SUMMARY:Above-Grade to Below-Grade Continuity: Applications\, Performance\, and Details  1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION: Above-Grade to Below-Grade Continuity: Applications\, Performance\, and Details\nIn the world of high-performance building enclosures\, the transition from above-grade wall systems to below-grade waterproofing continuity requires more than just high-quality products; it demands a sophisticated understanding of how systems interact across disparate assemblies. This technical webinar dives deep into the “gap” that often exists between the architectural facade and the foundation. We will explore the fundamental criteria for whole-building airtightness and define the specific challenges of various enclosure types\, occupancies\, and design criteria. Participants will gain a comprehensive overview of modern waterproofing technologies\, comparing liquid-applied\, self-adhered\, and sheet membranes. The session will contrast vertical and horizontal applications\, as well as the unique detailing requirements for pre-applied vs. post-applied systems. Through a series of detailed transition scenarios\, including above-grade walls to below-grade footings and horizontal plaza waterproofing. Beyond the technical drawings\, we will discuss the “human” side of building science: specifying for success. We will cover how to eliminate scope gaps and foster essential coordination between designers\, manufacturers\, and contractors to ensure a seamless\, high-performance building enclosure. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nAnalyze the critical role of whole-building enclosure continuity for building performance.\nIdentify appropriate waterproofing technologies for various above- and below-grade scenarios.\nApply robust detailing strategies for transitions between above-grade and below-grade systems\nDevelop clear specifications that facilitate coordination and eliminate technical gaps.\n\nRegister Now \nBenjamin Meyer\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, Building Enclosure Business Director\, Siplast \nBenjamin Meyer is the Building Enclosure Business Director with Siplast.

SUMMARY:Warmer\, Wetter and Windier: Future Proofing Your Building Enclosure for Extreme Weather 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Warmer\, Wetter and Windier: Future Proofing Your Building Enclosure for Extreme Weather\nBuilding enclosure design has always been driven in part by the ability to moderate the outdoor environmental conditions and maintain an operational indoor environment. The demand on building enclosures is evolving rapidly as changing climatic conditions require the design to mitigate more intense weather events. Climate variables such as increased rainfall\, rising or falling temperatures\, more extreme winds\, or more frequent intense storms can impact building enclosure design in different ways and require specific design strategies to reliably perform during extreme weather. Incorporating resiliency measures can help ensure buildings maintain their functional use and prevent losses during utility outages. \nThis presentation will begin with an overview of climate forecasting and adapting the project requirements to the future needs of various building types. The discussion will focus on the implementation of specific construction approaches from schematic design through construction and integration. Each approach will be considered with respect to reducing operational energy use through strategies such as increased insulation\, increased air tightness\, and optimal daylight design. We will investigate enclosure assemblies that may have performed adequately in the past but in a changing climate no longer provide adequate control. We will investigate building enclosure assembly selection to prioritize increased resiliency and durability\, including redundant passive systems. Reuse and adaptation of the existing building stock will be investigated. Finally\, the design approach must consider the ability to maintain comfortable or operable interior conditions during catastrophic events. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify changing climatic conditions that influence enclosure design such as increased wetting\, changing vapor diffusion\, shifting heating/cooling loads\, and increased wind loads.\nUnderstand how a changing climate can influence criteria for the overall building design such as wind funneling\, pedestrian comfort\, snow drifting\, stack effect\, flooding\, and ice/snow accumulation.\nPrioritize enclosure design strategies for durability\, reduced maintenance\, reuse\, and resiliency\nInvestigate how previously successful enclosure assemblies may no longer perform adequately due to climate change.\n\nRegister Now \nDavid Altenhofen\, FAIA\, Senior Technical Director\, RWDI \nDavid W.

SUMMARY:Whole Building Air Tightness Tests: Building Preparation and Sampling 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Whole Building Air Tightness Tests: Building Preparation and Sampling\nAll measurement tests inherently have error associated with the testing procedures\, and whole building airtightness is no exception. Whole building airtightness testing is typically performed on construction sites\, for buildings of various size and shape\, sometimes still in various stages of construction. Different techniques are often used to prepare buildings for the test. This includes methods for temporary sealing of intentional openings. Currently\, the degree of error associated with different techniques is unknown. This presentation will review different techniques for preparing and testing large scale buildings\, review the results of over 200 large scale whole building airtightness tests\, and look at the comparative results from different methods of building preparation to assess the potential error associated with different building preparation techniques. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the different methods of temporary sealing and building preparations required before testing\nDescribe the relative effectiveness of different building preparation methods\n Understand the function of a whole building air barrier test\nPredict what methods of preparation will lead to tighter test results\n\nRegister Now \nBrad Carmichael\, PE\, BEMP\, CPHC\, Principal\, 4EA Building Science \nBrad has been consulting on building enclosures throughout North America for over a decade. Brad is passionate about good design and the role it can play in social and environmental stewardship.
