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
