Navigating the Complexities of Expansion Joint System Installation for Stadium Construction 1.0 CEU/HSW
2026-01-15 13:00 - 14:00
Navigating the Complexities of Expansion Joint System Installation for Stadium Construction
The installation of expansion joint systems in stadium construction presents unique challenges due to the structural demands and operational requirements of these large-scale venues. This presentation will explore the technical intricacies associated with planning, coordinating, and executing expansion joint system installations with particular emphasis on the critical role of effective interfacing with various substrates and the extensive logistical coordination required for a seamless, water-tight installation. Key discussion points will include the process of ensuring proper preparation and alignment with various substrates, which are often subject to irregularities and environmental conditions that could impact the performance and longevity of the joint systems. This presentation will reference a confidential new NFL stadium on the East Coast and analyze the importance of pre-installation assessment, surface preparation, and substrate compatibility in addressing and/or minimizing issues that could lead to system failure or compromised system integrity.
Learning Objectives:

Identify the Role and Importance of Expansion Joint Systems in Large-Scale Stadium Projects
Examine Best Practices for Interfacing Expansion Joints with Concrete Substrates
Analyze Logistical and Sequencing Challenges in Expansion Joint Installation
Identify Common Types of Expansion Joint Materials and Installation Challenges

Air Barrier Embodied Carbon: A Critical Review 1.0 CEU/HSW
2026-01-22 13:00 - 14:00
Air Barrier Embodied Carbon: A Critical Review
The session will start with a review of embodied carbon impacts applied to air barriers. This will include a comparison of published air barrier embodied carbon values, varying assessment methodologies, and their limitations. A recommended approach of evaluating embodied carbon impacts based on clear field and linear/point impacts similar to modern thermal performance analysis will be presented. The impacts of this approach will be illustrated using example building envelope assemblies. A number of common project air barrier considerations will be discussed including: the use of membranes under exterior spray foam applications, the use of liquid applied air barriers on masonry when applying interior fibrous insulation, and the use of loose sheet vs liquid applied or self-adhered air barriers. This session will be of interest to a range of participants: manufacturer’s will be interested in the review of environmental product declarations (EPDs) and how it may affect their systems; professionals will be interested in the insights and approaches offered and application to their practices in selecting systems and reporting embodied carbon impacts. The session be a great targeted introduction for contractors and others in the industry with an interest in embodied carbon applications to their field of work.
Learning Objectives:

Identify the embodied carbon impact stage for air barrier
Determine Clear Field vs Linear Impacts
Illustrate the impact of air barrier on the embodied carbon of building envelope assemblies
Identify the impacts of common air barrier strategy selections

Dispelling the Myths about Building Enclosure Warranties 1.0 CEU/HSW
2026-01-29 13:00 - 14:00
Dispelling the Myths about Building Enclosure Warranties
Building Envelope System Warranties are becoming more sought after and bring some real value to a building owner – they help manage risk and obtain peace of mind. What constitutes a building enclosure system warranty? Can such a warranty be attained under one umbrella of coverage? Our industry understands how critical it is to ensure building enclosure protection from water, air, and thermal intrusion, at every level, and at every transition, but is our industry ready for shift in practices to make this a reality for building owners? In a world aiming to minimize financial exposure, system warranties are a good option. But are they really that simple to specify and implement? Join us to learn more about building enclosure system warranties, the value they bring, what they are, how to specify them, and what to look out for during the build process.
Learning Objectives:

Explain the scale and causes of building enclosure failures as a billion-dollar annual issue and describe why performance specifications – defining performance, functional, and technical requirements – are essential to reducing these failures.
Identify and interpret key contract terms, conditions, and warranties, and analyze how they assign responsibilities among parties and outline remedies in cases of claims or breaches.
Differentiate between full system warranties, component warranties, and workmanship warranties, and evaluate how full building envelope warranties align with Building Code compliance and the performance expectations of components that are moderately difficult to access or replace.
Distinguish the coverage terms of various whole building envelope warranties and apply this understanding to appropriately incorporate warranty requirements into project specifications

Prefabricated Exterior Wall Assemblies: Herding Cats in Hard Hats 1.0 CEU/HSW
2026-02-26 13:00 - 14:00
Prefabricated Exterior Wall Assemblies: Herding Cats in Hard Hats
Prefabrication of exterior wall assemblies has been explored since the 1920s and 1930s, so the concept of their use is nothing new to the built environment. Today, the construction industry’s focus is ensuring continuity of air, water, and thermal barriers—regardless of whether wall assemblies are built in the field or in a shop. Prefabricated exterior wall systems are designed to meet these requirements. This presentation will introduce perspectives from both a General Contractor involved in delegated design and a building enclosure consultant who reviews design, fabrication, and installation. Case studies will highlight code and industry inspection requirements, review processes, and lessons learned in coordinating prefabricated assemblies with other trades. Presenters will include Colton Howard with Terracon supporting Kayla Maines, and we plan to bring in a prefabrication manufacturer to share their viewpoint.
Learning Objectives:

Describe the history and different types of prefabricated exterior wall panels.
Contracting and coordinating the delegated design process with the applicable trade partners. Turn-Key, Means & Methods, and who owns the details?
Review applicable codes and standards and methods for testing and inspecting these assemblies.
Demonstrate the process of designing and construction of the prefabricated exterior wall assembly and how it incorporates the air, thermal and water barriers within it.
