SUMMARY:ABAA & CSI Charlotte Full Day Symposium
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE – Details Coming Soon\nABAA in partnership with CSI Charlotte\nEarn up to 5.5 LU/HSW \nProgram Agenda \n8:30 AM – 10:00 AM | Locating that Elusive Point of Condensation: A Review of Hygrothermal Evaluation Fundamentals (1.5 LU/HSW) \nAndrew Dunlap\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, Vice President | Building Technology Studio Leader\, SmithGroup\n \nUnderstanding heat\, air\, and moisture movement is essential to designing durable\, high-performing building enclosures. This presentation explores hygrothermal modeling tools and demonstrates how climate conditions\, material properties\, wall assemblies\, and construction details influence enclosure performance\, while comparing one-\, two-\, and three-dimensional modeling and static versus transient analysis to support informed design decisions. \n10:05AM – 11:35 AM | Air Barrier Field Testing of Various Air Barrier Materials During the Construction Process (1.5 LU/HSW) \nLaverne Dalgleish\, Executive Director\, Air Barrier Association of America \nLearn how field testing verifies that air barrier systems meet project specifications throughout construction. Using project photos\, videos\, and demonstrations\, this session covers quantitative testing\, qualitative assessments\, and visual inspections used to evaluate air leakage\, adhesion\, material thickness\, density\, and overall installation quality. \n11:35 AM – 12:30 PM | Lunch \n12:30 PM – 2:00 PM | Pitfalls & Challenges in NFPA 285 Engineering Judgments (1.5 LU/HSW) \nKeith Nelson\, NCARB\, AIA\, CDT\, BCxP\, Commercial Application Leader\, DuPont  \nWhen direct testing isn’t feasible\, engineering analyses help demonstrate the fire performance of exterior wall assemblies. This presentation explains how qualified engineering judgments extend successful NFPA 285 test results to similar assemblies while examining the process\, limitations\, and code acceptance of these analyses. \n2:00 PM – 2:15 PM | Break \n2:15 PM – 3:15 PM | Through-Wall Flashings & Transition Membranes: Selection & Installation (1.0 LU/HSW) \nMeagan Elfert\, CDT\, MBA\, CBS\, Vice President\, York Flashings \nProperly designed and installed through-wall flashings and transition membranes are essential to maintaining the continuity and long-term performance of the building enclosure. This presentation reviews common challenges\, material characteristics\, compatibility considerations\, and installation best practices that help create durable\, resilient flashing systems while reducing maintenance and life-cycle costs.
