2023 BES: Fenestration Replacement: Identifying Design Solutions for Existing Buildings ($95.00 Member/$110.00 Non-member)

Fenestration Replacement: Identifying Design Solutions for Existing Buildings

Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC Building Enclosure Symposium in Orlando, Florida. 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
Owners of existing buildings may often need to revitalize their building enclosures to improve performance, particularly to address air and water leaks at fenestrations. Although there are always challenges when designing within the constraints of an existing building, identifying these obstacles and anticipating difficult construction conditions during the design phase can reduce delays and problem areas in construction.  A review of several fenestration replacement case studies  and a discussion of their distinctive conditions and the proposed solutions developed by the design team will take place. In particular, best practices for detailing watertight enclosures, including how to maintain continuity at interfaces between adjacent enclosure assemblies, will be provided.
