This document discusses the benefits of audiovisual design professionals partnering with architects on projects. It outlines the roles that AV consultants and integrators play in the design and construction process. The document highlights how AV professionals can provide insight into leading technologies and applications across different market verticals. They help ensure projects consider important factors like accessibility requirements and coordinate complex installation issues. Partnering with an AV professional early in the planning process allows an architect's team to avoid costly mistakes and have an expert focused on the project's complete success.

Editor's Notes
- InfoComm Member: Insert your company logo on first and last slide of this presentation.
- Depending on your perspective as a consultant or design-build firm, you can emphasize: Independent resource Understand the design process Bring experience and ideas to each project Owners technical representative Can verify the system installed per the design documents Sensitive to aesthetics
- From AudioVisual Best Practices: Independent design consultant – Often hired by the architects or directly by system owners, the independent design consultant determines the best options for the design of a system and produces specifications for the job that can be competitively bid by systems integrators. Design consultants handle video, audio, data and PC-video, as well as acoustics, lighting, electrical power and other infrastructure. Design consultants are not affiliated with any particular brand or manufacturer so they offer independent advice on system components. NOTE: Solid lines indicate contractual relationships Horizontal dotted lines indicate coordination commonly required by contract Curved dotted line indicates additional coordination commonly practiced
- From AudioVisual Best Practices: Systems integrators are skilled professionals who traditionally install AV technologies as integrated systems ensuring compatibility with existing IT systems and providing staff training to use the system. Increasingly, the role of the AV integrator has broadened to include a wider range of services, due to the complexity of the systems. Some integrators now offer consulting and design services. These integrators are referred to as “design-build” firms. NOTE: AV integrators offering design-build services may be contracted to the GC or directly to the Owner.
- Use project photos as appropriate …. as examples
- Use project photos as appropriate …. as examples
- Discussion Points: Appropriate screen size relative to audience area, ceiling height, lighting and media presented Controlling ambient light and zoning lights in presentation rooms How audio design follows physics rules – importance of hearing the presenter Cool technology v. functional technology that meets building and audience needs Effects of new technology (HD, wide screen formats) on architecture and building systems
- Emphasize client solutions: communicate effectively with remote offices ease of use, “push of a button” Discuss aesthetics and technical considerations: How to integrate loudspeakers, cameras, video displays with architecture v. add-on Working with lighting consultant to incorporate lighting system into control system for AV, IT and Help Desk
- As appropriate use photos to illustrate solutions
- Depending on your role – use “Define” or “Source” in the subhead Embellish as appropriate i.e. acoustical materials to address acoustics and noise control issues. Discuss as appropriate: Room geometry and sizing, adjacencies Cable pathways, building infrastructure Fix LAN Closets
- Opportunity here to discuss: HIPPA Classroom acoustics LEED – acoustical challenges
- Appropriate to reference the 2006 AV Design Reference Manual published by InfoComm and BICSI. 19-chapter reference manual for anyone involved in a building’s infrastructure. Standards, documents, best practices and glossaries covering signals, transmission, infrastructure, networking, electrical principles, grounding, HVAC, structural considerations, acoustics, lighting, interior design, audio, video, control, systems, venues and processes.
- From AudioVisual Best Practices: NOTE: Presenter – next 8 slides show schedules for large project (4 slides) and small project (4 slides). Choose one set of slides that applicable to you. Next 4 slides show Large Project schedule for a new building that includes significant AV and IT integration – often a 2 – 4+ year project There are two basic tracks of design that occur before construction: Base Building Track – represented in the arrow across the chart AV Electronics Track –
- Base Building Track involves: Acoustics, lighting, conduit, data, power and space requirements Infrastructure for the systems are designed along with the rest of the building 2. AV Electronics track includes: AV equipment (audio, video, AV control and AV wiring) AV electronics are designed later in construction process
- AV system design and installation at construction phase – employing current AV technologies. Due to the length of the design and construction process, the bulk of the electronics design is often completed after the base building is contracted and construction is underway.
- AV system design and installation at construction phase – employing current AV technologies. Note that integrators provide training for AV end users in the final project phase.
- This next series of slides is for a smaller and/or short-term project that can range from 6 months to 2 years.
- Schedule elements are basically the same as a large project design
- Two tracks – base building track and AV electronics track
- With short term projects, the infrastructure and electronics designs will often overlap so that both are in full swing at the same time for both the design and installation phases. The AV design and installation schedules may more closely follow the base building schedule.
- Depending on your perspective as a consultant or design-build firm, you can emphasize: Independent resource Understand the design process Bring experience and ideas to each project Owners technical representative Can verify the system installed per the design documents Sensitive to aesthetics
- InfoComm Member: Add your logo on this slide Announce the conclusion of the presentation and field questions. You may include several slides following this concluding slide, referencing sources such as InfoComm International. The following slides are optional.
- InfoComm Publishes industry news daily on its website www.infocomm.org Publishes books to help the building industry: Basics of AV, AV Best Practices, AV Design Reference Manual (with BICSI), Installation Handbook, Essentials Produces a database of more than 100,000 products and services to find the information and solutions you need. Product solutions are organized by application.
- InfoComm's education and certification programs are available OnLine, OnSite (classroom courses), OnDemand (streamed to your desktop) and as licensed courses at your facility. The quality of the curriculum, courses and instructors are the best available, anywhere. InfoComm has offered its certification program for 20+ years and every year certifies more qualified AV professionals than anyone else. General, Specialized (Design and Installation) and Company certifications are offered. As of July 2007, there are 7,000+ CTS professionals.
- InfoComm is among the fifty fastest growing tradeshows in the US according to Tradeshow Week magazine. It is the only audiovisual technology show to achieve this distinction. In 2007, InfoComm had 855 exhibitors in over 465,000 net square feet. In 2008, InfoComm will take place in Las Vegas.
