Join AIA SW Wisconsin, ABAA & CSI Madison for a half-day symposium on air barriers.

Schedule

8:30-9:00am Sign In & Welcome

9:00-9:15am Introductions: ABAA, CSI, and Sponsors

9:15 -10:15am Presentation – Brian Stroik, Leak-Free Enclosure Process for Construction Managers & General Contractors
Hundreds of Millions of Dollars are spent every year by construction managers, trade partners, and insurance companies in litigation and for repairing the water and moisture damage caused by construction defects in the Building Enclosure. WHY? We know this is an issue, it has been for decades, so is there a way to ensure the construction of high performing enclosures? The answer is YES! This presentation will use actual Case Studies from projects around the country to discuss a process that can be put into specifications to ensure Durable, Sustainable and High Performing Enclosures. This process has been practiced for over 20 years and is based upon the industry leading processes of NIBS Guideline 3 and the current ASTM BECx documents.

10:15-10:30am Break

10:30-12:00 Presentation – Andrew Dunlap, “By Others” – That Elusive Subcontractor Responsible for Transitions
An in-depth look at the environmental separators for the roof, wall, and below-grade assemblies in regard 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 regard to 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.

12:00-1:00pm Lunch

1:00-2:00pm Presentation – Pamela Jergenson, Don’t Go There: Navigating the Real, Imperfect Air Barrier Details
Solving air barrier details or mishaps during construction is possible, but do we really have time for that? Construction schedules and sequencing are compressed. Change orders and rework are expensive and time consuming. Discover through actual air barrier specifications, drawings, and field photographs the possible options to solve details or mishaps BEFORE construction starts. Join this interactive seminar with polls and real examples during construction that delve into ways to avoid those last-minute detail changes.

2:00pm Wrap Up
