SUMMARY:Building Enclosures Durability Analysis with Hygrothermal Modeling  1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Building Enclosures Durability Analysis with Hygrothermal Modeling\nHygrothermal modeling\, the analysis of heat and moisture transport through building enclosure assemblies\, reveals many of the climate-specific building science secrets that are key to durable design of walls and roofs and other assemblies. Debunking rules of thumb and avoiding answers of “it depends” – data and analysis can reveal exactly how many inches of a certain insulation are required\, exactly what perm-rating will optimize an assembly\, and what kind of havoc a reservoir cladding system can create. Case studies will be shown that demonstrate when perm rating matters and when it does not\, the impact of roof membrane color and the risks of “cool roofing\,” and when HT (high-temp) rated membranes are actually required. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn climate-specific design strategies for durable construction.\nLearn to avoid common mistakes that can lead to mold\, rot\, mildew\, corrosion and decay.\nUnderstand how hygrothermal modeling can be used in the design process to ensure durability.\nLearn how material properties (permeability\, heat capacity\, density\, conductivity\, and porosity) impact wall assemblies.\n\nRegister Now \nKeith Simon\, FAIA\, CPHC\, BECxP\, CxA+BE\, LEED AP\, CEI\, VP\, Design Phase Services\, Salas O’Brien \nAn expert in building enclosure technology\, Keith Simon addresses the critical and often unmet need for ensuring and improving building performance\, resilience\, and durability by guiding design teams\, educating future architects\, and facilitating interdisciplinary exchange. With more than 20 years of experience in the industry\, Keith is Vice President of Design Phase Services at Salas O’Brien. Additionally\, he serves as the Chair and Founder of the Austin Building Enclosure Council\, Vice Chair of the NIBS Building Enclosure Technology and Environment Council (BETEC)\, Scholarships Chair for the Society of Building Science Educators (SBSE) and has been adjunct faculty at the University of Texas School of Architecture since 2011.

SUMMARY:Electronic Leak Detection: Lessons Learned from ELD Testing & Continuous Monitoring  1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Electronic Leak Detection: Lessons Learned from ELD Testing & Continuous Monitoring\nThis one hour course will cover the lessons learned from multiple case studies regarding Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) quality control testing as part of new construction\, forensic testing in existing buildings with active leaks\, and continuous moisture monitoring for conventional roofing. Participants will learn about the principles outlined in the ASTM Standard Guide D7877 and ASTM Standard Practice D8231 and will be able to identify common causes for moisture intrusion. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the science\, capabilities and limitations of Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) as outlined in ASTM Guide D7877 & ASTM Practice D8231.\nRecognize common causes of failures found in numerous types of roofing and waterproofing membranes.\nIdentify potential future design and construction failures based on analyzed data from real time construction monitoring.\nDistinguish different applications for ELD testing and continuous moisture monitoring for risk mitigation and loss control.\n\nRegister Now \nShaun Katz\, CSI\, ASTM Member\, Product Line Manager\, Detec Systems \nShaun has over 20 years of experience in customer service and business administration. He has assisted facility/property managers and building owners\, contractors\, architects\, engineers\, consultants\, and manufacturers with forensic leak investigation\, as well as leak detection in new construction. He has performed ELD product demos and presentations throughout the world\, and won the 2020 Presenter of the Year award from the Chicago Chapter of IIBEC. His goal is to provide a basic understanding of Electronic Leak Detection and to assist all parties with ensuring valid and conclusive ELD. He is an active member of CSI and IIBEC.

SUMMARY:Prefabricated Exterior Wall Assemblies: Herding Cats in Hard Hats 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Prefabricated Exterior Wall Assemblies: Herding Cats in Hard Hats\nPrefabrication of exterior wall assemblies has been explored since the 1920s and 1930s\, so the concept of their use is nothing new to the built environment. Today\, the construction industry’s focus is ensuring continuity of air\, water\, and thermal barriers—regardless of whether wall assemblies are built in the field or in a shop. Prefabricated exterior wall systems are designed to meet these requirements. This presentation will introduce perspectives from both a General Contractor involved in delegated design and a building enclosure consultant who reviews design\, fabrication\, and installation. Case studies will highlight code and industry inspection requirements\, review processes\, and lessons learned in coordinating prefabricated assemblies with other trades. Presenters will include Colton Howard with Terracon supporting Kayla Maines\, and we plan to bring in a prefabrication manufacturer to share their viewpoint. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Describe the history and different types of prefabricated exterior wall panels.\n Contracting and coordinating the delegated design process with the applicable trade partners. Turn-Key\, Means & Methods\, and who owns the details?\n Review applicable codes and standards and methods for testing and inspecting these assemblies.\nDemonstrate the process of designing and construction of the prefabricated exterior wall assembly and how it incorporates the air\, thermal and water barriers within it.\n\nRegister Now \nKayla Maines\, AIA\, Senior Architect\, Terracon Consultants\, Inc\, \nKayla Maines joined Austin Terracon-Facilities in May of 2018.
