SUMMARY:BEC Portland Half-Day Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \n11:00AM – 12:00PM     Lunch & Network \n12:00 – 1:00PM     Presentation Brian Stroik\, Trust But verify: Quality Control for your air barriers – 1.0 LU/HSW  \nModern construction is more complex\, with layered systems\, tight schedules\, and higher expectations. This session outlines how quality assurance programs and trade-specific quality control—starting before installation and continuing through completion—help ensure durable\, high-performing air barriers \n1:00 – 2:00PM     Presentation Andrew Dunlap\, Locating That Elusive Point of Condensation: A Review of Hygrothermal Evaluation Fundamentals. 1.0 LU/HSW\nThis presentation will review the various types of Hygrothermal modeling tools available to assist designers in developing a building’s exterior enclosure. Variables such as the interior and exterior climate (temperature/humidity)\, material permeance\, wall assembly types\, and transitions between adjacent construction will be explored. Understanding the impact of the decision to use various modeling techniques such as 1D/2D/3D and transient versus static modeling will be discussed. \n2:00 – 2:15PM     Break \n2:15 – 3:15PM     Presentation Brian Stroik\, A Sticky Subject – Adhesion Of Air and Water Resistive Barrier Materials – 1.0 LU/HSW \nAdhesion is critical for barriers to resist wind\, stack effect\, and pressurization. This session reviews 15 years of field research on adhesion performance across materials and substrates\, comparing real-world results with lab testing. Attendees will learn how this data informs specifications and quality control on job sites. \n1:00 – 2:00PM     Presentation Andrew Dunlap\, Failure Is Not An Option: Air Barrier Continuity Strategies for Storefront and Curtain Wall Systems 1.0 LU/HSW\nThis presentation will review the various types of Hygrothermal modeling tools available to assist designers in developing a building’s exterior enclosure. Variables such as the interior and exterior climate (temperature/humidity)\, material permeance\, wall assembly types\, and transitions between adjacent construction will be explored. Understanding the impact of the decision to use various modeling techniques such as 1D/2D/3D and transient versus static modeling will be discussed. \n4:15 – 5:00PM     Networking \nRegister Now
