SUMMARY:ABAA Contractor Webinar: Air Barrier Submittals - Shop Drawings\, Design Intent\, and the Risk of Detail Clarifications Becoming Changes
DESCRIPTION:This interactive panel discussion will address shop drawing submittals and their role in construction. The speaker panel will have representative from legal\, architectural\, installer\, and general contractor backgrounds who will discuss responsibilities of each party\, and what risks each party may be talking on\, knowingly or unknowingly. The panel will also discuss best practices for shop drawing creation\, submission\, and implementation in the field. Audience Q&A and participation is encouraged. \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nUnderstand the contractual requirements of shop drawings\, and how they integrate with the contract documents.\nRecognize potential risks/liabilities of shop drawings that modify design details.\nBe able to define the role of the installer (trade contractor) and manufacturer in shop drawing creation.\nKnow the responsibilities of each party in submitting\,  approving\, and implementing shop drawings.\n\nThis webinar is exclusive to the ABAA contractor members.  Please reach out to lhardman@airbarrier.org to register.

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. She received her bachelor’s degree in architectural engineering from The University of Texas and has worked on a wide array of commercial\, residential\, and institutional projects while at SGH. \n  \n  \n\nBrian Rose\, P.E.\,Senior Project Manager\, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger \nBrian Rose is a Professional Engineer and Senior Project Manager for Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) where he provides a variety of building enclosure commissioning\, consulting\, and investigation services for owners\, architects\, and contractors. Brian manages a wide array of commercial\, residential\, government\, and institutional projects in the mid-Atlantic region and has worked closely with architects and contractors to specify\, perform\, and witness air barrier quality control testing.
