Description

11:30 Sign In & Welcome 12:00-1:30 Lunch & Presentation “BY OTHERS” – THE ELUSIVE SUBCONTRACTOR RESPOSIBLE 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 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. (1.5 CEU/HSW, 1.0 GBCI) 1:30-1:45 Break 1:45-3:15 Presentation UNDERSTANDING DIFFICULT CRITICAL TRANSITIONS OF AIR, VAPOR & MOISTURE BARRIERS Corey Zussman, AIA, NCARB, ALA, RBEC, RRC, REWC, RWC, RRO, CDT, CQM, CxA+BE, BECxP, CABS, LEED® AP BD+C, Director of Quality, Pepper Construction Company This presentation will identify the many difficult critical transitions on complex building types and will give the tools to better understand the reasoning and sequencing needed to complete the installation in order to prevent constructability issues and potential rework in the field through drawing detailing and correlating construction photos of actual installations and explanations of each condition.
