IIBEC Online Education

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 Commissioning of building systems has existed for many years; however, building enclosure commissioning (BECx) is relatively new to the design and construction industries. This presentation will provide an overview of the BECx practice, its benefits, and the process as defined by industry standards and codes. A discussion regarding the 10 common misconceptions of BECx will help learners further recognize the nuances related to providing this service. Additionally, multiple case studies highlighting the challenges, successes, and pitfalls of delivering modern BECx projects will be presented. This lecture will offer BECx providers the necessary tools to help owners and clients trust the BECx process. Speaker(s)/Author(s) Amaris Beza, PE, BECxP, CxA+BE Walter P. Moore and Associates, Inc.

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.

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   Establishing processes to coordinate and communicate among the trades ensures success for everyone by reducing errors, time delays, and costs. 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 This case study examines a situation where project stakeholders agreed the images reflected on the glass surface of over 250 newly installed IGUs were egregiously distorted and considered unacceptable. Upon completion of the forensic investigation, it was confirmed that the issue was the result of a vertical distortion streak on the outboard lites. Distortion of architectural glass is inherent to the heat-treating process. However, the vertical distortion streak discussed in this presentation could not be identified using traditional means for glass evaluation. Different methods for evaluating glass distortion will be discussed in this presentation. Professionals working on monumental projects requiring high-quality architectural glass will find this presentation and case study of particular interest.

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 While there is nothing new about wood decks, large warehouses, or mechanically attached, low-slope single-ply roof systems, current design and installation techniques have created a perfect storm resulting in performance and reliability issues that occur even under moderate weather events. This presentation will review existing mechanically attached, single-ply installations on large commercial warehouses to gain an understanding of building pressurization and wind uplift forces that can lead to premature failure of these systems. Upon completion, participants will recognize the limitations of OSB wood decking and the steps required for the successful design and installation of reliable and robust roof 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 Whole building airtightness testing, often referred to as “blower door testing”, is at the forefront of building performance verification, especially with the onset of net zero energy targets. Widespread adoption is currently limited to residential codes; however, there is considerable momentum in the commercial space. The IECC 2024 with the adoption of 2022 ASHRAE 90.1 will require whole building airtightness testing for most commercial buildings. This presentation outlines the new commercial building airtightness requirements, and test methods ASTM E779 and ASTM E3158, including the impact of airtightness requirements on design and construction. Additionally, the importance of using a qualified test technician will be discussed.
