Description
Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona. This course includes the following components:
- recording of the live session
- a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions
- two surveys required to claim continuing education credit
Description
Large skylights are complex building enclosure systems that require careful consideration of access and maintenance strategies in order to reduce potential headaches for building owners and contractors. This presentation will discuss the challenges skylights face in order to prevent leaks, achieve long-term durability, and permit access for maintenance. A review of various large skylight design strategies, including simple drained, engineered drainage systems, and face-sealed structural glass systems, will be undertaken. Skylight access for maintenance will also be discussed, including gantry systems, temporary access systems, and structural glass. The conclusion of the paper will focus on the proper planning for maintenance.
