SUMMARY:IFAD - Project Experiences With (or Without) Flashings 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Today’s construction projects incorporate hundreds—if not thousands—of materials and products within the building enclosure. Among the most critical\, yet often overlooked\, components is flashing. Commonly referred to as “that little L” at the base of a wall or above an opening\, flashings play a vital role in collecting and directing water back to the exterior. When improperly designed\, detailed\, or installed\, the results can include water intrusion\, material deterioration\, costly repairs\, and project delays. This presentation examines real-world project experiences from across North America\, highlighting the consequences of missing\, misplaced\, or improperly installed flashings. Attendees will review common flashing materials\, understand how flashing interfaces affect adjacent enclosure components\, and explore case studies demonstrating the impact of flashing failures on building performance\, owners\, and contractors. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nReview common masonry through-wall flashing materials used in today’s construction market.\nUnderstand how improperly installed flashings can negatively impact the performance of adjacent enclosure materials and systems.\n Identify where continuous flashings are required within masonry\, metal panel\, and other wall assemblies.\nAnalyze project case studies demonstrating how flashing deficiencies can lead to water intrusion\, rework\, increased costs\, and owner dissatisfaction.\n\nRegister Now \nMelissa Payne\, BECxP\, CxA+BE\, CDT\, Building Enclosure Consulting – Forensics\, Owner\, Midwest Enclosure Consulting\, LLC  \nMelissa I. Payne is the founder of Midwest Enclosure Consulting\, LLC\, established in September 2022\, where she provides independent\, third-party building enclosure consulting services. She works with clients across all phases of a project –design\, construction\, and operation – to mitigate risk and deliver effective\, high-performing building envelope solutions.\nMs. Payne has a strong foundation in building envelope commissioning\, commissioning authority services\, building science\, construction observation\, performance testing\, and project management. Her experience spans institutional\, K-12\, higher education\, government\, healthcare\, hospitality\, and industrial facilities.\nWith a background that includes owner representation\, forensic investigation\, commissioning provider services\, and manufacturer-side consulting\, Melissa brings a comprehensive\, well-rounded perspective to the design and construction industry. She collaborates closely with owners\, architects\, engineers\, construction managers\, and enclosure trades to promote durable\, high-performance building enclosures. Known for fostering collaboration\, she focuses on bridging the gap between design and construction through design reviews\, development of project-specific details\, construction observation and documentation\, and proactive risk mitigation strategies related to building enclosure systems.

SUMMARY:IFAD - The Humble Drip Edge: Details that Quietly Complete High-Performance Envelopes 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Drip edges have been in use for centuries\, but we often take their quiet contribution to building performance for granted. While some designers resist using them due to their aesthetic impact\, some critical components of the building enclosure will not function properly without them. This presentation will focus on the connection between drip edges and air tightness\, and how external elements like flashing can improve the function of internal components. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify locations in commercial building envelopes where drip edges aid in air tightness and overall building performance\n Describe how design decisions such as material selection impact the way the water control layer is detailed\n Explore details that successfully and unsuccessfully manage air\, water and thermal control layers\nInvestigate the relationship between drip edges and the four primary control layers\n\nRegister Now \nChris Bubser\, AIA\, LEED AP BD+C\, Senior Technical Architect\, LHB Corp \nChris Bubser has spent half his career in architecture and half in construction\, but has always gravitated towards the technical side of the industry. Chris has had the good fortune to work on a wide variety of commercial and residential building types around the midwest. While a Quality Manager at Mortenson Construction\, he was responsible for setting up and managing all aspects of the QA/QC process on project sites\, but specialized in coordinating building enclosure systems. Chris is currently a Senior Technical Architect at LHB\, where he oversees document quality and detailing for their K-12 Education studio. He is Past-Chair of the Building Enclosure Council of Minnesota.

SUMMARY:Lessons Learned on the Path to Airtight Buildings 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of 14 years\, Walsh Construction Company has been on a journey of learning and discovery regarding effective strategies to create airtight building enclosures. We have learned from our mistakes\, learned from our partners and learned that air tightness is not just about the enclosure\, but is heavily tied into mechanical system interface with the enclosure. This presentation will detail our progression regarding we have learned about air barrier strategies\, quality control and how to integrate mechanical systems into the enclosure for overall whole building air tightness. We will look at a number of case studies\, including air barrier strategies\, test results and lessons learned along the way. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand possible approaches to whole building air tightness\nUnderstand the relative performance of different air barrier approaches\nUnderstand the constructability of air barrier strategies\nUnderstand the influence of mechanical systems on overall whole building air tightness\n\nRegister Now \nMartin Houston\, AIA\, LEED AP\, Director of Learning and Development\, Walsh Construction Company \nMarty Houston is the Director of Learning and Development at Walsh Construction Company\, working to create a company wide training program that includes position-specific\, soft skills and technical training for all employees within the organization. An architect licensed in three states\, he previously served as the Quality Director at WCC\, working with a team dedicated to creating durable and energy efficient projects for our clients.
