SUMMARY:Megapanel Mania: Prefabricated Exterior Wall Assemblies 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Prefabrication of exterior wall systems and assemblies is a growing trend in the construction industry. There are many terms used to describe this process (panelized\, modularized\, unitized\, etc.) and the definition and scope of prefabrication can be as unique as the project itself.  For many projects\, the exterior walls are anticipated to be panelized or unitized from the start as is often the case with precast concrete panels and aluminum-frame curtain wall systems. However\, sometimes modularization is proposed by the construction team after design is complete as a means of expediting the schedule\, addressing site access constraints\, and/or lowering project costs. The presenters will describe different types of panelized exterior wall assemblies and will present a case study regarding a 10-story\, 700\,000 square foot healthcare facility that utilized megapanel exterior wall construction.  The change to a panelized approach occurred after the design was complete\, resulting in challenges associated with continuity of air\, water\, and thermal control layers\, particularly at the interface conditions. Perspectives and lessons learned from the building enclosure commissioning provider (BECxP) and contractor’s building enclosure consultant for this project will also be offered. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand various exterior wall prefabrication techniques and several advantages and drawbacks of panelized construction.\nDemonstrate an understanding of building science and the impacts of megapanel joinery and transitions with respect to building enclosure performance and continuity of air\, water\, thermal\, and vapor control layers.\nAppreciate challenges associated with integrating exterior wall and roof construction in panelized assemblies.\nDescribe building enclosure quality assurance and quality control efforts that can be performed in the prefabrication facility\, for mock-ups\, and at the construction site.\n\nRegister Now \nSarah Sinusas\, PE\, Senior Associate\, Wiss\, Janney\, Elstner Associates \nSarah Sinusas is a Senior Associate at Wiss\, Janney\, Elstner Associates Inc.

SUMMARY:Buildings Move\, Buildings Leak: Revisiting the Critical Link Between Engineering Mechanics and Enclosure Performance 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:“Systems thinking” is a term that is discussed at times in Building Science. But what if systems thinking asks us to consider more factors in the long term viability of enclosure integrity? While the relationship between structural movement and a structure’s usefulness to its intended purpose has been well developed throughout the history of design and construction\, that understanding has not always translated well into satisfactory enclosure performance. \nDrawing on experiences in post-construction forensic investigations\, troubleshooting during construction\, and efforts to influence design detailing\, this presentation will discuss key factors in applying engineering mechanics for the benefit (or detriment) of enclosure performance. Specific aspects to be shared will include the cross-party dynamics in design and construction that give rise to current challenges\, case studies of failures as a result of insufficient consideration\, and areas for improvement across the design and construction industry. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nParticipants will develop a better understanding of the relationship between movement of materials and enclosure integrity\nParticipants will gain perspective around what should be considered minimum baseline requirements for performance specifications particular to accommodating movement\nParticipants will learn about case studies where enclosure systems were compromised or even failed as a result of limited awareness around building movement\nParticipants will see examples that reinforce the connection between effective project collaboration and desired performance of the enclosure\n\nRegister Now \nJon Porter\, P.E. (MN)\, Associate AIA\, Director of Building Science\, Kraus-Anderson Construction Company \nJon Porter is the Director of Building Science at Kraus Anderson Construction. In his role at KA\, Jon focuses on building performance\, particularly the exterior enclosure and interior finishes.

SUMMARY:What the Heck are Air Barriers\, Vapor Barriers\, and Water-Resistive Barriers? A Simplified Look at Air Barriers & Thermal Bridging 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:These terms are often described as simple—so why is there so much confusion? This presentation explains what air barriers\, vapor barriers\, and water-resistive barriers are\, and when a single material may serve more than one function. That overlap is often where misunderstandings arise. The session explores which barriers are critical\, which may be less so\, and how their role can change depending on where they are installed within the building envelope. The impact of thermal bridging on barrier performance is also examined. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Define air\, vapor\, and water-resistive barriers\nIdentify the various ways water can enter a building\n Explain why hidden conditions often present the greatest risk\n Recognize which barriers are critical to building performance\n\nRegister Now \nLaverne Dalgleish\, Executive Director\, Air Barrier Association of America \nLaverne Dalgleish is the Executive Director of the Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA). As such\, he works to champion energy conservation in buildings while educating the building owners and designers about the benefits of energy conservation such as durability\, comfort\, reduced maintenance\, reduced HVAC equipment costs and the positive impact on the environment. \nMr. Dalgleish travels North America on a weekly basis to educate building owners and designers on the benefits of effective and working air barrier systems in buildings. This education mission includes working with standards development organizations\, training and education groups\, government policy departments\, and quality assurance program developers for the construction industry. Mr. Dalgleish is the Secretariat of two ISO Committees\, ISO TC61 SC10 Cellular Plastics and ISO TC163 SC3 Thermal Insulation Products. He is also Chair of the ULC Thermal Performance in the Building Environment Standards Committee. \nMr. Dalgleish was the key developer of the ABAA Quality Assurance Program for the installation of air barrier systems in buildings. This program is based on ISO9000 and ISO 12576-2 but brings the ISO requirements together with practical applications for the air barrier industry.
