    Centennial E-H

    Presentation Overview TUESDAY, MAY 6, 8:45AM – 9:45AM CENTENNIAL E-H As climate change drives increasingly severe storms, building resilience is critical. How do we ensure buildings withstand these extremes? A robust whole-building air barrier assembly is key, offering a resilient shield against environmental stresses. This presentation will guide you in designing and implementing a high-performance […]

  • Code Compliance Paths for Air Leakage Through the Building Envelope

    Nicollet Ballroom

    Presentation OverviewTuesday, MAY 5, 8:30AM – 9:30AMNicollet BallroomIn 2012, the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) introduced the requirement for a continuous air barrier throughout the building thermal envelope. At the time, there was little guidance on how to verify that the requirement, but with each new version of the energy code, provisions are incorporated that […]

  • Catastrophic Failures and the Net Effect of Design and Construction Errors on Moisture Management

    Lakeshore Ballroom

    Presentation Overview Tuesday, MAY 5, 8:30AM – 9:30AMLakeshore BallroomThis seminar explores how seemingly minor design and construction flaws can compound into major building and HVAC system failures, often with costly consequences. While individual defects may appear insignificant in isolation, their combined effect across multiple systems frequently leads to catastrophic moisture problems, degraded indoor air quality, […]

  • Sealing the Deal: A Holistic Framework for Reliably Achieving High-Performance Airtightness

    Nicolett Ballroom

    Presentation Overview Tuesday, MAY 5, 10:00AM-11:00AMNicollet BallroomHigh-performance airtightness is fundamental for climate resilient buildings, reducing energy consumption, enhancing comfort, and improving indoor air quality. While codes increasingly mandate tighter envelopes, reliably achieving and verifying stringent targets, especially in complex structures, remains challenging. Supported by examples of field testing, this abstract outline a holistic approach for […]

  • Designing and Detailing Air Barrier Connections at Storefronts and Curtainwalls

    Lakeshore Ballroom

    Presentation Overview Tuesday, MAY 5, 10:00AM-11:00AMLakeshore BallroomAs building energy codes become increasingly stringent, improving the building enclosure to reduce air infiltration and thermal losses has become essential. One of the most common sources of uncontrolled air leakage is the transition between the air barrier and fenestrations or other wall openings. Although air barriers have been […]

  • From the Window to the Wall – Bringing Together Heat, Air and Moisture Control at Openings in the Enclosure

    Nicollet Ballroom

    Presentation Overview Tuesday, MAY 5, 11:15AM - 12:15PMNicollet BallroomThis presentation will be 60 minutes on high performance enclosure design and how to navigate cladding and glazing support while maximizing building energy efficiency and structural longevity. Modern exterior enclosures are complex systems that need to factor in air and vapor control layers, insulation in multiple locations […]

  • Building Enclosure Commissioning vs Enclosure Testing

    Lakeshore Ballroom

    Presentation Overview Tuesday, MAY 5, 11:15AM-12:15PMLakeshore BallroomAs building performance expectations rise, confusion often persists between Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) and Building Enclosure Testing (BET). While both serve to verify performance, they are distinct processes that meet at key points in design and construction. This session clarifies the relationship between BET and BECx and shows how […]
