Course Description: AEC Daily: Creating Productive, Connected Outdoor Spaces with Access to Permanent Power
Electrical systems that deliver access to permanent power and enable device connectivity are critical components of the design and operation of high-performance buildings. Today’s mobile technology means people can connect and move freely between the indoors and outdoors and integrate their social and work lives anytime, anywhere. This course examines permanent outdoor power delivery offerings, including personal and electric vehicle charging stations, in-ground power boxes, and rooftop boxes, that support the growing demand for connectivity and data and audiovisual communications in outdoor spaces and help to create an outdoor environment that promotes longer stays, stimulates creativity, and increases productivity.
Explain how mobile technology is changing the way people work and use space and blurring the lines where people connect—inside or outside.
Discuss how access to permanent power outdoors encourages collaboration and social engagement and promotes the health and well-being of employees and visitors in spaces away from the main building.
Compare the safety and reliability of makeshift methods to today’s options for outdoor power access.
Identify and summarize the electrical code and general construction requirements relevant to permanent outdoor power products, including rooftop boxes and EV charging stations.
