SUMMARY:Achieving a High-Performance Air Barrier System  1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Achieving a High-Performance Air Barrier System\nAir Barriers are an extremely important component of a high-performance building enclosure system. For the most part\, these systems are non-maintainable components and repairs can typically only be made with the removal of the exterior cladding system. To ensure a performing system\, proper design\, detailing and ultimately the proper installation of these systems is extremely important. You have one chance to get it right. Come learn about important design considerations\, how to properly detail critical interfaces\, key items to include in your specifications\, proper installation techniques\, quality control and testing parameters for a variety of air barrier systems in use today. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscuss how air barriers are part of a high-performance building and how they control air and moisture movement\, improve insulation performance and reduce energy needs of buildings\nReview key design considerations\, critical interfaces for continuity\, material performance requirements and specification language for the proper design and selection of the air barrier assembly\nIdentify the typical installation requirements of a variety of air barrier materials and assemblies and common installation issues observed in the field\nDiscuss the importance of proper construction sequencing\, coordination of sub-trades\, testing and inspection criteria\, how to identify installation defects and remedial action required during the construction phase\n\nRegister Now \nDenali Jones\, P.E.\, Technical Director\, ABAA \nDenali is an engineer focused on building enclosures for his entire career. After working for a manufacturer he transitioned into consulting\, working for one of the leading building science firms in North America for over a decade.

SUMMARY:Testing the Boundaries: Quality Control Options for Air Barrier Installation 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Testing the Boundaries: Quality Control Options for Air Barrier Installation\nAir barriers separate conditioned air from unconditioned air\, improving energy efficiency and limiting the risk of unintended moisture migration via airflow that may result in condensation within wall assemblies. But\, as with any system\, the performance of the air barrier depends on the quality of the design and installation. The industry has started to place a greater emphasis on quality installation of air barriers\, including iterative evolution of more stringent requirements in the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). Developing industry guidelines and standards provide additional performance testing procedures that can be used to further evaluate installed air barrier materials and assemblies beyond code requirements. Examples of such quality control measures include visual inspection\, air leakage testing\, and adhesion testing. Results may vary depending on the specific procedure selected\, and different tests yield different types of results (i.e.\, qualitative vs quantitative). Test methodology\, manufacturer recommendations\, industry standards\, and the component(s) being evaluated all influence the appropriate evaluation criteria. The variety of available options complicates the assessment and selection of quality control measures that are most beneficial to meet project goals. This presentation will discuss air barrier quality control options and test procedures\, highlight appropriate applications and limitations of procedures discussed\, and describe methods to evaluate test criteria and results to maximize benefits and achieve project-specific goals. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscuss code requirements and additional industry standards for air barrier quality control procedures and the importance of such measures.\nCompare the advantages and limitations of various quality control tests and procedures for air barrier materials and assemblies.\n Evaluate appropriate test criteria for a variety of air barrier quality control tests.\nLearn to assess and select suitable air barrier quality control methods for a project based on the project-specific goals.\n\nRegister Now \nJordan Stirling\, Project Consultant\, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger \nJordan Stirling is a Project Consultant for Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) and has experience with new design enclosure consulting\, rehabilitation\, enclosure commissioning and investigation projects for a variety of owners\, architects\, and general contractors.
