IIBEC Online Education

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. Speaker(s)/Author(s) Jordan Swail, BESc, P.Eng (ON).

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 Many low-slope roof systems installed over insulated framing spaces develop condensation problems. Unlike similar steep-slope roof systems that use convection- and wind-driven ventilation to dissipate moisture, effective venting is difficult to achieve in low-slope applications. The risk of condensation problems is especially of concern in framing spaces that are fully insulated to avoid the use of sprinklers in accordance with NFPA 13 requirements, which is the focus of this session. Interior air can flow into these insulated framing spaces through ceiling penetrations, interior walls, pressurized ductwork, and other sources. Solutions often involve using unvented roof systems that consider insulation and air barrier placement. Recent code changes have reduced (although not eliminated) the risk of condensation in unvented insulated roof framing systems. This session will review the causes of condensation in low slope insulated frame roof systems and methods for preventing them.

When a lightning protection system already exists, coordination becomes even more vital to a project. By providing case studies from critical facilities to hotels, we will outline the necessary steps for the proper removal and installation process of a lightning protection system to reduce issues such as roofing damage and improper function of a system. An update on standards and codes that impact both industries will be included as we discuss assessment and specification. Beyond the installation process, we will provide suggested communication methods and timing for coordination—from the initial project assessment through maintenance—to ensure the integrity of the roof and the rooftop systems.

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 The Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Klarman building includes the development of a new 380,000-square-foot (sq ft) 12-story hospital. The building enclosure includes unitized and stick-built curtainwalls, terracotta cladding, metal panels, low-slope membrane roofing, and a large green roof plaza. The building abuts and connects to an existing hospital building. This presentation will explore the challenges and design considerations for a new modern hospital building, including waterproofing over highly sensitive spaces, expansion joint detailing to adjacent existing unitized construction, and unitized curtainwall detailing. We will discuss the marriage between the architectural design and the enclosure detailing, as well as the constructability challenges faced throughout the project.

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 Mass timber (MT) has been used for thousands of years. However, only in recent decades has it been used as laminated panels in building construction, and this panel’s usage is growing in popularity. We will discuss publications that have studied the impact of MT moisture exposure and the need to protect the material from elevated moisture content. Laboratory test results on mass timber wetting and drying studies have shown how drying is essential to the material’s integrity. Field observations will be reviewed to understand moisture impacts during and post-construction. With its introduction as panels, new strategies must be employed for a successful installation to protect MT from moisture damage and ensure occupants’ long-term health and safety. This session will discuss moisture protection methods from manufacturing to post-construction. A risk management plan will be suggested to create a sustainable, stable structure and preserve the beauty of the mass timber building.

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 What roof type is ideal for photovoltaic (PV) system mounting? What about “solar zone,” roof orientation, environmental and collateral loads, system sizing, the building enclosure, and life-cycle cost analyses? All of these factors affect the sustainability and financial pro forma of the roof and PV system. New technologies can be daunting. When it comes to PV design, small shifts in thinking can bring the things that matter into focus, producing huge savings and production efficiencies for improving the client’s overall ROI. This presentation will review and discuss the concepts of treating the roof and PV system as a single asset with supporting ROIs and IRR. Upon this review, participants will have a better understanding of the numbers regarding the ROI and IRR.
