DESCRIPTION:ABAA in partnership with BEC Minnesota and CSI Minneapolis – St. Paul Full Day Air Barrier Symposium\nEarn up to 4.0 LU/HSW \nRegister Today \nProgram Agenda \n8:00 – 8:30 AM\nRegistration\, Breakfast\, & Networking \n8:30 – 9:30 AM\nBuilding Enclosure Architectural Details: Conveying Construction Drawing Clarity\, 1.0 LU/HSW\nMelissa Payne\, BECxP\, CxA+BE\, CDT\, BE Consulting – Forensics\, Midwest Enclosure Consulting\nIncomplete or unclear drawings often lead to performance issues in the field. This session reviews building science fundamentals and shows how to improve detail clarity at foundations\, roofs\, windows\, penetrations\, and material transitions to support durable\, energy-efficient enclosures. \n10:30 – 11:30 AM\nSelf-Adhered Membrane Applications: What Does It Really Mean to Stick? 1.0 LU/HSW\nCody Shelner\, PE\, Head of Marketing\, Air & Waterproofing\, tesa Air and Waterproofing\nSelf-adhered membranes are popular for their ease of use and reliability in air and moisture control. However\, performance depends on more than peel adhesion. This session reviews the forces these membranes must resist—wind\, stack effect\, and pressurization—and explores how to properly evaluate long-term durability under real conditions. Learn why comprehensive performance testing is essential when specifying or inspecting these systems. \n11:30AM – 12:30 PM\nLunch \n12:30 – 1:30 PM\nLocating That Elusive Point of Condensation: A Review of Hygrothermal Evaluation Fundamentals\, 1.0 LU/HSW\nAndrew Dunlap\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, Vice President | Building Technology Studio Leader\, SmithGroup\nThis presentation will review the various types of Hygrothermal modeling tools available to assistance 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. \n1:30 – 2:00 PM\nBreak \n2:00 – 3:00 PM\nFailure is Not an Option: Air Barrier Continuity Strategies for Storefront & Curtain Wall Systems\, 1.0 LU/HSW\nAndrew Dunlap\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, Vice President | Building Technology Studio Leader\, SmithGroup\nWall-to-window transitions are a leading source of enclosure failures.

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.
