Presentations:
BUILDING SCIENCE: Laverne Dalgleish, Executive Director, Air Barrier Association of America
The physics of heat, air, and moisture flows need to be understood to design and construct a high-performance building that will be energy efficient, durable, and sustainable. The presentation will review how heat, air, and moisture function and provide insight into how we can control these flows to ensure optimal building performance. 1.0 CEU/HSW
THROUGH WALL FLASHINGS COMPATIBILITY, SUSTAINABILITY, AND PERFORMANCE: Meagan Elfert, Director of Sales, York Flashings
This presentation will provide an overview of all flashing choices that can be selected and specified and provide information on how to make product selections and what materials are not compatible with a system. Real-life examples of various systems and transitions will provide attendees with an understanding of the successful construction of these components. 1.0 CEU/HSW
NEW TOOLS TO HELP DRIVE DECISIONS IN YOUR AIR BARRIER SPECIFICATIONS: Laverne Dalgleish, Executive Director, Air Barrier Association of America
This presentation will review some of the new tools available regarding specifying different levels of building airtightness above code-mandated minimums. These tools help assess the energy reduction from base levels of building airtightness and the corresponding financial savings, along with quantification of the impact airtightness has on moisture movement transported by air leakage. A look into research conducted on adhesion values for various air barrier materials will be reviewed to aid the specification writer. 1.0 CEU/HSW
“BY OTHERS” – THE ELUSIVE SUBCONTRACTOR RESPONSIBLE FOR TRANSITIONS: 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 regarding water control, air leakage control, thermal performance, and vapor control. A step-by-step look at each critical detail regarding the 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. 1.5 CEU/HSW
