Course Description: AEC Daily: Access Panels in Modern Construction
Access panels are covers for the openings in walls or ceilings that allow access to concealed equipment for the purpose of maintenance or replacement. This course provides a detailed understanding of architectural wall and ceiling access panels, including how they are specified, installed, and finished. Design and selection considerations such as ventilation options, safety, security, and fire-rated enclosures are also examined.
Select panel materials and mounting options that meet requirements for aesthetics, sound transmission, moisture infiltration, air ventilation, and security.
Recall panel fire code requirements from the International Building Code® (IBC®), the International Residential Code® (IRC®), the International Mechanical Code® (IMC®), and the National Building Code of Canada (NBC).
Recall design and selection considerations for sustainable panels.
Use the design checklist and specification guidance to select and design durable and functional access panels.
