SUMMARY:ABAA & BEC Oklahoma Air Barrier Symposium
DESCRIPTION:ABAA in partnership with BEC Oklahoma Air Barrier Symposium\nEarn up to 6.75 LU/HSW \nRegister Today \nProgram Agenda \n7:30 AM | Sign-In\, Welcome & Breakfast \n8:00 AM – 9:00 AM | Waterproofing Used as the Air Barrier on the Other Sides of the Building Enclosure\, 1.0 LU/HSW\nPresenter: John Posenecker\, PE\, Senior Principal\, Senior Engineering Consultant\, Building Enclosure Practice Lead\, Terracon\nThis presentation identifies the portions of the continuous air barrier that extend beyond above-grade walls\, roofing\, and fenestration systems. It provides an overview of below-grade and elevated deck waterproofing systems\, their installation challenges\, and performance testing methods. Participants will also review critical transitions to adjacent systems and examine key detailing strategies \n9:00 AM – 9:15 AM | Break \n9:15 AM – 10:15 AM | Building Enclosure Pre-Construction Meeting\, 1.0 LU/HSW\nPresenter: Brian Stroik\, FABAA\, CABS\, CRIS\, Performance Excellence & Quality Consultant\, American Contractors Insurance Group\nThis presentation examines the critical role pre-construction meetings play in quality assurance and why they should be specified in the project manual. Attendees will learn how these meetings align owners\, designers\, contractors\, and manufacturers on project expectations\, installation practices\, and warranty requirements before work begins. The session also demonstrates how effective planning and coordination help resolve issues early\, improve collaboration\, and reduce construction delays and risk. \n10:15 AM – 10:30 AM | Break \n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM | “By Others” – The Elusive Sub-Contractor Responsible for Transitions\, 1.5 LU/HSW\nPresenter: Andrew Dunlap\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, Vice President | Building Technology Studio Leader\, SmithGroup\nAn in-depth look at the environmental separators for roof\, wall\, and below-grade assemblies with respect to water control\, air leakage control\, thermal performance\, and vapor control. This presentation focuses on two of the largest sources of building enclosure failures—roof-to-wall connections and wall-to-window transitions in curtain wall systems.\nParticipants will review critical details through a step-by-step examination of construction sequencing and system connections required to achieve airtight\, watertight\, and thermally protected assemblies. Real-world project photos and field conditions illustrate common installation errors and practical solutions. \n12:00 PM – 12:45 PM | Lunch \n12:45 PM – 1:45 PM | A Sticky Subject – Adhesion of Air and Water Resistive Barrier Materials\, 1.0 LU/HSW\nPresenter: Brian Stroik\, FABAA\, CABS\, CRIS\, Performance Excellence & Quality Consultant\, American Contractors Insurance Group\nAdhesion is critical to the long-term performance of air and water-resistive barriers as they resist wind loads\, stack effect\, and building pressurization. This session reviews 15 years of field research evaluating adhesion performance across a variety of materials and substrates\, comparing real-world results with laboratory testing. Attendees will learn how this data supports better specifications\, installation practices\, and quality control in the field. \n1:45 PM – 2:00 PM | Break \n2:00 PM – 3:15 PM | Locating That Elusive Point of Condensation: A Review of Hygrothermal Evaluation Fundamentals\, 1.25 LU/HSW\nPresenter: Andrew Dunlap\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, Vice President | Building Technology Studio Leader\, SmithGroup\nThis presentation explores the hygrothermal modeling tools available to help designers develop high-performing building enclosures. Topics include interior and exterior climate conditions\, material permeance\, wall assembly configurations\, and transitions between adjacent construction.\nParticipants will examine the impact of selecting different modeling approaches—including one-\, two-\, and three-dimensional analyses\, as well as transient versus static modeling—to better understand moisture behavior and support informed building enclosure design decisions. \n3:15 PM – 3:30 PM | Happy Hour & Panel Set-Up \n3:30 PM – 4:30 PM |Panel Discussion – Building Enclosure: Wrapping Our Heads Around It\, 1.0 LU/HSW\nModerator: Larry Pickering\nSpeakers: Brian Stroik\, Andrew Dunlap\, John Posenecker \nRegistration Fees \nEarly Registration (through August 31): $55.00 per person\nRegular Registration (beginning September 1): $65.00 per person \nSponsorships Contact:\nTamara Foncerrada / tamara@airbarrier.org \nVenue\nPetroleum Club of Oklahoma City\n100 N. Broadway; Devon Room\, 35th Floor\nOklahoma City\, OK 73102

SUMMARY:RAiNA Conference 2026 - Weathering the Future: Rainscreen\, Retrofit and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The Rainscreen Association (RAiNA) presents the 2026 RAiNA Conference\, taking place September 30\, 2026\, in Portland\, Oregon. Bringing together architects\, engineers\, consultants\, contractors\, manufacturers\, and other building enclosure professionals\, the conference offers a full day of technical education\, industry insights\, and networking focused on advancing rainscreen technology and best practices. \nThis year’s theme\, Weathering the Future: Rainscreens\, Retrofit and Resilience\, explores how rainscreen assemblies are helping the building industry respond to evolving performance expectations\, aging building stock\, and a changing climate. Sessions will examine innovative approaches to resilient design\, retrofit strategies that extend the life of existing buildings\, and emerging technologies that improve durability\, energy efficiency\, and long-term building performance. \nDate: Wednesday\, September 30\, 2026 \nLocation: Irving Street Studio\, 907 NW Irving Street\, Portland OR 97209 \nLearn More and Register \nThrough engaging presentations and panel discussions\, attendees will explore topics including rainscreen design and detailing\, retrofit and remediation strategies\, installation best practices\, water management\, fire performance\, sustainability\, and resilient building enclosure design. Every session is carefully selected to provide unbiased\, practical education that equips attendees with knowledge they can immediately apply to their projects.
