Comparative Study of Wood and Aluminum Windows in Commercial Buildings (1.0 AIA CES HSW)
Date: Tuesday, April 19, 2022
Time: 4:00 - 6:00 PM
Location: Pella Windows & Doors, Cross Point Shopping Center, Centerville
Cost: No charge to members of AIA Dayton
Both wood and aluminum windows are being used extensively in today’s commercial and institutional buildings, especially in education, health care, and offices. Using project case studies from across the United States, this program examines how window selection criteria (aesthetics, cost, energy efficiency, and sustainability) impact the design process.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe how the aesthetic attributes of wood and aluminum windows contribute to interior environments that are livable, comfortable, productive, safe, and beautiful.
- Identify the initial costs associated with wood and aluminum windows and how they impact the life cycle assessment of the window systems.
- Compare how the physical attributes of wood and aluminum windows contribute to the * overall energy efficiency of the building envelope.
- Use energy modeling to determine the annual energy costs for wood and aluminum window systems in different climatic zones.

A lot has changed in the materials world
The Architecture Expo at A’22 is your ticket to everything that’s new, all in one place. Nowhere else gives you the full product experience for so many brands! New this year: Reserve time to meet one-on-one with manufacturers and technical experts, order free samples for your firm, and more.
The expo will look different, too. We’re infusing Chicago’s spirit and culture across the expo. You’ll see it manifested as parks and green spaces, performance art, food, galleries, and a few cool surprises—like the Block Party, conference’s biggest party, on June 23.

The Changemakers
As society and architecture grapple with uncertainty, three visionary individualists are charting a new future. Join us on June 23 for a galvanizing conversation about design at the intersection of personal agency and human impact. On the agenda: Design’s most pressing issues, from equitable practice to climate-positive work at multiple scales to new education models.
Vishaan Chakrabarti, FAIA, founder and creative director of PAU, has been designing visionary urban architecture for 25+ years. A highly acclaimed author and educator, he lectures internationally and advocates for sustainable, equitable, and joyous cities.
Renée Cheng, FAIA, is the John and Rosalind Jacobi Family endowed dean of the College of Built Environments. A staunch advocate for equity in architecture, she led the research behind the AIA Guides for Equitable Practice.
Jeanne Gang, FAIA, founding principal of Studio Gang, is a leading architect of her generation. Her inquisitive, forward-looking approach is rooted in a practice she calls “actionable idealism.” She’s also a MacArthur Fellow and Harvard professor.
Keynote Host Lee Bey will moderate the conversation.

Trading Floors Challenge New York Landlords’ Environmental Efforts
Trading floors have always represented the beating heart of major banks: hundreds of people at a time hunched over their computers, yelling, gossiping, chatting on the phone, and, most importantly, generating revenue for their employers.
A typical office floor in New York City might have had 150 or 200 people working in it before the pandemic. A standard trading floor at a major financial institution would have seated 400 to 600 people, each of whom used multiple monitors, a desktop computer and a specialized telephone system called a turret, which can process hundreds of simultaneous calls at once. Many trading floors used to have their own data centers for on-site backup, too, though those have disappeared with the rise of cloud backup services.

The inside story of why Liberland tapped Zaha Hadid Architects to design buildings in the metaverse
In a few fundamental ways, the micronation of Liberland does not exist. A riverine floodplain on the Danube between Serbia and Croatia, its roughly 3 square miles of land are undeveloped. It has no diplomatic recognition from any United Nations member. And due to a decades-long and complicated dispute stemming from a river-straightening effort and the fall of the Soviet Union, even Serbia and Croatia can’t decide who should claim the land.

"We want to make a strong statement and stay in Ukraine" say Kharkiv Architecture School principals
Staff and students of a Ukrainian architecture school have restarted classes in temporary facilities and are creating emergency housing in Lviv after they "desperately fled" the besieged city of Kharkiv at the start of the war.
"We left Kharkiv on the first day of the war, on February 24," said the school's deputy vice-chancellor Iryna Matsevko speaking from the school's temporary premises at the National Academy of Arts in Lviv, around 800 kilometres to the west of Kharkiv.
"We heard explosions," she added. "I still remember this sound. We were stuck in a traffic jam. People desperately fled the city in cars."

One architect’s mission to bring DeafSpace design to the masses
Richard Dougherty grew up in a home with a rectangular dining table, pocket-size windows, and small rooms. Built more than 200 years ago, the Georgian-style house in Ireland had once been used as a church rectory. It was dark, damp, and cold, which “made it particularly difficult for me, as someone who depends on clear eye contact, lip-reading, and other facial expressions for communication,” he says. The closed-off rooms didn’t help either “[because they] limited my visual reach and cues.”
Dougherty is deaf; his parents and four siblings are not.

It’s Time for a Net Zero Building Boom
Is it too much to ask Americans to take their foot off the gas and reset their thermostats? On March 18, the International Energy Agency released a 10-point plan for reducing oil use, arguing that advanced economies can readily cut demand by 2.7 million barrels a day in the next four months, an amount large enough to avoid major supply shortages as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine roils the energy market.
