Modern environments such as classrooms, collaboration, meeting and board rooms have seen a transformation in both their overall layout and how they are being utilized, post pandemic. Low voltage systems, IT, AV, and building managements systems in the past were stand alone systems and this isolation between them caused issues for the users experience in a negative way. By working together on the early design phases, this will eliminate many challenges for designers and engineers planning a space layout. Audiovisual and data applications in various spaces will be covered, and the connectivity requirements associated with them for onsite and remote applications. This presentation will show how combining facility management, IT and AV teams on the usage of the spaces early in the process will enhance the user’s experiences. A variety of ceiling, wall and floor boxes as cable management solutions will be addressed. The different features of these boxes will be covered, as well as UL requirements, electrical issues, the merging of technology aesthetics and developments in connectivity will also be discussed. Various connectivity and cable management solutions within tables and other furniture will be covered.

The Evolution of Self-Leveling Technology 101 will examine the five elements in leveling compounds, their significance, their importance in achieving desired characteristics and how that impacts the soundness of the subfloor and foundation. The binder is the most important ingredient in any leveling compound which includes gypsum, Portland and calcium aluminate cement. Binders are the key to developing a material that is safe and stable. The geological and historical use of each binder will be reviewed from their development in the construction of historical buildings and presence in artifacts, to their use in modern architecture. Each type of leveling compound will be explored, properties discussed, benefits and disadvantages acknowledged, and recommended applications for each type examined allowing the specifier to choose the best material and method for each job site. Participants will benefit from this instruction learning how to properly select the best-suited leveling compound and will be able to make the best decision on appropriate measures to correct substrate challenges to properly prepare subfloors for successful, sustainable, environmentally friendly, sound flooring installations.
