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. (MN)\, Associate AIA\, Director of Building Science\, Kraus-Anderson Construction Company \nJon Porter is the Director of Building Science at Kraus Anderson Construction. In his role at KA\, Jon focuses on building performance\, particularly the exterior enclosure and interior finishes. He serves as a technical resource to project teams in relation to means and methods\, constructability\, building materials technology\, workflow and sequencing\, proper installation techniques\, and testing and acceptance protocols. A licensed Professional Engineer in the State on Minnesota\, Jon has more than 25 years of design and construction experience\, including roles in forensic investigation of design and construction failures and as an owner’s representative. \n

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.

SUMMARY:Parapets Under Pressure: Detailing for Long-Term Performance 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Poorly detailed and designed parapets can lead to significant building degradation if not monitored. To enhance the quality and longevity of this critical juncture\, there are a few specific design criteria for parapet detailing we need to consider.

SUMMARY:The Interface: Storefront Glazing 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Today’s buildings face increasing complexity due to multi-layer assemblies\, multiple trades\, limited field training\, tight schedules\, and higher performance expectations\, all within cost-sensitive projects. In contrast\, earlier buildings were simpler\, relied on skilled apprenticeship models\, and were designed to lower performance standards. Modern occupants demand precise environmental control\, high indoor air quality\, energy efficiency\, and zero tolerance for condensation or mold. Achieving this depends on a well-designed and properly constructed building enclosure. While performance data guides material selection\, poor detailing at transitions\, terminations\, and flashing can significantly undermine intended performance. This presentation reviews the evolution of building enclosure design with a focus on aluminum storefront glazing systems. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nBuilding Enclosure History and Design Principles: Participants of the session will review building construction practices of the past and present\, specifically wall construction and interfacing with fenestration. Building Science principles will be overlaid to better understand the importance of proper interfacing.\nLaboratory Certification Testing\, Computer Modeling and Field Performance Testing: Expanding on the first learning objective; the presentation will further dive into building science principles by exploring product certification\, modeling and testing of fenestration.\nConstructability and Construction Sequencing: Participants will review how performance-based interfacing details impact constructability and construction sequencing.\nCase Studies: Project examples will be reviewed\, including wall opening details for window\, storefront and curtain wall glazing assemblies.\n\nRegister Now \nAdam Ugliuzza\, PE\, CPHC\, Partner\, Building Enclosures Group\, Sustainable Building Partners \nAdam brings 16 years of engineering experience focusing on building science and the building enclosure construction industry.
