CSI Building Knowledge, Improving Project Delivery

APRIL MONTHLY MEETING Evidence-based Design: What it is and How it Can Revolutionize the Design of Health Care Facilities and Beyond Evidence-based Design (EBD) has received a lot of press in recent times. It is based on the fundamental premise of making design decisions based on the best available evidence, and committing to measuring how our designs can improve outcomes. In this presentation, we will discuss the history of Evidencebased Design, some of the key research findings in the past couple of decades that link design decisions to improved healthcare outcomes, and insights on how research can be integrated into design. Although primarily focused on healthcare in this presentation, we will also discuss how EBD is a relevant concept to other market sectors - in particular education, workplace and science+technology.

The 4 educational objectives to be covered in the presentation: 1. Learn about what is EBD 2. Discuss key findings from EBD that have changed healthcare design 3. Discuss how EBD applies to other market sectors 4. Share tools and methods to be more evidence-based in practice

CODE CORNER Above –Grade Exterior Walls: Do You Really Need “Waterproofing?”

By: Ronald L. Geren, AIA, CSI, CCS, CCCA, SCIP

Waterproofing, it commonly appears in keynotes on wall sections and details. This is fine if the keynotes are pointing to waterproofing applications on a below grade exterior wall, underneath an above-grade plaza deck system or under ceramic tile in a shower pan assembly. The problem is the frequent identification of “waterproofing” behind exterior wall coverings for walls above grade. You are probably aware that the building code requires protection from water behind exterior wall coverings. That is true; however, the issue here is to what level does that protection need to be?

The intent of this article isn’t to dissuade anyone from using waterproofing for above-grade exterior wall assemblies, but to point out that you may be spending excess money for a system that provides no additional benefit over less-expensive products available on the market. In addition to increased cost, the inclusion of a waterproofing system in an above-grade exterior wall assembly may also create consequential problems.

SHELDON WOLFE How Did We Get Here? Chapters In the last article, "How did we get here?

Membership", we looked at a graph showing CSI's membership curve. I'm using the same graph this time, with a second curve to show the number of chapters. As was the case last month, it was hard to find accurate information, but the overall curve is close to what it would be if I did have all of the correct dates. For sources, I used charter dates that were given to the Bylaws Amendment Review Task Team, responses to an inquiry I sent to all chapters, Walter Damuck's history of the Institute, and 50th anniversary notices that appeared in various CSI publications. Along the way, eleven chapters were lost, a few by merger, and others because they fell below the minimum number of members required to keep their charters.

As noted in the last article, I relied on reports or other confirmed information to plot the membership curve. I also said that I remembered hearing that membership peaked at near 19,000, but had no verification. Even so, a few members were concerned that I didn't report that number, so I added it. Assuming the number is correct, it shows a drop of about 1,000 members from 1989 to 1995, followed by a recovery of about half that amount by 2001.

What happened? The graphs I've looked at don't appear to indicate an economic upturn that would have supported a growth in membership.

One of the questions asked on the LinkedIn discussion was, "How have things changed?" I won't attempt to answer that question, but here is an analysis I made in 2001. The way I summarized groups may appear somewhat arbitrary, but without firm rules to guide members in completing the membership application, the information cannot be precise.

When I joined CSI, I was an architect, working for the first time as a specifier, for the University of Minnesota. I had invested a lot of time in getting my license, so I checked "Architect" rather than "Specifier or Specifications Consultant" or "Owner". There were, and still are, many such options.

I'll leave it to my gentle readers to get the current membership data and summarize what has changed. Send your analysis to me, and I'll use it in a future article, with accreditation, of course!

PAINTING IS A QUICK WAY TO BEAUTIFY YOUR BATHROOM Originally published by Paint Quality Institute Submitted by Tim Garver, CSI, CDT, LEED AP, Dunn Edwards

Recent surveys show that the bathroom has overtaken the kitchen as the most frequently remodeled part of the home. But, unless your plumbing is wanting or your tile is intolerable, you can often beautify the bath simply by painting it.

In a lot a cases, people remodel the bath not for functional reasons, but just to change and enhance the appearance. If that’s the goal, it can almost always be achieved with an attractive paint treatment.

Fresh paint can enhance any room, but it can work wonders in the bathroom. Applying a light-colored paint scheme can "open up" the room and make it seem more spacious. Darker paint colors do just the opposite: add intimacy.

Aside from lightness or darkness, there are psychological considerations when choosing a paint color for the bathroom.

Tints and tones of yellow, orange and red, including some browns and tans, are "warm" colors, which tend to arouse and stimulate -- helpful in the morning, but not at bedtime. Conversely, "cool" colors, especially greens and blues, are calm and relaxing, creating a peaceful spa-like ambience for a bath.

Warm and cool paint colors can also affect our perception of room temperature. Since we associate yellow and orange with the sun, we may "feel" warmer when surrounded by these hues, whereas a blue or green space can seem cooler. As a result, warm colors are often favored in colder climes, and cool colors in the Sunbelt.

However, color isn’t the only thing to consider when painting a bathroom. The typical bathroom is exposed to water, high humidity, and significant wear and tear. For that reason, it’s important to select paint that produces a finish tough enough to stand up to these conditions.

Until recently, that meant applying a coat of latex primer, followed by two or even more coats of top quality 100% acrylic latex paint. But today, there’s a quicker and easier way to complete your bathroom painting by using new "paint and primer" products.

Paint and primer products – also known as self-priming paints – are coatings with a dual personality. Like primer, they conceal the existing paint color, as well as many marks; like paint, they form a tough, colorful finish that is stain-resistant and washable.

Rather than taking the traditional approach by applying successive coats of primer, paint, and paint, you can usually complete a painting project with just two coats of a paint and primer product, thereby eliminating an entire application, saving lots of time and effort in the process.

To get the best result when painting a demanding area like the bathroom, it’s wise to choose a paint and primer product that will produce a semi-gloss or high gloss finish. The higher the sheen, the easier it will be to remove any marks or stains that may show up on the painted surface.

It’s also very important to choose a paint and primer product made with 100% acrylic, the same tough binder used in the highest quality traditional paints.

Paint and primer made with100% acrylic offers the best hiding and forms the most durable painted surface. These are especially important characteristics when doing bathroom painting.

If you want to give your bathroom an entirely new appearance this year, maybe all you really need is a colorful new paint treatment. It’s a quick and easy way to enhance and beautify one of the most important rooms in your home.

At the end of the seminar participants should be able to explain the need for balanced acoustical design by segment, describe the fundamental properties of sound, define basic acoustical terms and concepts, interpret how different material selections influence the acoustic environment in an effort to make informed product specification choices while developing an understanding and appreciation for the value a balanced acoustical environment APRIL 16 Masonite Architectural Door Systems, Ray Fox, 425-785-8736 1 AIA LU

“Concrete – Cradle to Completion” We tend to look at concrete in little bits instead of looking at the big picture. Concrete is one of the most, if not the most, complex building materials. We often see a one hour presentation that covers just a small part of the whole concrete picture: shrinkage, durability, waterproofing, aesthetics or sealing. This presentation will tie it all together and cover just about everything to specify concrete from the time it is mixed to the time the project is complete.

“Understanding Wood Door Construction” -Understand the difference between a performance driven & a prescriptive based standard.

-Recognize the construction differences between standards.

-Have the knowledge to choose the door core, vertical edge and face material best suited for each opening.

-Be informed on how construction requirements affect the cost of materials and the use of natural resources.

-Have the ability to decide if the cost of additional certifications adds value to the project.

“Transforming Standard Building Materials into Versatile Interior Finishes” This presentation will focus on manufacturing Sustainable Acrylic Infused Composite Panels (SAICPs) and how they can be engineered and transformed into durable interior surfaces. At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will understand the following: • What are S-AICPs? • How S-AICPs can be fabricated.

• Learn the various applications and uses for S-AICPs in lieu of traditional building materials.

• Understand how S-AICPs can contribute to LEED certification.
