AIA/CES registered box lunch programs
AIA/CES is a continuing education system developed by AIA that emphasizes learning and records professional learning as a requirement for architect membership. It enables architects to keep current, master new knowledge and skills, plan for the future, and responsibly meet the role society entrusts to a professional. In doing so, it has the potential to be one of the primary forces in the improvement and revitalization of the architectural profession.
PCI is a Registered Provider! Through box-lunch afternoon programs administered by PCI representatives. architects can learn about precast concrete hollowcore floors and walls, architectural precast concrete, precast parking structures, and glass fiber reinforced concrete.

|
| Precast Housing Structures |
| Program Number Authorized: HOUS06 |
| In this program, participants will discuss precast, prestressed concrete in the housing market. Precast, prestressed concrete provides long clear spans, shallow cross sections, high load capacities, high durability, compatibility with block, steel and cast-in-place concrete, and attractive appearance. Also learn how owners and residents benefit from low maintenance, two- or four-hour fire ratings, lower fire insurance rates, and strong acoustical control. After this program, participants will be able to: Identify the different precast concrete systems used in housing Explain the benefits of using precast concrete in housing structures Utilize precast concrete structures to benefit clients with fire suppression and environmental issues |

|
| Precast Stadiums Design & Construction |
| Program Number Authorized: STAD06 |
| Box lunch attendees will learn how working with your precast, prestressed specialist at the earliest stages of design can mean a winning combination of advantages for your next stadium. These include flexibility of design, including long spans; high quality of manufactured products; versatility; high-performance, durable materials; and speed of construction because precast components can be erected quickly once they arrive at the site. After attending this program, participants will be able to: Identify the different precast, prestressed concrete systems used in stadium designs Explain the benefits of using precast, prestressed concrete in stadiums Discuss the benefits of PCI-certified precast producers |

| Precast/Prestressed Concrete 101 |
| Program Number Authorized: P101 |
| Participants will explore building design solutions using precast and prestressed concrete products. They will learn what precast, prestressed concrete products are, how they are manufactured, including structural theory of prestressing, and quality assurance procedures. They will learn about the industry certification program (PCI) of plants, people and performance. Participants will explore numerous examples of architectural and structural concrete solutions for numerous building markets. They will explore a variety of architectural finishes and how each is created in terms of color, form and texture. They will explore common structural solutions using prestressed concrete products and explore integrated solutions; realizing the full potential of loadbearing architectural precast units. The session will end with an overview of industry support available to the design community, including published and electronic media and a question and answer session. |

| Precast/Prestressed Plant Tour |
| Program Number Authorized: PT004 |
| Attendees will observe firsthand how designs and engineering details are executed in the precast manufacturing process. They will also observe the entire precast and prestressed manufacturing process from engineering and connections, forms set-up, casting and finishing. Attendees will gain a better understanding of precast and prestressed capabilities and related quality issues. Attendees will learn how precast fits within the entire building system and how to specify precast concrete accurately and safely. |

| Sustainable Building Design Using Precast Concrete |
| Program Number Authorized: SUST06 |
| After this presentation, participants will understand the following concepts: (1) The key to sustainable building lies in long-life, adaptable, low-energy design. (2) The earth’s resources are best conserved if the service life of a building is prolonged. (3) Using precast concrete in buildings conserves energy and resources during and after construction because of the following characteristics of precast concrete: (a) The materials used in precast buildings are natural, renewable, and locally available. (b) Water and materials used in precast buildings are often recyclable and recycled. (c) Indoor and outdoor air quality are improved in precast buildings because less (or no) VOC-based preservatives and paints are required, and because of the thermal mass qualities of precast concrete. |
