SUMMARY:ABAA\, BEC Minnesota & CSI Minneapolis-St. Paul Full Day Symposium
DESCRIPTION:ABAA in partnership with BEC Minnesota and CSI Minneapolis – St. Paul Full Day Air Barrier Symposium\nEarn up to 4.0 LU/HSW \nRegister Today \nProgram Agenda \n8:00 – 8:30 AM\nRegistration\, Breakfast\, & Networking \n8:30 – 9:30 AM\nBuilding Enclosure Architectural Details: Conveying Construction Drawing Clarity\, 1.0 LU/HSW\nMelissa Payne\, BECxP\, CxA+BE\, CDT\, BE Consulting – Forensics\, Midwest Enclosure Consulting\nIncomplete or unclear drawings often lead to performance issues in the field. This session reviews building science fundamentals and shows how to improve detail clarity at foundations\, roofs\, windows\, penetrations\, and material transitions to support durable\, energy-efficient enclosures. \n10:30 – 11:30 AM\nSelf-Adhered Membrane Applications: What Does It Really Mean to Stick? 1.0 LU/HSW\nCody Shelner\, PE\, Head of Marketing\, Air & Waterproofing\, tesa Air and Waterproofing\nSelf-adhered membranes are popular for their ease of use and reliability in air and moisture control. However\, performance depends on more than peel adhesion. This session reviews the forces these membranes must resist—wind\, stack effect\, and pressurization—and explores how to properly evaluate long-term durability under real conditions. Learn why comprehensive performance testing is essential when specifying or inspecting these systems. \n11:30AM – 12:30 PM\nLunch \n12:30 – 1:30 PM\nLocating That Elusive Point of Condensation: A Review of Hygrothermal Evaluation Fundamentals\, 1.0 LU/HSW\nAndrew Dunlap\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, Vice President | Building Technology Studio Leader\, SmithGroup\nThis presentation will review the various types of Hygrothermal modeling tools available to assistance designers in developing a building’s exterior enclosure. Variables such as the interior and exterior climate (temperature/humidity)\, material permeance\, wall assembly types\, and transitions between adjacent construction will be explored. Understanding the impact of the decision to use various modeling techniques such as 1D/2D/3D and transient versus static modeling will be discussed. \n1:30 – 2:00 PM\nBreak \n2:00 – 3:00 PM\nFailure is Not an Option: Air Barrier Continuity Strategies for Storefront & Curtain Wall Systems\, 1.0 LU/HSW\nAndrew Dunlap\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, Vice President | Building Technology Studio Leader\, SmithGroup\nWall-to-window transitions are a leading source of enclosure failures. This session provides a step-by-step look at sequencing and connection details\, supported by real-world photos\, to ensure airtight\, watertight\, and thermally protected assemblies. \n3:00 PM\nTeardown & Adjourn \nRegistration Fees: \n\nBEC & CSI Members: $50\nNon-members: $75\n\nSponsorships Contact:\nTamara Foncerrada / tamara@airbarrier.org \nVenue:\nBoy Scouts of America Base Camp\n6202 Bloomington Rd.\nFort Snelling\, MN 55111

SUMMARY:Elevating Enclosure Performance: Optimizing Continuous Insulation for Thermal Efficiency\, Durability\, and Safety 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Elevating Enclosure Performance: Optimizing Continuous Insulation for Thermal Efficiency\, Durability\, and Safety\nThis webinar explores how strategic continuous insulation (CI) choices can alleviate pressures on building enclosures and elevate building envelope performance\, sustainability\, durability\, and life safety. Attendees will gain insights into NFPA 285 compliance\, the role of CI in rainscreen systems\, and key considerations behind insulation material selection. The course highlights key attributes for comparing insulation types—such as R-value\, thickness\, installation requirements\, and environmental impact—and suggests design opportunities using higher-performance insulation products. Through real-world assemblies and best practices\, participants will learn how to simplify insulation choices across multiple applications to meet evolving codes\, optimize wall assemblies\, reduce thermal bridging\, and even reclaim interior square footage. Discover how doing more with less supports design efficiency and construction practicality. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify how insulation selection impacts NFPA 285 compliance and understand how different assemblies perform with various continuous insulation materials under varying environmental pressures.\nEvaluate sustainability attributes\, installation efficiencies\, and design flexibility of continuous insulation types to maximize thermal performance and minimize installation complexity.\n Explore rainscreen applications and determine critical design and installation considerations for effectively integrating continuous insulation across varied enclosure types.\nExamine how high R-value insulation can reduce wall thickness\, simplify attachment systems\, and reclaim usable space within building envelopes.\n\nRegister Now \nLance Williams\, Architectural Sales Manager\, Atlas Roofing \nLance Williams is an Architectural Sales Manager focused on how today’s enclosure choices shape tomorrow’s buildings. Drawing on more than 20 years in commercial walls and continuous insulation\, he brings a long-view perspective on performance\, risk\, and carbon grounded in building science and real-world application realities. He’s known for framing complex envelope decisions in ways that resonate with owners\, designers\, and builders alike. \n
