SUMMARY:NIST Clearing House for Infiltration Modeling Purposes (CHIMP) 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:NIST Clearing House for Infiltration Modeling Purposes (CHIMP)\nInfiltration is the unintended and uncontrolled air leaking into a building through intentional and unintentional openings. While infiltration has been used to fulfill outdoor air requirements in buildings\, it is not generally accepted as a “best practice” anymore. But how much infiltration can you expect in a building? Empirical models for infiltration are available but they were developed for low-rise residential buildings. This presentation will present novel ways of modeling infiltration in commercial buildings and the implications on energy use. CHIMP is the Clearing House for Infiltration Modeling Purposes\, which provides a central resource where users can obtain information\, data\, and tools to facilitate the modeling of infiltration in a variety of analysis tools (e.g.\, CONTAM\, EnergyPlus\, etc). Since 2012\, NIST has been developing models\, datasets\, and tools for estimating the effects of infiltration on heating\, ventilating\, and air-conditioning (HVAC) related energy use. CHIMP is the one-stop shop for your infiltration modeling needs and is updated when new work is released. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand what infiltration is\nUnderstand the benefits of modeling infiltration properly\nUnderstand where to find infiltration modeling tools\nUnderstand how to incorporate novel infiltration modeling methods into your workflow\n\n Register Now \nLisa Ng\, PhD\, Acting Division Chief\, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)  \nDr. Lisa Ng is the Group Leader of the Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Group at NIST and has over 13 years of experience in research in airflow and indoor air quality performance in buildings. Her work is focused on airflow and indoor air quality performance in buildings\, with a focus on low energy buildings as well as energy efficiency design and operation strategies in general. She is active in the development of strategies for incorporating more accurate infiltration estimates in building energy models and the application of multizone airflow and indoor air quality (IAQ) models to a range of building performance issues. Lisa is an active member of ASHRAE and IBPSA\, and has collaborated with the ABAA Research Committee on projects related to infiltration modeling and quantifying the impacts of improved airtightness on commercial and residential buildings.

SUMMARY:Path to Net Zero: Beyond Handing Over the Keys 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Path to Net Zero: Beyond Handing Over the Keys\nNet Zero is not a pass/fail scenario. We are designing our buildings to be able to make a net positive outcome\, but if the true operational impacts are not baked into the design are these buildings being set up for failure? Do we have the opportunity to fine tune the operations and set points through partnerships to meet the design intent or is it too late? What if we can time travel back to the beginning and include key stakeholders in the goal setting? This session will present real world net zero design project examples pass and fail scenarios. The lessons learned\, optimized process\, and importance of communication. We will review why projects are not meeting their net zero objectives and what we can do to course correct. We will review the examples of successful delivery process and the players roles to make this project a success. This team will present post occupancy solutions like Whole Building Airtightness\, deep data analysis\, and predictive modeling solutions. The team will express the value of the Owners Project Requirements and demonstrate how key facility operators are to ensure net zero goals are met. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplore the challenges of pursuing Net Zero and how a well-designed building does not always operate as expected.\nDiscuss real-world examples of a Net Zero Energy designed project.\n Investigate how to assess and refine strategies for post-occupancy performance.\nDescribe lessons learned from Net Zero challenges to help plan future building design and operation protocols.\n\n Register Now \nAdam Ugliuzza\, Director of Building Enclosures\, Sustainable Building Partners\, LLC Adam brings 16 years of engineering experience focusing on building science and the building enclosure construction industry.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Building Envelope Performance with Self-Sealing Fasteners & Anchors 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Building Envelope Performance with Self-Sealing Fasteners & Anchors\n1.0 IIBEC credit and 1.0 GBCI credit \nSustainable building envelopes demand high performance from and proper installation of continuous insulation and air\, water\, and vapor control layers. What happens when thousands of holes are made in these materials as they are installed with blind fasteners\, one layer on top of another by different subcontractors? Sequencing issues can generally not be avoided; instead\, this course focuses on self-sealing fasteners as a solution to avoid damage and thermal bridging in insulation and control layers. Various fasteners and anchors are described\, and recommendations are presented for how to specify and what testing data to look for. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the functions of a wall and the air\, water\, vapor\, and thermal control layers that are essential to sustainable\, energy-efficient buildings without excessive moisture penetration.\nExplain how fastener penetrations can cause damage and permit air and water leaks through control layers\, resulting in diminished moisture management and energy efficiency of the building envelope.\nSelect fasteners and anchors capable of self-sealing to manage moisture\, increase energy efficiency\, and ensure sustainable thermal performance of the building envelope.\nDiscuss strategies to easily specify fasteners and anchors tested in complete wall assemblies\, including cladding attachment solutions to ensure sustainable long-term building envelope performance.\n\n\nRegister Now \nJason Wigboldy\, Director of Business Development\, Trufast & SPAX\, Altenloh\, Brinck & Co.

SUMMARY:Unforeseen Impacts of Building Modifications to Envelope Assemblies 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Unforeseen Impacts of Building Modifications to Envelope Assemblies\nThis presentation involves case studies involving renovations\, additions\, and changes of use to buildings which resulted in building envelope failures. Project examples will demonstrate how interior renovations and changes of use and occupancy can negatively affect envelope assemblies\, and how risk can be minimized with proper design solutions\, as well as making sure the end-user is aware of how their interior environmental requirements will affect the building they have decided to occupy. One case study involves a manufacturing facility that was constructed with a low sloped single-ply membrane roofing system. An expansion to the building and changes to its interior environments required elevated internal humidity levels with frequent air exchange rates. These modifications caused the assembly’s structural attachment to the roof deck and parapet walls to fail\, increasing the risk of a blow-off which would have halted its production output and affected its financial bottom line. Additional case studies provide examples of how increases in interior vapor drive negatively affected other similar roofing assemblies\, as well as opaque wall and glazing assemblies due to excessive condensation and deterioration of their system components. Analyses of these buildings were performed\, identifying significant hygrothermal issues which initiated complex designs to repair the observed damage and deterioration. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Recognizing during design how an exterior envelope system will perform after a building’s use and/or occupancy will be altered during a renovation or addition project.\n Why continuous air and vapor control layers within roofing and wall assemblies are necessary to protect their various components\, increase the lifespan of the assemblies\, and benefit the overall well-being of a building’s users.\n Selecting proper glazing systems\, roofing membranes\, air and/or vapor barriers\, and insulation components\, and the importance of transition details from the roof to the wall to maintain the continuity of these barrier systems for protecting the building from both water infiltration and vapor drive.\n How hygrothermal analysis methods can be used to diagnose the negative effects of uncontrolled vapor drive\, as well as inform design solutions for repairs.\n\n\nRegister Now \nMichael Schulz\, AIA\, Associate\, Martin/Martin Consulting Engineers\, Inc \n Michael Schulz is a licensed architect with 26 years of experience who has worked on a diverse spectrum of projects\, from corporate interiors to buildings to bridges. Michael joined Martin/Martin’s Investigative Group in 2012 to focus on the design\, repairs\, and rehabilitation of building envelope systems. He has led multiple projects involving waterproofing repairs\, façade re-cladding\, and re-roofing designs in response to failure investigations\, and applies the knowledge gained from these experiences to consult with designers on their new construction projects by performing peer reviews\, hygrothermal analysis\, and design-assist services. Michael also has experience performing infrared thermography\, providing third-party quality assurance testing\, and is the current Chair of the Colorado Building Enclosure Council (COBEC). \n
