WATERTIGHT METAL ROOFING by Berridge Manufacturing Co. Maryland Representative Scott Bothe and Texas Staff Architect Ian Gordon, NCARB.

LIGHTING THE OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT by Bruce Dunlop, LC, IES of Crampton/Dunlop Architectural Lighting Services LLC. Learn about the eye at night (sky at night, color, contrast, visibility = quantity + quality, glare; pedestrian-scale lighting (proportion and scale, aesthetics, performance); large area lighting (uniformity, distribution); lighting architecture (expressing form, texture, rhythm and depth; materials and methods; mounting locations; and light levels); and cultural implications (light trespass, sky glow and light pollution, zone method, safety and security, lighting ordinances).
ACOUSTICAL PRIVACY IN THE OFFICE by Massachusetts guest David Sykes of Acentech . Learn about GLBA & HIPAA and the new privacy laws affecting architecture. Since the first of these laws became effective in 2003, consumers have filed thousands of complaints with federal government agencies. One of the top three concerns is “overheard conversations,” prompting healthcare and financial services organizations to seek privacy solutions that can be retrofitted or included in new construction. This session covers the laws, their impact on architects, and proven solutions which can be implemented quickly and inexpensively.
