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

SUMMARY:Designing Wall Systems for Specific Climate Zones 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Copying and pasting a wall or roof assembly that works in one part of our country into a project in another part of the country could be not just problematic\, but potentially catastrophic. This presentation will use data and hygrothermal modeling to articulate what happens when tried and true assemblies from one part of the country get moved to a very different climate. More importantly\, we’ll cover strategies to mitigate these issues. While many may be familiar with a Class I Vapor Retarder (“vapor barrier”) in the wrong part of an assembly\, we’ll also cover the impacts of insulation type\, the overreaction to perm ratings\, light-colored roofing membranes\, and reservoir claddings such as stucco and unit masonry. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Learn climate-specific design strategies for durable construction.\n Learn to avoid common mistakes that can lead to mold\, rot\, mildew\, corrosion and decay.\n Understand how hygrothermal modeling can be used in the design process to ensure durability.\n Learn how material properties (permeability\, heat capacity\, density\, conductivity\, and porosity) impact wall assemblies.\n\n\nRegister Now \nJohn Posenecker\, P.E.\nSenior Principal and Regional Facilities Manager\, Terracon Consultants\, Inc. \nMr. Posenecker joined Terracon in March of 2015 and is a registered mechanical engineer. He is a Board Member and Technical Committee Co-Chair for the Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA) and is on the Building Enclosure Council (BEC) National Board. His experience includes the design\, construction\, testing and forensic investigation of building envelope systems. Mr. Posenecker has participated in a wide variety of projects associated with enclosures that include containment systems for commercial nuclear power plants; noise control systems for commercial and institutional projects; and waterproofing systems for wide variety of commercial high-rise and low-rise buildings.

SUMMARY:Tales from the Clipboard: Season 2 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Have you been a participant to a flawed decision in air barrier design and building enclosure improvements? These “gifts” or lessons grow the collective base of functional air barrier retrofit processes and procedures…providing we share our findings. It is from these moments that we are able to grow and utilize building science principles to avoid significant building degradation and functional installation processes. Let’s share the information so others do not have to make the same mistakes and frustrations. We do have to be on the edge in order to move forward. It shows us what is possible. Without these small steps forward we are stuck at idle. Everyone has to learn each of their own lessons\, but if we can help someone avoid the same mistakes\, they can then learn their own lessons to share with others while avoiding costly mistakes. This is a continued excerpt from some of the discovered failings from 20 years of energy audits\, and air barrier inspections. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstanding high pressure flows towards low pressure\nExplain why liquid applied membranes need to be applied at design temperatures\nExplain what will happen if an air barrier and thermal barrier is poorly defined in steel stud construction.\nDescribe basics of a large building blower door test and what could happen if not prepared.\n\n Register Now \nTorrance Kramer\, CEM®\, BECxP\, BPI® BA MF\, LEED® AP President\, Accurate-Airtight Exteriors \nTorrance Kramer is a Certified Energy Manager and is passionate about reducing energy cost and increasing building integrity for his clients. He has completed thousands of comprehensive energy audits on all types of buildings over the last 20 years. Through this it became evident that there was a lack of understanding in the field of building envelope integrity. This led Torrance to focus on specializing in air barrier testing\, repairs\, and general envelope commissioning for the last 15+ years. For the last 10 years\, he has managed and operated Accurate-Airtight Exteriors which provides consulting\, training\, testing\, and repairs of building air and thermal barriers.

SUMMARY:ABAA Contractor Webinar: Air Barrier Flashing Detailing
DESCRIPTION:ABAA Contractor Webinar: Air Barrier Flashing Detailing\nThe realities of construction\, including construction and substrate material tolerances\, an unlimited amount of project-specific detailing\, and different product types and manufacturers\, will directly affect the installation of air barrier detailing and flashings. How the Designer and Contractor detail and install the flashing must consider the realities of construction and product detailing. \nWe will review the many aspects of construction\, what to account for when detailing and installing flashings\, and understand why specific details are needed. Understanding what to account for will provide better design\, documentation\, estimating\, and installation. \nHSW Justification: \nThe health and welfare of the building and its occupants will depend partly on correctly estimating and installing air barrier details. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify typical areas of concern about the design and installation constructability and coordination between all the trades and adjacent building components.\nDiscuss the need for a mock-up and apply testing to the mock-up to confirm assumptions in sequence.\nCreate a sequence and action plan for detailing and materials.\nLearn how to prevent constructability/compatibility issues before construction.\n\nPresented by: Corey Zussman\nQAQC Vice President – AECOM Hunt
