Description
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
For urban infill construction projects, designers and contractors are challenged with forming the exterior enclosure mere inches from neighboring buildings. All components of the exterior enclosure require special consideration, including below-grade waterproofing product selection and implementation, exterior wall construction methods, and weather-resistive barrier application with limited access. Critical elements include air and water barrier continuity, expansion and contraction tolerances, futureproofing for long-term durability during neighboring construction, seismic movement requirements, and watertight joint coverings. This presentation will explore the challenges, potential pitfalls, and successes of designing and installing a watertight exterior enclosure in new high-rise construction with property line constraints.

Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Present a variety of approaches to interacting with existing neighboring construction with limited access.
- Review below-grade waterproofing considerations and installations that abut existing neighboring buildings.
- Explore alternate exterior wall types: concrete/concrete masonry unit, framed tilt-up wall, or shaft wall assemblies.
- Review exterior enclosure detailing considerations to maintain continuity of the air and water barrier between walls and adjacent finishes.
