This presentation explores the question - "What is the appropriate level of investigation when conducting a structural building condition review?" The protocol for a condition review of a structure is frequently limited to a set of observations to determine if there is any visually apparent evidence of distress, damage, or deterioration. Yet some structures have hidden defects, either in design or construction, that represent capacity limitations that analysis would show are actually highly overstressed under service loads. Such hidden structural limitations have led to sudden collapses. https://www.nspe.org/resources/pe-institute/live-educational-events/ nysspe-november-4th-webinar-series-klepper-hahn-hyatt Canon 1, NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers: “Hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public” november 4– 1 pdh This webinar will introduce you to four of the current members of the NSPE Board of Ethical Review (BER). Discussion will focus on four ethics cases that illuminate multiple aspects of Canon 1, to “hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public.” These cases are personal favorites selected by each BER member from the more than 600 opinions the BER has published since the late 1950s. Topics include health, safety and welfare issues such as the impact of sea level rise associated with climate change, confidentiality limits to the engineer’s obligation to report observed safety violations, how far an engineer should go in warning officials about off-site safety concerns noticed on an unrelated project, and how to navigate the tricky politics of city government to achieve better code enforcement. https://www.nspe.org/resources/pe-institute/live-educational-events/ canon-1-nspe-code-ethics-engineers-hold-paramount-the Building A Strong AEC Brand Through Employee Experience november 11– 2 pdh/lu This is a two-week program of one hour each week of a live zoom meeting with our seminar instructors.

But there are other ways to design and construct structures that may have certain advantages over conventional framing systems. These include: SIPs, AAC, and CLT.

You’ve asked. We’re answering. The Elevate AEC Conference can now be experienced 100 percent virtually. That’s right—the same world- class experience, but no travel required.

This virtual experience will include daily doses of keynote speeches, Ted Talks, breakout sessions, virtual social mixing events, and awards celebrations. The Elevate AEC Virtual Experience will also include the ElevateHer TM Symposium which will include presentations of our 2020 ElevateHer TM Cohort’s research findings. This is one of the most exciting and requested events of 2020. With one cohort presentation each week, the ElevateHer TM Cohort presentations will be open to all and for anyone interested in learning more about how to solve the AEC industry’s top challenge: recruitment and retention. https://www.zweiggroup.com/virtual-conference/ This is a three-week prog/luram of one hour each week of a live zoom meeting with our seminar instructors. Zweig Group examines the ever- complex environment of ownership transition in an AEC firm. The presentation covers a range of topics, giving attendees a new view of ownership transition and how an effective plan can be put into place. Whether the attendees are young, up and coming AEC professionals or principals looking at their impending transition, the content gives everyone an introspective view of their career. We plan to take a deep dive into ESOPs to better understand the benefits of this transition option. https://shop.zweiggroup.com/collections/webinars/products/ ownership-transition-strategies-virtual-seminar-starting-november-2- 2020?variant=36266695590039 The NYS Uniform Code changed on 12 May 2020. Are up to speed? The Code is based on the 2018 IBC family of codes, with NYS modifications. All NYS design professionals, as well as the rest of the design and construction community, will need to get up to speed on the new code provisions. This presentation is an overview of the Uniform Code books and a review of some of the noteworthy changes to the Building Code, Existing Building Code, Residential Code, Property Maintenance Code, and Energy Code. Bring you questions, insights, and ideas as we share our knowledge with each other. https://www.nspe.org/resources/pe-institute/live-educational-events/ nysspe-november-4th-webinar-series-klepper-hahn-hyatt Ownership Transition Strategies november 2– 4 pdh 2020 Uniform Codes – What's New? november 4– 1 pdh
