SUMMARY:Ron Blank/ABAA Blown Away: Unmasking the Secrets of Whole Building Airtightness Testing
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Denali Jones\, P.E.\, ABAA \nCEU: 1 AIA LU/HSW\, 1 AAA\, 1 AIBD\, 1 BOMI\, 1 FBPE\, 1 ICC\, 1 OAA\, 1 SAA \nRegister Here \nWhole building airtightness testing has been a code compliance option in the International Energy Conservation Code and ASHRAE 90.1 for some time. That compliance option was rarely used and only became mandatory as part of building owners’ requirements or a specific state or jurisdictional requirement that was limited to one or two states. As we moved towards Net Zero\, building codes “tightened” up\, and it is expected this will become a test that is mandatory on a more countrywide basis. It seems that time has arrived\, with many states now requiring mandatory whole building airtightness testing. As we move toward those requirements\, it is important to understand the latest in test methods\, current and projected code requirements\, how to specify the test properly\, coordination needed with the construction team\, and what type of pre-qualifications exist that you can rely upon. \n Learning Objectives: \n\nIdentify the current building code requirements on both the national and local levels\, plus the must-know details of eco-friendly building programs that are trending right now.\nArticulate what the airtightness test provides and how those results can be used to improve the building enclosure.\nDefine the differences among the various test methods available as code or specification options.\nReview guide specification sample language and typical pitfalls in current specifications.\nIdentify credentialing programs that can help you find pre-qualifications of testing personnel for large buildings.

SUMMARY:ABAA Contractor Webinar: Pre-and Post Installed Balconies and Canopies Open Forum
DESCRIPTION:Adam Ugliuzza\, Partner of the Building Enclosures Group for Sustainable Building Partners\, will be hosting an open forum\, focusing on pre-and post installed balconies and canopy details in real-world applications. Send project-specific issues with an example picture or detail to lhardman@airbarrier.org (redact sensitive information). The webinar will be interactive\, and solutions will be provided on the call. \nDiscussion will include\, but is not limited to: \n\nConnections under the balconies\, where structural framing supports come through the AVB\nBalcony deck to wall connections\nConnections to balcony doors\, proper flashing and heights\nCanopies installed post AVB with connections through the facade\nPre-Fabricated balconies and those connections vs traditional stick built\n\nThis webinar is exclusive to the ABAA contractor members.  Please reach out to lhardman@airbarrier.org to register. \n

SUMMARY:Lessons Learned: Trades that Need to Include an AVB Discussion in their Specification & Preinstallation Meetings  1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Lessons Learned: Trades that Need to Include an AVB Discussion in their Specification & Preinstallation Meetings\nWhen designing a building envelope wall system\, specifying\, detailing\, and having a pre-installation discussion about the backup substrate and façade elements\, considering the water\, air\, vapor\, and insulation systems detailing\, is critical. This involves careful coordination with all façade trade elements\, consideration of construction and installation tolerances\, addressing the installation requirements for the substrate wall\, water and air resistive barriers\, insulation\, and façade support system\, and learning lessons from each installation. Each component must be thoroughly understood and specified within their respective specification sections to ensure comprehensive detailing. By understanding the necessary connections\, material compatibility\, tested systems\, and limitations of construction materials\, you can develop pre-installation conversation points within each building envelope and substrate meetings to proactively develop an advanced conversation about detailing\, grasping the construction requirements for each component and incorporating lessons learned will enhance future detailing and specifications will significantly improve the chances of project success. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify early structural design considerations needed to maintain air\, vapor\, water\, insulation\, and rainscreen systems in bid documents.\nIncorporate construction tolerances when detailing substrate walls and control layers for various façade systems.\nRecognize common substrate and façade wall systems and the detailing needed to coordinate drawings and specifications.\nApply lessons learned on continuity\, fastening\, membranes\, and system tolerances to improve coordination and guide pre-installation meetings.\n\nRegister Now \nCorey Zussman\, AIA\, NCARB\, ALA (IL\, IN\, WI)\, RBEC\, RRC\, REWC\, RWC\, RRO\, CABS\, CCQM\, CDT\, CQM\, CxA+BE\, BECxP\, LEED AP BD+C\, Level II Thermographer\, QA/QC Vice President\, AECOM Hunt Construction \n As a forensic architect registered in several states\, Corey Zussman has practiced in the construction industry for over 30 years. He specializes in the building envelope\, restoration\, preservation\, life safety\, and interior finishes. While working on over 2000 projects\, Corey conducts constructability reviews\, pre-installation meetings\, comprehensive envelope meetings\, and construction observations. He has also become known for providing educational opportunities throughout the industry and has produced more than 200 “lessons learned” papers. Topics include building envelope and life safety concerns\, enabling Corey to proactively address issues during design review\, pre-construction\, and construction. In addition\, he has over 15 industry articles about building envelope and life safety topics. He is also a frequent presenter at local and national conferences and associations with over 50 AIA accredited presentations. \n
