SUMMARY:BE and the High C’s: Specification Writing with Enclosure Consultants in Perfect Pitch 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:The 4 C’s—Clear\, Correct\, Concise\, and Complete—form the foundation of effective technical and specification writing. Building Enclosure Consultants (BECs)\, however\, may not be fluent in the language of specifications\, often viewing it as a misunderstood second language. As a result\, the work of specification writing becomes doubly challenging when collaborating with BECs. \nThis session explores the range of building enclosure consulting scopes and processes that directly influence building enclosure specifications\, including Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx)\, which is rapidly becoming both a high-performance building expectation and a code-driven requirement. To bring this sometimes-awkward working duet into perfect pitch\, specification writers must learn to harmonize with BECs—using the 4 C’s as their common language—to clearly communicate enclosure intent\, responsibilities\, and performance requirements. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nReview the 4 C’s as presented by CSI. Consider additional C’s in the specification writing process. Present these concepts to Building Enclosure Consultants.\nAnalyze the Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) process from pre-design through the 10-month warranty walkover\, and apply to the specification writing process.\nCompare the range of BECx activities\, tasks\, and requirements from the governing standards and organizations of NIBS\, ASTM E2813 and E2947\, LEED v5\, USACE\, and ASHRAE 90.1\, and 2021 IECC.\nInterpret the variations of the typical building consultant’s scope and processes versus BECx\, and the extent of building enclosure deliverables relative to the specification writing process.\n\nRegister Now \nPamela Jergenson\, FCSI\, CDT\, CCS\, CCCA\, BECxP\, CxA+BE\, CABS\, Technical Director of Building Science Solutions Building & Construction\, Intertek \nPam Jergenson is certified in several areas in the construction industry: building enclosure commissioning\, air barriers; and construction documents\, specifications\, and contracts. Additionally\, she is trained in Whole Building Airtightness Testing (WBAT) and licensed as an air barrier field auditor. With nearly 35 years of experience in building enclosures\, her knowledge range includes project inception through construction and warranty phases for both new and existing building construction. Pam extends her work into building enclosure investigations and forensics\, hygrothermal modeling\, and building enclosure management and maintenance planning for building owners and sites across the region and the United States. Her responsibilities focus on professional development and associations by facilitating training and career pathing\, conducting public speaking\, working on technical committees; and reviewing guidelines\, code\, and related documents.

SUMMARY:Within Tolerance: Why Real-World Cross-Collaboration Matters More in the AI Age 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:As artificial intelligence reshapes workflows across architecture\, engineering\, and construction\, the demand for more sophisticated and adaptable building enclosures continues to grow. Yet\, the built environment remains fundamentally human—designed for people\, shaped by context\, and realized through collaboration. This presentation offers a multidisciplinary perspective\, drawing from the experiences of architects\, contractors\, and owners to examine how real-world\, cross-disciplinary coordination remains essential to delivering high-performance buildings\, even as digital tools become more prevalent. It highlights lessons from projects where human communication—not automation—was the key to maintaining design intent\, continuity\, and constructability. The session explores how to achieve better buildings from start to finish—showing that beyond maintaining assembly and system continuity\, true performance depends on project team continuity. From breaking ground to drying in\, the presentation illustrates how proactive coordination\, clear scope definition\, and interface and goals alignment can prevent the missteps that lead to failure. Emphasis is placed on applying first principles and fundamentals to navigate complex conditions and develop simple\, collaborative solutions. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify critical coordination points that affect enclosure continuity and performance from design through construction.\nDescribe how early\, discipline-wide collaboration mitigates scope gaps and interface failures in enclosure assemblies.\nDiscuss practical strategies for maintaining communication and alignment among project stakeholders.\nApply lessons from field and desk to improve constructability and performance of air\, moisture\, and thermal control layers.\n\nRegister Now \nEnrique Lizardi\, Building Enclosure Consultant – PM – Associate\, BPL Enclosure` \nEnrique Lizardi is a Building Enclosure Consultant at BPL Enclosure\, with a multidisciplinary background in architecture\, construction\, and building science. He earned his degree in Architecture from Universidad La Salle Morelia\, where he began his career in building design and construction. Early mentorship under a professional who bridged architecture and engineering shaped his integrated\, systems-based approach to enclosure performance. \nEnrique’s project experience spans high-rise\, civic\, and commercial developments\, including courthouse facilities in the mountainous regions of Michoacán\, where he coordinated steel wall systems and environmental control layers. After relocating to Atlanta\, Georgia\, in 2018\, he specialized in designing and delivering high-performance cladding assemblies as a subcontractor. Building on that expertise\, he joined BPL Enclosure in 2023 to re-focus on the performance of the entire building enclosure. \nWith experience across climates\, construction roles\, and cultural contexts\, Enrique brings a holistic and practical perspective to enclosure design—emphasizing durability\, constructability\, and building-science-driven performance.

DESCRIPTION:ABAA in partnership with BEC Charleston Air Barrier Symposium\nEarn up to 7.0 LU/HSW \nRegister Today \nProgram Agenda \n8:00 AM – Sign In & Welcome | Breakfast \n8:30 AM – 10:00 AM | Locating that Elusive Point of Condensation: A Review of Hygrothermal Evaluation Fundamentals (1.5 LU/HSW) \nAndrew Dunlap\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, Vice President | Building Technology Studio Leader\, SmithGroup\n \nUnderstanding heat\, air\, and moisture movement is essential to designing durable\, high-performing building enclosures. This presentation explores hygrothermal modeling tools and demonstrates how climate conditions\, material properties\, wall assemblies\, and construction details influence enclosure performance\, while comparing one-\, two-\, and three-dimensional modeling and static versus transient analysis to support informed design decisions. \n10:05 AM – 11:35 AM | Air Barrier Field Testing of Various Air Barrier Materials During the Construction Process (1.5 LU/HSW) \nLaverne Dalgleish\, Executive Director\, Air Barrier Association of America \nLearn how field testing verifies that air barrier systems meet project specifications throughout construction. Using project photos\, videos\, and demonstrations\, this session covers quantitative testing\, qualitative assessments\, and visual inspections used to evaluate air leakage\, adhesion\, material thickness\, density\, and overall installation quality. \n11:35 AM – 12:30 PM | Lunch \n12:30 PM – 2:00 PM | Pitfalls & Challenges in NFPA 285 Engineering Judgments (1.5 LU/HSW) \nKeith Nelson\, NCARB\, AIA\, CDT\, BCxP\, Commercial Application Leader\, DuPont  \nWhen direct testing isn’t feasible\, engineering analyses help demonstrate the fire performance of exterior wall assemblies. This presentation explains how qualified engineering judgments extend successful NFPA 285 test results to similar assemblies while examining the process\, limitations\, and code acceptance of these analyses. \n2:05 PM – 3:35 PM | Air & Vapor Considerations in Prefab Construction (1.5 LU/HSW) \nCorey Zussman\, AIA\, NCARB\, ALA (IL\, IN\, WI)\, QA/QC Vice President\, AECOM – Hunt Construction \nExplore the critical design\, fabrication\, transportation\, and installation considerations for air and vapor barrier systems in prefabricated cold-formed metal framing (CFMF) panel construction. Through real-world case studies\, attendees will examine design coordination\, construction tolerances\, sequencing\, transportation and storage practices\, and detailing strategies that contribute to successful enclosure performance. \n3:35 PM – 4:00 PM | Snack Break \n4:00 PM – 5:00 PM | Through-Wall Flashings & Transition Membranes: Selection & Installation (1.0 LU/HSW) \nMeagan Elfert\, CDT\, MBA\, CBS\, Vice President\, York Flashings \nProperly designed and installed through-wall flashings and transition membranes are essential to maintaining the continuity and long-term performance of the building enclosure. This presentation reviews common challenges\, material characteristics\, compatibility considerations\, and installation best practices that help create durable\, resilient flashing systems while reducing maintenance and life-cycle costs. \nRegistration Fees: $150 \nSponsorships Contact:\nTamara Foncerrada / tamara@airbarrier.org \nVenue\nFounders Hall\n1500 Old Towne Rd.\nCharleston\, SC 29407
