This presentation will identify the many difficult critical transitions on complex building types and will give the tools to better understand the reasoning and sequencing needed to complete the installation in order to prevent constructability issues and potential rework in the field through drawing detailing and correlating construction photos of actual installations and explanations of […]

As artificial intelligence reshapes workflows across architecture, engineering, and construction, the demand for more sophisticated and adaptable building enclosures continues to grow. Yet, the built environment remains fundamentally human—designed for people, shaped by context, and realized through collaboration. This presentation offers a multidisciplinary perspective, drawing from the experiences of architects, contractors, and owners to examine […]

Current construction practices have spurred innovation in continuous insulation and air barrier technologies. Specifiers need a solid grasp of continuous insulation and air barrier fundamentals in order to ensure wall systems function as intended. This course will provide an overview of continuous insulation and air barrier technology options for in-field and off-site construction. In addition, […]

This presentation will review the challenges presented when detailing an exterior wall with a reservoir cladding. Because reservoir claddings hold onto moisture by their nature, they create conditions that present different risks than typical drained cladding systems or rainscreen walls. The detailing of your air barrier, flashing, and insulation can all be affected based on […]
