12:45 – 1:45PM     Box Lunch & Presentation Brian Stroik, Building Enclosure Pre-Construction Meeting – 1.0 LU/HSW 
Pre-construction meetings are critical to quality assurance and should be specified in the project manual. They align owners, designers, contractors, and manufacturers on expectations, installation practices, and warranties before field work begins. This session explains how to structure effective meetings to resolve issues early, foster collaboration, and reduce delays, risks, and construction problems.

2:00PM – 3:00PM     Presentation Andrew Dunlap, Locating That Elusive Point of Condensation: A Review of Hygrothermal Evaluation Fundamentals. 1.0 LU/HSW
This presentation will review the various types of Hygrothermal modeling tools available to assist designers in developing a building’s exterior enclosure. Variables such as the interior and exterior climate (temperature/humidity), material permeance, wall assembly types, and transitions between adjacent construction will be explored. Understanding the impact of the decision to use various modeling techniques such as 1D/2D/3D and transient versus static modeling will be discussed.

3:00 – 3:15PM     Break

3:15 – 4:15PM     Presentation Brian Stroik, Trust But Verify: Quality Control For Your Air Barriers – 1.0 LU/HSW 
Adhesion is critical for barriers to resist wind, stack effect, and pressurization. This session reviews 15 years of field research on adhesion performance across materials Modern construction is more complex, with layered systems, tight schedules, and higher expectations. This session outlines how quality assurance programs and trade-specific quality control—starting before installation and continuing through completion—help ensure durable, high-performing air barriers
