SUMMARY:AIVC/TightVent/INIVE Ensuring Reliable Airtightness Measurements: Airtightness Tester Qualification Across Countries
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nThe qualification of airtightness testers plays a key role in ensuring the reliability\, consistency\, and credibility of building airtightness measurements\, which are essential for energy performance assessment\, indoor environmental quality\, and compliance with building regulations. Over the past decades\, several countries and professional organizations have developed qualification and certification schemes for airtightness testers in order to improve measurement quality and increase confidence in reported results. \nIn some countries\, qualification schemes are closely linked to regulatory requirements and mandatory testing procedures. In France\, for example\, the implementation of building energy regulations has been accompanied by approved qualification schemes for testers\, certification procedures\, and national databases collecting airtightness test results to support quality control and statistical analysis. \nIn other contexts\, qualification schemes are developed and managed by professional associations. Examples include ATTMA (Air Tightness Testing & Measurement Association) in the United Kingdom and ABAA (Air Barrier Association of America) in the U.S.\, which promote technical competence\, harmonized practices\, and third-party quality assurance. These qualification frameworks are also used and referenced internationally. \nThis webinar will present and compare these different approaches to the qualification of airtightness testers. \nThis webinar is organized with the support of TightVent Europe (www.tightvent.eu) and AIVC (www.aivc.org). Both initiatives are facilitated by INIVE (www.inive.org). \nAgenda (CET- Brussels\, BE) \n\n2:00PM | Introduction on the qualification of airtightness testers across 16 countries\, Nolwenn Hurel (Cerema\, France)\n2:05PM | Qualification Process for Air Tightness Testers in the UK\, Paul Carling (BCTA\, UK)\n2:20PM | Questions and answers\n2:30PM | Qualification of airtightness testers in the USA – The ABAA experience\, Laverne Dalgleish (ABAA\, USA)\n2:45PM | Questions and answers\n2:55PM | Qualification of airtightness testers in France – Feedback after 15 years\, Valérie Leprince (Cerema\, France)\n3:10PM | Questions and answers\n3:30PM | End of webinar

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.

SUMMARY:ABAA Contractor Webinar: ABAA Guidelines - Roof to Wall Transitions
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the ABAA has developed a set of educational construction details for the challenging roof-to-wall air barrier connection? \nThese conceptual details have been developed by the Transitions\, Terminations\, and Flashings committee to act as a technical resource for the industry and we are excited to talk about them! A tremendous amount of work has gone into the development of this resource\, and we are happy to have them now available online. \nThis presentation will review typical roof-to-wall transition details commonly seen in new construction buildings today. \nWe encourage all in attendance to download the details in advance and come with any questions. \nDownload the ABAA Roof to Wall Conceptual Details \nPresenter: Adam Ugliuzza\, Partner – Building Enclosures Group \nThis webinar is exclusive to the ABAA contractor members.   \nContact Us to Register \n  \n

SUMMARY:Skin Deep Efficiency: Engineering Performance-Driven Facades 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Building façades play a critical role in shaping energy performance\, occupant comfort\, durability\, and architectural identity. This course explores how façade and cladding systems influence building efficiency through thermal control\, daylighting\, solar management\, and material selection. Participants will examine performance-driven design strategies that balance aesthetics with measurable building outcomes\, while also considering constructability\, code compliance\, and long-term sustainability goals. Through real-world examples and practical design considerations\, attendees will learn how to evaluate façade systems in the context of energy codes\, façade safety requirements\, and urban building performance demands. The course will also introduce fundamental performance analysis methods –including energy modeling and daylight simulation tools –to support informed decision-making during the design process. Emphasis will be placed on understanding trade-offs between architectural expression and building performance\, enabling participants to develop façade solutions that align with project objectives\, occupant needs\, and environmental responsibility. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nAnalyze how different façade and cladding systems influence thermal performance\, energy consumption\, and daylighting outcomes in building design.\nApply design strategies –such as glazing optimization\, shading integration\, and material selection –to improve façade performance and occupant comfort.\nEvaluate façade systems in the context of applicable building codes and standards\, including energy codes and façade safety requirements in urban environments.\nIntegrate performance-driven criteria with architectural intent to achieve designs that balance aesthetics\, sustainability\, and constructability.\n\nRegister Now \nManan Raval\, PE\, Partner – Building Envelope/Facade Engineering\, Hatfield Group \n Manan Raval\, PE is Partner for Facades and Envelopes at Hatfield Group.
