SFPS Newsletter -- July, 2002

SFPS offers AIA Continuing Education Course

Conference, Learning, and Performance facilities require the use of audio/visual presentation systems and equipment to meet the Owners’ specific program requirements.  The expert implementation of these varied systems too often falls outside the expertise of Architects and Electrical Engineers.  Price “sticker shock” is often a reality when the true systems requirements are revealed. The program presented discusses, through lecture and case study, the implementation of these systems and reveals the budget requirements for facility infrastructure and systems installation.  The program includes worksheets for the development of systems programming requirements with the architect’s clients so that realistic systems budgets can be discussed.  A checklist of physical requirements for video, lighting, and audio equipment is given along with descriptions of typical electrical power and systems raceway requirements.  The program is divided into the following segments:

• Determining the Clients Program for A/V Systems
• Guidelines for equipment locations
• Case Studies
     • Lecture Halls and Classrooms
     • Multimedia Teaching Facilities
     • High School Auditoriums
     • Performing Arts Auditoriums
     • Worship Centers
     • Courtrooms and Council Chambers
• Budget development cookbook

This course with 2 case studies will last two hours and attendees will earn two Learning Unit Hour credits.  SFPS will be glad to arrange this course for your AIA chapter or office (minimum of 12 attendees).  The course will be taught by Jim Brawley, acoustical engineer and sound systems consultant with more than 20 years of experience.
