SUMMARY:SeaBEC Air Barrier Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \n12:15PM – 12:45PM     Sign-In & Welcome \n12:45 – 1:45PM     Box Lunch & Presentation Brian Stroik\, Building Enclosure Pre-Construction Meeting – 1.0 LU/HSW  \nPre-construction meetings are critical to quality assurance and should be specified in the project manual. They align owners\, designers\, contractors\, and manufacturers on expectations\, installation practices\, and warranties before field work begins. This session explains how to structure effective meetings to resolve issues early\, foster collaboration\, and reduce delays\, risks\, and construction problems. \n1:45 – 2:00PM     Break \n2:00PM – 3:00PM     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. \n3:00 – 3:15PM     Break \n3:15 – 4:15PM     Presentation Brian Stroik\, Trust But Verify: Quality Control For Your Air Barriers – 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 Modern 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 \n4:15 – 5:00PM     Networking \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Ron Blank/ABAA Blown Away: Unmasking the Secrets of Whole Building Airtightness Testing
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Denali Jones\, P.E.\, ABAA \nCEU: 1 AIA LU/HSW\, 1 AAA\, 1 AIBD\, 1 BOMI\, 1 FBPE\, 1 ICC\, 1 OAA\, 1 SAA \nRegister Here \nWhole building airtightness testing has been a code compliance option in the International Energy Conservation Code and ASHRAE 90.1 for some time. That compliance option was rarely used and only became mandatory as part of building owners’ requirements or a specific state or jurisdictional requirement that was limited to one or two states. As we moved towards Net Zero\, building codes “tightened” up\, and it is expected this will become a test that is mandatory on a more countrywide basis. It seems that time has arrived\, with many states now requiring mandatory whole building airtightness testing. As we move toward those requirements\, it is important to understand the latest in test methods\, current and projected code requirements\, how to specify the test properly\, coordination needed with the construction team\, and what type of pre-qualifications exist that you can rely upon. \n Learning Objectives: \n\nIdentify the current building code requirements on both the national and local levels\, plus the must-know details of eco-friendly building programs that are trending right now.\nArticulate what the airtightness test provides and how those results can be used to improve the building enclosure.\nDefine the differences among the various test methods available as code or specification options.\nReview guide specification sample language and typical pitfalls in current specifications.\nIdentify credentialing programs that can help you find pre-qualifications of testing personnel for large buildings.
