisions in enforcement. This course examines lessons from the field and offers best practices for master planning and implementation.
