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. \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\, October 2\, 2026\n  \nRegister Today

SUMMARY:Building Enclosure Commissioning vs. Enclosure Testing 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:As building performance expectations rise\, confusion often persists between Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) and Building Enclosure Testing (BET). While both serve to verify performance\, they are distinct processes that meet at key points in design and construction. This session clarifies the relationship between BET and BECx and shows how testing requirements should flow from the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) through design\, construction\, and final functional performance testing. \nHistorically\, many project specifications reference outdated standards such as NIBS 3-2012 and ASHRAE Guideline 0-2005. The industry has since advanced: NIBS 3 has evolved into ASTM E2813\, and ASHRAE Guideline 0 is now ASHRAE Standard 202\, which together defines the modern foundation for the BECx process. Yet\, in practice\, many designers still omit Building Enclosure Specification 01-91-15 (or 01-91-19 under the Whole Building Design Guide framework)\, leaving owners without clear direction on who conducts or verifies enclosure testing. \nThis session equips attendees with a practical understanding of how to align specifications with current standards\, define roles and responsibilities\, and integrate enclosure testing as the final functional performance verification of the enclosure system. Using real-world project examples\, we’ll explore common ASTM and AAMA testing protocols—such as window spray testing (AAMA 501.2)\, chamber testing (ASTM 1105/783)\, and whole-building pressurization (ASTM E779) as tools within the larger commissioning process. By the end of this session\, participants will gain a clear\, current framework for discussing BECx and BET with owners\, designers\, and contractors\, establishing a shared language to deliver durable\, efficient\, and high-performing building envelopes. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Learn the differences between BE Commissioning and BE Testing.​\nUnderstand how Owner Project Requirements relate to design decisions affecting function performance testing of the Enclosure\n Develop a common basis for discussing Building Enclosure testing methods with the AEC Team.\n​Understand how the Building Enclosure Commissioning process incorporate Enclosure Testing as the final Functional Performance Test of the various Enclosure Systems.\n\nRegister Now \nMike Lackey\, PE\, CBECxP\, CxA\, CCP\, LEED AP\, Managing Member\, LCCx \nMike Lackey is a Professional Engineer and Certified Building Enclosure Commissioning Professional with over 35 years of experience in building systems performance and commissioning. As Principal of LCCx\, he has led numerous complex projects across Texas\, including stadiums\, healthcare facilities\, higher education campuses\, and major government buildings. Mike’s leadership focuses on ensuring that building systems performed as intended\, delivering the efficiency\, comfort\, and reliability owners expect.
