SUMMARY:METALCON: Installing Air Barrier Systems: The Devil is in the Details
DESCRIPTION:Installing Air Barrier Systems: The Devil is in the Details\nInstalling air barriers may seem straightforward—until the work begins. The first step is simple: does the material meet the required performance standards? But things quickly get more complex. Where exactly is the air barrier located in the assembly? How do adjacent materials impact its performance? What hidden risks could undermine your results? In this session\, get the answers to these questions and more. Learn how to adapt air barrier strategies for different climate zones\, meet today’s evolving performance demands\, and avoid the common pitfalls that trip up even experienced teams. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDetermine the number one reason why you would install an air barrier system on a building.\nList the key benefits of incorporating an air barrier system.\nReview different air barrier materials and their critical installation requirements.\nIdentify the top ten air barrier leakage areas.\nExplain the importance of having a quality control program for installation of air barrier products and systems.\n\nLearn More & Register \nContinuing Education Credits:   1.0 AIA LU HSW \nPresented by Laverne Dalgleish

SUMMARY:ABAA & CSI Atlanta - Half Day Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \n9:00-9:30 AM Sign-In & Welcome \n9:30– 9:45 AM Introductions – ABAA\, CSI and Sponsors \n9:45-10:45 AM Presentation Keith Simon\, The Evolving Landscape of Commercial Energy Efficiency: Understanding & Applying New Codes – 1.0 LU/HSW\nThis course provides owners\, architects\, engineers\, and construction professionals with essential insights into navigating commercial energy efficiency codes\, focusing on ASHRAE 90.1 and IECC. Participants will explore the impact of these codes on building enclosure design\, materials\, and systems\, and understand the role of Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) in ensuring performance requirements are met. Through case studies\, real-world examples\, and a look at emerging trends\, the course covers key requirements\, challenges\, and innovations in building enclosure design for sustainable and energy-efficient projects. \n10:45-11:00 AM Break \n11:00AM-12:00 PM Presentation Adam Ugliuzza\, Whole Building Testing is Coming… Do Not Fear It – 1.0 LU/HSW\nAn airtight building is critical to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing Net Zero Passive Building construction. Beyond energy savings\, airtightness supports moisture management\, proper equipment operation and sizing\, and indoor air quality. The question is: how do we know if a building is airtight? The answer is whole building airtightness testing. ABAA members helped develop ASTM E3158\, the standard for testing large or multizone buildings\, and in 2022 launched a Blower Door Technician training and certification program to support industry adoption. This presentation will address myths\, explain the testing process\, outline steps if performance targets aren’t met\, and highlight ABAA’s training program and what sets it apart. \n12:00-1:00 PM Lunch & Visit Vendors \n1:00-2:00 PM Presentation Melissa Payne\, Understanding Manufacturer Full Building Envelope Warranties – 1.0 LU/HSW\nManufacturer full building envelope warranties are increasingly sought after for the value they bring to building owners\, offering risk management and peace of mind. Ensuring protection against water\, air\, and thermal intrusion across all levels and transitions of the building enclosure is critical\, and warranties can serve as an important safeguard in a world focused on minimizing financial exposure. But are they really that straightforward? This presentation will define manufacturer full building envelope warranties\, explain the value they provide\, debunk common myths\, and outline what to look out for during the design and specification process to ensure their full benefit. \n2:00 PM  Wrap-Up \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:ABAA & CSI Chattanooga- Half Day Symposium
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \n2:30–3:00 PM – Sign-In & Welcome \n3:00–4:00 PM – Melissa Payne: Dispelling Myths About Building Enclosure Warranties\, 1.0 CEU/HSW \nBuilding Envelope System Warranties are becoming more sought after and bring some real value to a building owner – they help manage risk and obtain peace of mind.  What constitutes a building enclosure system warranty?  Can such a warranty be attained under one umbrella of coverage?  Our industry understands how critical it is to ensure building enclosure protection from water\, air\, and thermal intrusion\, at every level\, and at every transition\, but is our industry ready to shift practices to make this a reality for building owners?  In a world aiming to minimize financial exposure\, system warranties are a good option. But are they really that simple to specify and implement? Join us to learn more about building enclosure system warranties\, the value they bring\, what they are\, how to specify them\, and what to look out for during the build process.  \n4:00–4:15 PM – Break \n4:15–5:15 PM – Scott Wood: Observing Building Enclosures Leaking: Heat\, Air\, and Water Using Infrared Thermography\, 1.0 CEU/HSW \nThe enclosure envelopes the building separating the conditioned and exterior environments. Within that enclosure are Heat\, Air\, Liquid Moisture and Moisture vapor (HAMM) controlling elements. Infrared thermography can be utilized to visualize Heat\, Air and Moisture (HAM) by the energy emitted from building surfaces affected by HAM. We will explore the benefits\, limitations and physics behind the use of infrared thermography or thermal science\, it’s partnering with building science and infrared’s use in “seeing” Heat\, Air and Moisture flow at the enclosure. By showing and describing thermal imagery\, we will demonstrate how thermal patterning shows Heat\, Air and Moisture flow. In the end\, our audience will better understand how this technology can be applied to the enclosure\, minimizing risk\, determining retrofit needs\, evaluating energy performance and much more. \n5:15-6:00 PM – Happy Hour \n6:00-7:00 PM – Dinner + Melissa Payne: Building Enclosure Architectural Details – Conveying Construction Drawing Clarity\, 1.0 CEU/HSW\nDesigning an air-tight\, water-tight\, and energy efficient building requires an understanding of the anatomy of the entire building enclosure to build structures that will perform as intended. A lack of understanding of these concepts translates into poor and incomplete architectural details\, gaps in design information\, and exterior wall components that cannot be properly installed\, leading to contractors “figuring it out on the field.” This presentation will touch upon basic concepts of building science and how drawings can be improved to create beautiful\, sustainable structures that function properly\, by conveying clarity on building enclosure details at foundation-to-wall\, roof-to-wall\, window-to-wall\, penetrations\, and at dissimilar material transition points \n7:00 PM – Wrap-Up \nREGISTER NOW
