2023 Convention Session: Historic Industrial Building Reuse and the Building Enclosure- Bielicki P., Lehne W. ($95.00 member/$110.00 nonmember)

Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Houston, Texas.  This course includes the recording of the session, a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions, and surveys required to claim continuing education credit.

Description
Prior to the pervasive use of mechanical interior conditioning, building enclosures were designed and constructed where building finishes accommodated drying the building enclosure to both the exterior and interior environments. This is especially true in historic industrial buildings, namely mass masonry structures. In the past couple of decades, many of these building types have been converted into modern living spaces. Conditioning the interior environment and the application of moisture-sensitive interior materials can result in undesirable condensation and the potential for biological growth on building interiors. The existing building enclosure construction can create conditions where raising the enclosure R-values to modern code-required values can be problematic. Installed components can conflict with the locations in which building science indicates the insulation should be installed. Existing construction can present conditions that, due to the manner of assembly or time-induced deterioration, are difficult to seal against air infiltration.

In this presentation, case studies will be discussed to demonstrate how these project issues were addressed. Attention will be given to the continuity of the air, water, and thermal control layers given the existing, historic building conditions. Designers, researchers, contractors, and building owners will be especially interested in the diagnostic testing procedures and, design-driving results that will be presented and discussed
