SUMMARY:ABAA Contractor Webinar: Mock Ups - The "Crash Test Dummy" for Building Enclosure
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will review why enclosures are critical for energy efficiency\, sustainability and durability\, and explain how every building is unique.  We will then review and discuss the advantages/disadvantages of the various types of mock ups\, using examples from actual projects\, along with discussing various industry performance tests and standards typically performed on Functional or tested mock ups. \nThe last part of the presentation will review and provide ideas on how to take the Lessons Learned from the mock and use that information as an on-site training for the tradesmen whom will be installing the enclosure for that project. \nThis webinar is exclusive to the ABAA contractor members.  Please reach out to lhardman@airbarrier.org to register.

SUMMARY:Dispelling the Myths about Building Enclosure Warranties  1.5 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Dispelling the Myths about Building Enclosure Warranties\nBuilding Envelope System Warranties are becoming more sought after and bring some real value to a building owner – they help manage risk and obtain peace of mind. What constitutes a building enclosure system warranty? Can such a warranty be attained under one umbrella of coverage? Our industry understands how critical it is to ensure building enclosure protection from water\, air\, and thermal intrusion\, at every level\, and at every transition\, but is our industry ready for shift in practices to make this a reality for building owners? In a world aiming to minimize financial exposure\, system warranties are a good option. But are they really that simple to specify and implement? Join us to learn more about building enclosure system warranties\, the value they bring\, what they are\, how to specify them\, and what to look out for during the build process. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Explain the scale and causes of building enclosure failures as a billion-dollar annual issue and describe why performance specifications – defining performance\, functional\, and technical requirements – are essential to reducing these failures.\n Identify and interpret key contract terms\, conditions\, and warranties\, and analyze how they assign responsibilities among parties and outline remedies in cases of claims or breaches.\n Differentiate between full system warranties\, component warranties\, and workmanship warranties\, and evaluate how full building envelope warranties align with Building Code compliance and the performance expectations of components that are moderately difficult to access or replace.\nDistinguish the coverage terms of various whole building envelope warranties and apply this understanding to appropriately incorporate warranty requirements into project specifications\n\nRegister Now \nMelissa Payne\, BECxP\, CxA+BE\, CDT\, Owner\, Midwest Enclosure Consulting\, LLC \nMelissa I.
