First Tuesday Lunch & Learn
When Entrances Can Sabotage Your Design
Course Description
A well-design entrance system meets specific requirements necessary for healthy indoor air and building occupant safety. When configured correctly, entrances protect not only building occupants, but also the interior finishes. The entrance is often an overlooked component of project design and left for facilities personnel to work out after the building is complete and occupied. Safe and sustainable entrance systems serve an important functional purpose, but they can also be attractive when they are an integrated part of the project.
This course will improve your knowledge of entrance products and materials. We will examine the products available, how they differ and when to use them. You will understand how entrance systems improve indoor air quality and when they can contribute to LEED credits. You will learn how to construct entrance systems for different visitor and occupant traffic conditions such as large hospitals, high schools, pharmacies, corporate buildings and more.
