  An overview of weather resistant barrier (WRB) types, application procedures and a real-world example of the cascading consequences of non-compliance, especially in multi-family construction.
  
  Learning Objectives: 
  

  • Discuss weather resistant barriers (WRBs) to gain basic knowledge.
  • Identify different types of WRBs.
  • Explore different testing protocols that ensure successful air barriers.
  • Describe the long-term effects of non-compliance with real-world examples of failure.

  December 13, 2022 02:00 pm ESTMoisture Movement in Building Enclosures: Why the Enclosure Leaks Water When it’s Not Raining

  Earn: AIA approval pending; 1 IIBEC CEH (pending); 0.1 IACET CEU

  Roof leaks and water in wall assemblies are 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 s…

  Roof leaks and water in wall assemblies are 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-resistive 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 could get thousands of gallons of water into the building envelope.

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Determine how moisture moves in the building enclosures.
  2. Identify the top two reasons why moisture shows up in buildings and causes damage.
  3. Discuss why the water vapor transmission rate of materials is overrated.
  4. Identify why moisture problems in buildings will grow and what can be done to manage the risk.

  Earn: 1 AIA LU/HSW; 1 IIBEC CEH; 1 GBCI CE Hour; 1 LEED AP BD+C; 1 LEED GA; 0.1 IACET CEU

  This webinar will introduce attendees to five emerging trends in high-performance building enclosure design, construction, and performance verification. This session will introduce attendees to a comprehensive approach to high-performance building projects that may better ensure that ambitious energy and carbon goals are successfully achieved. For each trend, additional resources will be offered. Each trend will also be contextualized in the LEED v4 BD+C rating system.

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe the integrative process, how it applies to the LEED v4 BD+C rating system, and its potential to help project teams achieve high-performance design objectives.
  2. Explain how building energy modeling can be leveraged from the earliest stages of a building project to optimize design solutions and strike synergies in the LEED v4 BD+C rating system.
  3. Distinguish between operational and embodied carbon in buildings and describe how they complement each other as part of a comprehensive approach to reducing a building project’s total carbon intensity and surpassing target thresholds set for each in the LEED v4 BD+C rating system.
  4. Define total building commissioning, the framework it entails, the value it offers to building project teams, and how it applies to the LEED v4 BD+C rating system.

  In this course, building owners, designers and specification professionals will learn about exploring the emerging need in security against fire events. It's essential to understand the common causes of roof fires, especially when exploring system design and creating long-term roofing success.

  Learning Objectives:  

  1. Discuss the what, where, and why of fire: macro-market needs (better fire design or testing standards), geographical implications, system requirements and what this all means to you. 
  2. Explain the common roof fire test standards (ASTM E108/UL790, FM4450, UL 1256/NFPA276) and the approval process.
  3. Explore system design and roofing success: why history of performance is critical in decision-making and also explore the limitations of the test standards to real world fire performance and system design for superior security against fire events.
  4. Establish how to choose the right resilient roof system to meet standard requirements and building needs.  
  5. Discuss what the cost of a commercial roof fire actually is.
