DESCRIPTION:
Commercial interiors and tenant improvements are often designed and built using drawing sets without a complete project manual. General project requirements and technical details and product requirements are often
noted on the drawing sets, but not in a separate set of specifications.
PART I
- The first part of this seminar, presented by Andrew Wilson, will focus on the importance of developing a full project manual in coordination with the drawings to provide a complete set of construction documents for commercial interiors projects. It will emphasize the advantages of using a full set of specifications and drawings to confirm owner requirements, achieve the design intent, clarify construction requirements, and avoid potential liabilities that could arise from not having clear and complete set of project requirements. It will present methods for effectively specifying commercial interiors.
There are important advantages to owners and building occupants from sustainable design and construction. Optimizing energy efficiency, reducing water use, incorporating sustainable building products, and
assuring optimal indoor environmental quality are among those benefits.
PART II
- The second part of the seminar, presented by Kelly Ingalls and Laurie Johnson, will focus on how owners, commercial designers, and others can develop a set of Sustainable Tenant Improvement Guidelines that include owner project requirements for sustainable commercial interiors projects. Sample Sustainable Tenant Guidelines will be presented, based on the case study for 260 Homer Avenue, a recently completed LEED Core and Shell (LEED-CS) Gold project in Palo Alto, CA. Laurie Johnson will present a study of how those guidelines were adapted for the LEED for Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI 2009) project for the tenant improvements at 260 Homer Avenue.

IDEX® CALIFORNIA PRESENTATIONS for schools, large design or architectural firms and design associations
CCIDC would like to come to your school,
design firm or chapter meeting to discuss certification for interior designers. Certification is the most important and only legally recognized credential in California. For free, we will provide an educational
presentation on Certification and �how to� become a Certified Interior Designer.
We will cover the history of Certification, what it takes to become a Certified Interior Designer, and why it is important to
a designer�s career. The presentation can be done in as little as one hour, although one and a half hours is preferable in order to allow enough time for Q&A.
We can also add to this presentation
a seminar on �Ethics and Business Practices� at the same time. Some of this material is also relevant to the IDEX California® examination. There are no costs to participants and in the case of those
who are already CIDs, they will receive CEU credit towards their continuing certification requirements.
