SUMMARY:The Building Science Aspects of Enclosure Detailing and Tie-Ins 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:The Building Science Aspects of Enclosure Detailing and Tie-Ins\nThe building enclosure is made up of many material types\, with the predominant need of protecting the building from water infiltration. In addition\, materials and tie-ins are critical to control air flow\, understand thermal bridging and risks of surface condensation\, and the control and flow of moisture by vapor diffusion. Sequencing of the details and tie-ins also have to consider sequencing by the trades\, material compatibility\, and durability\, including impacts of seasonal cycling. \nThis talk will focus on looking at the full building science considerations of detailing\, including materials that play one or more role as a control layer for heat\, air and moisture. The speaker will also discuss constructability and trade sequencing considerations. These are critical things to understand in designing and configuring details\, in addition to how they are presented in design drawing and shop drawing sets. This includes understanding how to integrate manufacturer standard details at interfaces such as roof to wall between roofing and wall air and water barriers and cladding. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nGain building science knowledge in configurations of details and what elements are controlling which types of flow paths for heat\, air and moisture.\nHave a deeper understanding of detail sequencing considering material compatibility\, as well as sequencing of the trades.\n Gain knowledge in layering for durability\, while also examining the build up of layers and thicknesses against construction constraints.\nBe able to describe and detail layering and sequencing critical to understand in design drawings and shop drawings for building enclosure systems.\n\nRegister Now \nPaul Totten\, PE\, LEED AP\, Senior Vice President\, WSP \nPaul E. Totten is a Senior Vice President at WSP and leads the Building Enclosures Division. He has over 28 years of experience in the fields of structural engineering\, building enclosure design and commissioning\, and building science. He has concentrated his expertise on the evaluation and analysis of heat\, air\, and moisture transfer\, and the cumulative effect these elements have on building components and building operation. \n

SUMMARY:Ron Blank/ABAA Blown Away: Unmasking the Secrets of Whole Building Airtightness Testing
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Denali Jones\, P.E.\, ABAA \nCEU: 1 AIA LU/HSW\, 1 AAA\, 1 AIBD\, 1 BOMI\, 1 FBPE\, 1 ICC\, 1 OAA\, 1 SAA \nRegister Here \nWhole building airtightness testing has been a code compliance option in the International Energy Conservation Code and ASHRAE 90.1 for some time. That compliance option was rarely used and only became mandatory as part of building owners’ requirements or a specific state or jurisdictional requirement that was limited to one or two states. As we moved towards Net Zero\, building codes “tightened” up\, and it is expected this will become a test that is mandatory on a more countrywide basis. It seems that time has arrived\, with many states now requiring mandatory whole building airtightness testing. As we move toward those requirements\, it is important to understand the latest in test methods\, current and projected code requirements\, how to specify the test properly\, coordination needed with the construction team\, and what type of pre-qualifications exist that you can rely upon. \n Learning Objectives: \n\nIdentify the current building code requirements on both the national and local levels\, plus the must-know details of eco-friendly building programs that are trending right now.\nArticulate what the airtightness test provides and how those results can be used to improve the building enclosure.\nDefine the differences among the various test methods available as code or specification options.\nReview guide specification sample language and typical pitfalls in current specifications.\nIdentify credentialing programs that can help you find pre-qualifications of testing personnel for large buildings.

SUMMARY:Lessons Learned: Trades that Need to Include an AVB Discussion in their Specification & Preinstallation Meetings  1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Lessons Learned: Trades that Need to Include an AVB Discussion in their Specification & Preinstallation Meetings\nWhen designing a building envelope wall system\, specifying\, detailing\, and having a pre-installation discussion about the backup substrate and façade elements\, considering the water\, air\, vapor\, and insulation systems detailing\, is critical. This involves careful coordination with all façade trade elements\, consideration of construction and installation tolerances\, addressing the installation requirements for the substrate wall\, water and air resistive barriers\, insulation\, and façade support system\, and learning lessons from each installation. Each component must be thoroughly understood and specified within their respective specification sections to ensure comprehensive detailing. By understanding the necessary connections\, material compatibility\, tested systems\, and limitations of construction materials\, you can develop pre-installation conversation points within each building envelope and substrate meetings to proactively develop an advanced conversation about detailing\, grasping the construction requirements for each component and incorporating lessons learned will enhance future detailing and specifications will significantly improve the chances of project success. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify early structural design considerations needed to maintain air\, vapor\, water\, insulation\, and rainscreen systems in bid documents.\nIncorporate construction tolerances when detailing substrate walls and control layers for various façade systems.\nRecognize common substrate and façade wall systems and the detailing needed to coordinate drawings and specifications.\nApply lessons learned on continuity\, fastening\, membranes\, and system tolerances to improve coordination and guide pre-installation meetings.\n\nRegister Now \nCorey Zussman\, AIA\, NCARB\, ALA (IL\, IN\, WI)\, RBEC\, RRC\, REWC\, RWC\, RRO\, CABS\, CCQM\, CDT\, CQM\, CxA+BE\, BECxP\, LEED AP BD+C\, Level II Thermographer\, QA/QC Vice President\, AECOM Hunt Construction \n As a forensic architect registered in several states\, Corey Zussman has practiced in the construction industry for over 30 years.

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.
