12:00 - LUNCH

SESSION 1: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: AIR BARRIER CONNECTIONS (1.0 LU/HSW, 1.0 GBCI)

Roy F. Schauffele, FCSI, CCPR, FABAA, CABS

This presentation will help you gain an understanding of how poor transitions can result in reduced energy efficiency, as well as increase the risk of water infiltration and condensation. Learn how transitions impact building enclosure performance and how compatibility issues impact the options available for good transitions.

SESSION 2: BY OTHERS – THE ELUSIVE SUBCONTRACTOR RESPOSIBLE FOR TRANSITIONS (1.5 LU/HSW, 1.0 GBCI)

Andrew Dunlap, AIA, CDT, LEED AP, NCARB, Principal, SmithGroup; Building Technology Studio Leader

An in-depth look at the environmental separators for the roof, wall and below grade assemblies in regards to water control, air leakage control, thermal performance and vapor control. Critical details that typically cause building performance related issues will be focused on the two largest failures of building enclosures: roof to wall connections and wall to window connections specific to curtain wall systems. A step by step look at each critical detail in regards to sequence of construction and the various connections to ensure airtight/watertight and thermally protected details. Real life photos and job conditions will bring the realities of the construction process to show typical errors found and how they can be addressed correctly.

SESSION 3: IF IT’S NOT RAINING, WHY IS MY ROOF LEAKING? (1.0 CEU/HSW)

Ryan Dalgleish, Chief Operating Officer of the Air Barrier Association of America

Roof leaks and even water in wall assemblies is not good for the building. The first reaction is let's fix the leak, but then you realize that it is not raining. If there is no rain, you should not get bulk water entry. We overlook the real reason for water in building assemblies because we do not consider all means of moisture transport. Many people then jump to the conclusion that the material used as a water restive barrier does not have a high enough Perm rating. This presentation will cover all the ways that moisture moves in a building, show why you should not rely on the Perm rating of a single material and show you where you will get thousands of gallons of water into the building envelope.

SESSION 4: OH NO! WHAT DID I MISS? HOW TO PROPERLY SPECIFY AN AIR BARRIER (1.0 CEU/HSW, 1.0 GBCI)

Roy F. Schauffele, FCSI, CCPR, FABAA, CABS

Design and Construction documents are one of the first steps towards achieving an effective layer of airtightness to manage moisture and air movement. The importance of a proper specification cannot be understated, and a well-articulated document will ensure that the owner is provided with materials, performance and quality.

The presentation will review some of the consideration and language that should be reviewed prior to developing a specification and will outline code requirements, performance requirements, what can be done for quality and ensuring material selection meets the intent of design and for crucial coordination with other components of the enclosure.

5:30 - MEETING ENDS
