8:45-9:00AM Opening Remarks

9:00-10:00AM
Airtightness Testing Goes Extreme 1.0 LU/HSW
Pamela Jergenson, FCSI, CCS, CxA, CABS, Technical Director, Building Science Solutions, Intertek
Incomplete or unclear drawings often lead to performance issues in the field. This session reviews building science fundamentals and shows how to improve detail clarity at foundations, roofs, windows, penetrations, and material transitions to support durable, energy-efficient enclosures.

10:00-10:30AM Morning Break, Sponsor Displays

10:30-11:30AM
Adventures in Hygrothermal Modeling 1.0 LU/HSW
Keith Simon, FAIA, Vice President, Design Phase Services, Salas O’Brien
This session demonstrates how hygrothermal modeling replaces rules of thumb with data-driven insights. Through case studies, it examines when perm ratings matter, how roof membrane color and cool roofing affect performance, and when high-temperature membranes are truly required for durability.

11:30AM-1:00PM Lunch Break, Sponsor Displays

1:00-2:00PM
Self-Adhered Membrane Applications: What Does It Really Mean to Stick? 1.0 LU/HSW
Cody Shelner, PE, Head of Marketing, Air & Waterproofing, tesa Air & Waterproofing
While self-adhered membranes are popular for their ease of use, performance depends on more than peel adhesion. This presentation reviews the forces these systems must resist—wind, stack effect, and pressurization—and explains why comprehensive performance testing is essential for long-term durability.

2:00-2:30PM Afternoon Break, Sponsor Displays

2:30-4:00PM
Understanding Difficult Critical Transitions of Air, Vapor, and Moisture Barriers 1.5 LU/HSW
Corey Zussman, AIA, NCARB, CABS, QA/QC Vice President, AECOM Hunt Construction
This presentation identifies challenging critical transitions in complex building types and provides tools to understand proper sequencing and detailing. Using construction drawings and real-world installation photos, it highlights strategies to prevent constructability issues and costly rework in the field.

4:00PM Closing Remarks
