SUMMARY:Whole Building Airtightness Technician Training Course - Northbrook\, IL
DESCRIPTION:Program Description\nThe purpose of the ABAA Blower Door Technician Training Program is to educate both entry-level and more experienced blower door technicians on the planning\, preparation\, and execution of airtightness testing for commercial and large buildings in conformance with industry standard test methods. The training aims to equip blower door technicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to appropriately evaluate\, prepare\, test\, analyze\, and report on a building’s airtightness performance. \nJoin the Waitlist to be notified of the next course \nThe ABAA Blower Door Technician Training Program is a 40-hour training program delivered over 5 days by subject matter experts retained by ABAA who are guided by detailed lesson plans. In addition to receiving instruction from experienced experts\, the trainees will also have the opportunity to plan and carry out simulated building airtightness tests on physical mock-ups during the training program. \nThe program is intended to help prepare the trainees to become a Certified Blower Door Technician through ABAA’s certification program\, but completion of the training program is not required for ABAA certification. The trainees will learn about the certification program and requirements during the training program. \nFor the purposes of demonstrations\, activities\, and simulations\, this training program uses equipment from two widely used blower door fan manufacturing companies. \nMore Information \nTraining Course Fees: \n\nMembers – $2\,500.00\nNon-Members – $2\,850.00\n\nAdditional Fees: \n\nLevel 1 Registration & Exam – Members $495.00 Non-Members $695.00\nLevel 2 Registration & Exam – Members $595.00 Non-Members $895.00\n\n\nTraining Location: \nWJE Northbrook \n330 Pfingsten Road\, Northbrook\, IL 60062\nPhone: 847.272.2400 \nLocation Details:\nPark in the lot off 255 Melvin Drive\, Northbrook\, IL 60062\, The entrance door will be on the north side of the building\, right by the parking.\nSigns directing students will be posted \n \nRegistration is limited to 12 students. Sign up today and secure your spot! \nRegistration Deadline: Friday\, April 3\, 2026\n  \nJoin the Waitlist to be notified of the next course

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
