SUMMARY:Sealing Joints in the Building Envelope 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Sealing Joints in the Building Envelope\nJoint failure is one of the most common—and costly—causes of moisture intrusion in buildings. This seminar addresses the often-overlooked disconnect between architects selecting joint sealants and engineers calculating joint movement. When the selected sealant’s movement capability isn’t aligned with actual joint movement\, failure is inevitable. In Sealing the Building Envelope\, participants will gain practical insight into common design oversights and how to avoid them. The program explores: *Why buildings leak: Forces behind moisture ingress and vulnerable locations in the building envelope *Joint types and common design pitfalls: From structural expansion joints to cladding interfaces *Sealant technologies: A comparison of traditional and innovative joint sealant solutions *Design versatility and performance metrics: Covering fire ratings\, acoustics\, thermal values\, and more *Installation best practices: Including quality management strategies and the use of checklists \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Analyze how watertight\, energy efficient\, fire-rated expansion joints are the consequence of a process in which we: Design\, Detail\, Specify\, Bid\, Erect\, Manufacture\, & Install in 3-D.\n Become familiar with product technologies and how to apply them.\n Understand why it is critical to require certified performance reports in your specification.\nKnow that your next building can be a watertight structure.\n\n\nRegister Now \nGlenn Leondike\, Regional Sales Manager\, Emseal Joint Systems \nGlenn Leondike has accumulated over 13 years of valuable experience in the construction industry\, specializing in waterproofing solutions. Prior to his tenure at EMSEAL Joint Systems\, where he has excelled for over a decade\, Glenn served as a waterproofing estimator at Chamberlain Roofing and Waterproofing.

SUMMARY:Development of Non-Destructive /Non-Invasive Techniques for Assessing Building Envelope Performance: Air Leakage & High Moisture 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Development of Non-Destructive /Non-Invasive Techniques for Assessing Building Envelope Performance: Air Leakage & High Moisture\nAssessing the performance of building envelopes is becoming more important\, especially when retrofitting existing buildings. Using non-destructive methods for these assessments is ideal because they are usually quicker and cheaper than destructive means. In this presentation we will discuss available non-destructive and non-invasive technologies for assessing the building envelope and then describe two novel techniques being developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The first is an application of background oriented Schlieren photography to enable visualization and even measurement of air flow from leakage points in the building envelope. The second technology uses radar to look inside the building envelope to measure the moisture content of wood sheathing\, a critical layer when assessing the envelopes moisture durability. For each of these technologies we will explain how they work and our progress in developing them for eventual commercialization. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Describe widely used non-destructive testing techniques to assess the building envelope.\n Discuss why locating and sealing air leakage in building is important.\nExplain how cameras can be used to see air leakage.\nExplain how radar can be used to measure moisture content.\n\n\nRegister Now \nPhilip Boudreaux\, R&D Staff\, Oak Ridge National Laboratory \nPhilip Boudreaux is an R & D associate staff member in the Building Envelope Materials Research Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His training and early career experience is in physics and optics and since 2008 has been working in the building research area. Over the past few years he has been able to apply his past optics expertise to buildings. He is working on non-intrusive testing techniques so that building performance assessment can be done easier\, quicker\, and cheaper. This will better enable building retrofits that save energy and decrease emissions.

SUMMARY:Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx)\nAs the construction industry evolves\, Building Envelope Commissioning (BECx) is emerging as a crucial practice that building owners increasingly recognize for its value across new construction\, retrofits\, and existing buildings. With rising expectations for weathertightness and energy efficiency\, the role of the building envelope in overall performance\, operational costs\, and occupant wellbeing has never been more critical. In this session\, we will explore the foundations of BECx\, which adapts the commissioning processes traditionally applied to MEP (Mechanical\, Electrical\, and Plumbing) systems\, extending those principles to the building enclosure. Attendees will gain insights into the current state of BECx standards\, certifications\, and execution practices\, which are rapidly evolving. This discussion will address the benefits of integrating BECx into the project to enhance building performance and meet modern energy demands. We will also highlight case studies showcasing successful BECx implementation\, emphasizing the benefits of this proactive approach. Join us to deepen your understanding of BECx and equip yourself with the basic knowledge needed for implementation\, ensuring your projects not only meet but exceed the growing expectations of building owners and occupants alike. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Become familiar with the history\, goals\, and benefits of BECx\n Explore existing BECx standards and references\n Be able to identify BECx acronyms and discuss the role of those tasks\nReview the importance of following a disciplined process\n\n\nRegister Now \nCharlie O’Connor\, IIBEC CBECxP\, President\, Advanced Enclosure Consulting \nCharlie O’Connor holds a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering and a Masters in Construction Management.

SUMMARY:Case Study on ICF Panel Waterproofing Failures 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION: Case Study on ICF Panel Waterproofing Failures\nThis is a case study on Construction Defects in a $1.3 million new home built with insulated concrete forms (aka ICF panels). ICF is becoming increasingly popular for custom homes and DIYers\, but many details are hard to find\, and many trades are unfamiliar with their unique requirements. In this session\, we will walk you through the process from the first leak detection and all the way to litigation. We will describe our non-destructive testing\, including leak detection\, mold testing\, blower door testing\, infrared thermography and\, my favorite part\, destructive testing. The general contractor was new to building with ICF panels and made one major mistake: assuming they were effectively airtight and watertight. The significant defects included poorly installed foundation waterproofing\, failure to flash the window/door rough openings\, failure to install through-wall flashings and discontinuity between the roof and wall flashings. Generally\, they failed to create a continuous exterior air and water barrier system at every opportunity. We will discuss the pros and cons of ICF construction and identify the necessary waterproofing and flashing requirements. We will also discuss the conflicts between the ICF requirements and those of other trades\, including carpentry\, masonry\, windows\, and roofing. We will review the necessary scope required to remediate the defects to give the homeowners a safe and dry home. We will then touch on our steps to prepare for a difficult litigation process. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplain key design and construction principles of insulated concrete form (ICF) assemblies.\n Identify effective waterproofing methods for ICF foundations.\n Describe proper flashing techniques for window and door openings in ICF walls.\nSummarize testing\, documentation\, and reporting processes used to investigate and support claims involving construction defects.\n\n\nRegister Now \nMichael Williams\, RRC\, RWC\, RRO\, RPA\, RCIF\, CCMI\, BECxP\, CxA+BE\, CIT 1\, President\, Building Envelope Consulting \nMichael Williams hand-nailed his first shingle roof in the summer of 1980 (when Jimmy Carter was still president) and has been in the roofing\, waterproofing and building enclosure business ever since. He started his own roofing company in Nebraska in 1992\, specializing in the installation of standing seam and architectural metal products. Michael sold his company and moved to the Washington DC area in 2000 and became a roofing and waterproofing consultant for a local engineering firm and over the next decade became an expert at built up and single ply roofing\, exterior walls\, plaza decks\, coatings\, flashing\, air barriers\, doors and windows. He established Building Envelope Consulting\, LLC\, in 2010.

SUMMARY:NIST Clearing House for Infiltration Modeling Purposes (CHIMP) 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:NIST Clearing House for Infiltration Modeling Purposes (CHIMP)\nInfiltration is the unintended and uncontrolled air leaking into a building through intentional and unintentional openings. While infiltration has been used to fulfill outdoor air requirements in buildings\, it is not generally accepted as a “best practice” anymore. But how much infiltration can you expect in a building? Empirical models for infiltration are available but they were developed for low-rise residential buildings. This presentation will present novel ways of modeling infiltration in commercial buildings and the implications on energy use. CHIMP is the Clearing House for Infiltration Modeling Purposes\, which provides a central resource where users can obtain information\, data\, and tools to facilitate the modeling of infiltration in a variety of analysis tools (e.g.\, CONTAM\, EnergyPlus\, etc). Since 2012\, NIST has been developing models\, datasets\, and tools for estimating the effects of infiltration on heating\, ventilating\, and air-conditioning (HVAC) related energy use. CHIMP is the one-stop shop for your infiltration modeling needs and is updated when new work is released. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand what infiltration is\nUnderstand the benefits of modeling infiltration properly\nUnderstand where to find infiltration modeling tools\nUnderstand how to incorporate novel infiltration modeling methods into your workflow\n\n Register Now \nLisa Ng\, PhD\, Acting Division Chief\, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)  \nDr. Lisa Ng is the Group Leader of the Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Group at NIST and has over 13 years of experience in research in airflow and indoor air quality performance in buildings. Her work is focused on airflow and indoor air quality performance in buildings\, with a focus on low energy buildings as well as energy efficiency design and operation strategies in general. She is active in the development of strategies for incorporating more accurate infiltration estimates in building energy models and the application of multizone airflow and indoor air quality (IAQ) models to a range of building performance issues. Lisa is an active member of ASHRAE and IBPSA\, and has collaborated with the ABAA Research Committee on projects related to infiltration modeling and quantifying the impacts of improved airtightness on commercial and residential buildings.
