SUMMARY:BE Live - Energy Efficiency Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Building Enclosure Live – Energy Efficiency Symposium\n\nDevelopment and Adoption of Air Leakage in Building Codes\nAll Codes are Local\nSponsored by Air Barrier Association of America | Presented by Theresa A. Weston \nLive Webinar Airing on October 16\, 2025 at 11:00 AM ET \nRegister \nModel energy efficiency codes (ASHRAE 90.1 & International Energy Efficiency Code (IECC)) are under continuous maintenance and publish an updated edition every three years. The energy code\, however\, does not become a regulation until it is adopted by a state or jurisdiction. Therefore the timeline for updating varies by individual jurisdiction. Further\, the adopted code must than be enforced by local authorities. This presentation will discuss the development of air leakage requirements in the model energy codes for commercial buildings. It will then describe the status of adoption of model codes by the states. Finally\, the implications for enforcement through whole building airtightness testing of the adopted code will be discussed. \n\nDesigning Roofs to Withstand Nature’s Worst\nKey Considerations to Help Your Roof Withstand the Next Big One\nSponsored by Air Barrier Association of America | Presented by Andrea Wagner Watts and Erin Andes\, PE \nLive Webinar Airing on October 16\, 2025 at 01:00 PM ET \nRegister \nAs the saying goes\, when nature is at its worst\, buildings need to be at their best. Roofs at their base level are designed to keep weather out. As weather gets more extreme\, roofs are being asked to withstand even more: manage more water\, defend against larger hail and stay on during high winds. \nDuring this webinar\, you will learn about the new wind requirements in ASCE 2022\, best practices for designing for very severe hail\, and ways to manage water from large rain events.

SUMMARY:Achieving a High-Performance Air Barrier System  1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Achieving a High-Performance Air Barrier System\nAir Barriers are an extremely important component of a high-performance building enclosure system. For the most part\, these systems are non-maintainable components and repairs can typically only be made with the removal of the exterior cladding system. To ensure a performing system\, proper design\, detailing and ultimately the proper installation of these systems is extremely important. You have one chance to get it right. Come learn about important design considerations\, how to properly detail critical interfaces\, key items to include in your specifications\, proper installation techniques\, quality control and testing parameters for a variety of air barrier systems in use today. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscuss how air barriers are part of a high-performance building and how they control air and moisture movement\, improve insulation performance and reduce energy needs of buildings\nReview key design considerations\, critical interfaces for continuity\, material performance requirements and specification language for the proper design and selection of the air barrier assembly\nIdentify the typical installation requirements of a variety of air barrier materials and assemblies and common installation issues observed in the field\nDiscuss the importance of proper construction sequencing\, coordination of sub-trades\, testing and inspection criteria\, how to identify installation defects and remedial action required during the construction phase\n\nRegister Now \nDenali Jones\, P.E.\, Technical Director\, ABAA \nDenali is an engineer focused on building enclosures for his entire career.

SUMMARY:ABAA Contractor Webinar: Building Science Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:Buildings are designed to separate indoor and outdoor environments\, but differences between them create forces that challenge the building envelope. Key demands include managing liquid water\, air\, heat\, and water vapor flows. While these concepts seem simple\, their complexities often lead to confusion\, such as distinguishing between air and vapor barriers. \nThis presentation explores how these flows impact building envelope performance and its essential functions. \nLearning Objectives: \n– Understand some of the myths regarding vapor\, air and thermal transfer\n– Identify the concept of “Building as a System” and how the building enclosure relates to this\n– Explain the forces of moisture\, air and heat flow\, as applicable to a building\n– Define how to control these forces effectively to save energy and reduce risk of moisture damage \nThis webinar is exclusive to the ABAA contractor members.  Please reach out to lhardman@airbarrier.org to register.

SUMMARY:Predicting Rooftop Surface Temperature Extremes and Impact on Air Barrier Tie-Ins 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Predicting Rooftop Surface Temperature Extremes and Impact on Air Barrier Tie-Ins\nRoofing system surfaces can get hot\, sometimes extremely hot due to climatic and indoor design conditions\, direct and reflected solar radiation exposure\, and radiative heat transfer with surrounding objects. Roof surface color\, the position and color of adjacent objects\, as well as the thermal properties of materials are key parameters that greatly influence roofing system peak temperatures. An adjacent parapet wall\, metal coping cover may experience similar surface temperature conditions. Critical rainwater and air control layers transition between roofing and façade systems at the parapet. Designs are complex and rely on tie-ins to allow for differential movement between the parapet wall and roof membrane. Transition membranes many times address scope-of-work issues between roofing and wall air barrier system trade responsibilities. Flashing membranes that maintain the continuity of air and water-resistive barrier systems have upper service temperature limits that vary between 180°F and 300°F. Identifying the parameters controlling climate specific\, rooftop surface temperature extremes will help designers specify the thermal performance requirements for flashing membranes. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nParticipants will be able to list the key factors influencing tie-in temperatures for continuous air barrier systems across roof\, parapet\, and façade assemblies.\nParticipants will understand the impact of solar reflection from adjacent elements on roof\, parapet\, and façade system temperatures\, and identify scenarios that may require high-temperature-rated air barrier system tie-in membranes.\nDescribe the process to simulate and visualize roof\, parapet\, and facade system heat transfer.\nParticipants will understand how temperature rating requirements for tie-in membranes vary across climate zones.\n\n\nRegister Now \nStanley D.
