Please join CMAA-SAC for our January 15 Lunch & Learn (RESCHEDULED!).
Topic: Fabric Duct & Diffusers: The Art & Science of Air Distribution
Sponsored by: Holden & Associates and Prihoda North America

This course will explore the advantages and potential applications of textile ducting and diffusers, also known as fabric air dispersion systems and address common myths and misconceptions related to this topic. Textile Air Dispersion systems have come a long way in technical development over the years in terms of features, benefits, and aesthetics. Similar to traditional metal duct systems, textile air dispersion systems operate to circulate air for heating and cooling systems; however, unlike traditional metal ducts, modern textile system distribution ducts and diffusers are made of engineered polyester that can even be derived from recycled plastics, that does not rust, corrode, or retain moisture. Textile diffuser systems offer virtually unlimited design flexibility including various shapes, colors, and custom printing options to give designers unmatched ability to tailor the form and function of air distribution systems.
Learning Objectives:
– Explain what a textile air dispersion system is and how it differs from traditional metal systems
– List the main components of a textile air dispersion system
– Discuss the process for designing and specifying a textile air dispersion systems and many related benefits
The presentation will be comparable to AIA and will help you fulfill CEU’s for other organizations. Attendance Certificates will be made available to all attendees. Syllabus (1 hour CEU)
All proceeds will go towards funding the annual scholarships at our awards banquet in June.

MEGA Meeting 2019 - Working Together to Build Georgia's Economy
2019-09-17 11:00 - 14:00 UTC | Georgia Aquarium, 246 Ivan Allen Jr. Blvd, NW, Atlanta, GA, 30313, United States
Georgia has ridden the wave of economic growth that has been surging across the state since the end of the “Great Recession.” Unemployment is near all-time lows and consumer confidence is high. And much like the “Great Recession,” which lasted longer than most economists predicted, economic growth is also out-performing what many people anticipated. How long it will last and how to continue capitalizing on the momentum are certainly on the minds of business leaders across the state. Affordability, mild climate, and pro-business environment all make our state a top choice for business, but for this growth to continue, collaboration between all parties is essential.
Make plans now to attend the 2019 MEGA Meeting to hear first-hand from a panel of experts who will discuss key areas that have helped make Georgia the top state for business for many years and learn how we may collaborate to continue to build Georgia’s economy.
