IIBEC Online Education

Course Overview This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Houston, Texas.  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 The deeper the foundation, the higher the risk for water infiltration. Below-grade waterproofing systems are a critical part of the overall building enclosure and should be carefully selected to properly protect the structure and interior below-grade space. This presentation will discuss the challenges specific to deep foundation waterproofing as well as provide best practices for various below-grade elements with which the waterproofing will interface. New construction project examples and scenarios will be included to elaborate on the challenges, discussions, and solutions..

Description Exterior wall assemblies serve many functions. Architects must design buildings that are energy efficient, manage bulk water, and reduce air leakage in addition to meeting the fire performance standards required by the International Building Code (IBC). It is important to recognize that making changes to the exterior wall design may trigger the need to retest or reconsider all the wall functions. It is also important to understand that fire safety is not dependent upon the presence or absence of any one material or wall configuration. Performance testing such as NFPA 285 is a tool for gaining an understanding of how assemblies will perform. While fire containment and compartmentalization are often supported by performance testing, they are also part of a multilayered approach to fire safety that must include prevention, detection, occupant protection, and extinguishment.

Course Overview This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Houston, Texas.  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 In the roofing industry the materials, assemblies, installation, and warranties should be well-considered, but special attention should be placed on meeting the International Building Code (IBC). A roofing specification is a road map for the roof assembly to meet the building code based on performance and quality. Though this might seem clear-cut, the difficulty comes from understanding the changes within the building code, its criteria, and industry changes. Design professionals face questions, such as: Are the listed ASTM standards within the IBC for material, testing, and roof assemblies current, or have they become obsolete, deleted, or replaced? ASCE 7 now has multiple versions that are used in different states/organizations. Which should be used and when? FM Global has changed its criteria. How does this fit in? These questions, combined with the pressures on the design professional, such as the demand on turnaround time and services, increase the liability of knowing the IBC requirements and the limitation of educating emerging professionals on material mechanics. The result can be a conflict between code and specification. This presentation will offer a clearer understanding of the building code, its criteria, and the critical changes that could affect the specification and the installation of a roofing assembly.   Course Access Courses are accessible in LearnUpon for one year from the date of purchase.

Course Overview This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Houston, Texas.  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 Wind resistance of edge metal continues to be a concern during high-wind events. Edge metal at perimeters and corners is often determined to be the initial point of failure of roofing systems during wind events. The loss of edge-metal functionality can lead to progressive failure of a larger portion of the roof system, potentially allowing water infiltration and damage to or loss of assets in the interior. As part of the Wind Hazard and Infrastructure Performance (WHIP) Center’s research initiatives, GAF and Florida International University (FIU) performed full-scale wind-tunnel testing of edge metal at FIU’s Wall of Wind. Four (4) full-scale wind-tunnel tests were performed using one (1) contractor-fabricated, 24-gauge L-shaped edge metal system with an 8-inch face, 4-inch horizontal flange, and a ¾-inch drip edge. Two (2) different 22-gauge cleat shapes were used—a standard 6-inch cleat and an 8-inch cleat with a 1-inch horizontal return. Four (4) different cleat-fastener locations were used—one low, one in the middle, and one high on the vertical surface, as well as one on the horizontal surface. A discussion on the test parameters and outcomes of the different cleats and associated attachment locations will be provided. Best-practice design and installation recommendations will be given.

Course Overview This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Houston, Texas.  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 Discussions between architects, building enclosure consultants, product manufacturers, and contractors frequently center around common misunderstandings regarding commercial building enclosures. This presentation will address five common topics using case studies, specific project examples, and citations from previous literature. These topics are: 1) The importance of relative humidity, dew point, and how they are managed in a building enclosure and the difference between a static analysis and dynamic analysis (WUFI). 2) How the permeability of individual layers of the building enclosure versus moisture flow through an entire assembly. 3) The importance of aligning the control layers at penetrations such as windows and how to ensure continuity at important interfaces such as the roof and foundation. 4) An analysis of when structural sheathing is needed in commercial construction compared with wood-framed construction and when structural sheathing can be used to improve the efficiency of a building schedule. 5) An overview of NFPA 285 testing, the information it provides, and its importance for the safety of buildings. Finally, the presenters will discuss a bonus topic citing specific examples of how results found via lab test methods can set unrealistic expectations for in-field conditions..

Description Building codes can be complicated and often subject to the interpretation of design and public officials alike. These interpretations can have significant effects on the scope and cost of repairs to existing buildings and building enclsoure components, such as roofs, windows, and cladding. In this presentation, learners gain an understanding of the basic requirements of building codes and how those requirements relate to existing buildings and building enclosures during the investigation and/or repair process. In many jurisdictions, the International Existing Building Code governs the remediation of damage to a structure or enclosure components, which are classified as “repairs.” Repairs can often be completed in like kind and quality of materials without triggering code upgrades for egress or thermal efficiency. The case studies highlight real-world examples of code analysis pertaining to egress interpretations for repair/replacement of window units in Florida hurricane zones and unsafe/dangerous roof deck conditions that existed prior to wind damage at a warehouse in the Midwest. In both cases, a combination of adopted codes governed and detailed code analyses will be presented to the learners to understand the differences and when each applies.
