IIBEC Online Education

This one-hour course will cover electronic leak detection (ELD) test methods that can be used as part of the quality control program for roofing and waterproofing membranes. Participants will learn about the principles outlined in the ASTM D7877-14, Standard Guide for Electronic Methods for Detecting and Locating Leaks in Waterproof Membranes, and ASTM D8231-19, Standard Practice for the Use of a Low Voltage Electronic Scanning System for Detecting and Locating Breaches in Roofing and Waterproofing Membranes. Learners will also be able to identify which roof assemblies and systems are compatible with ELD testing.   Shaun Katz Shaun Katz has been the sales manager at Detec Systems for five years and has over 20 years of experience in customer service, sales, and business administration. He has assisted contractors, architects, consultants, manufacturers, facility managers, and building owners with forensic leak investigations, as well as leak detection in new construction. He has performed presentations and demonstrated ELD throughout the United States and Canada. Katz was awarded the 2020 Presenter of the Year Award from the IIBEC Chicago Chapter. His goal is to provide a basic understanding of ELD and to assist design teams with ensuring valid and conclusive ELD.   Read more

Design solutions must be buildable in the real world. Façade design intent, geometry, and materials must come together in a way that allows structural loading, environmental protection, and optimal long-term performance. Performance mock-ups bridge the gap between conceptual design and construction and allow project teams to test expectations and fine tune the plans prior to installation. This step is particularly important with innovative façade designs that incorporate new materials or complex integrations between various standard assemblies. A performance mock-up is commonly understood as a tool to test previously untested cladding and glazing assemblies. However, it can also be a valuable tool for understanding constructability, sequencing, and integration detailing. Transition detailing, in particular, is unique to each project, and while the design may include transition concepts and shop drawings may be carefully detailed, getting the systems to work together can be a challenge and result in unintended design changes, as well as schedule and cost impacts during construction. In this presentation, we will explore how performance mock-ups translate design intricacies into constructible assemblies, and ultimately, a successful project. We will discuss laboratory and on-site mock-ups and how to make the most of each, including strategies for planning, timing, testing, and follow-through Ryan Upp Simpson Gumpertz ​&​ Heger | Los Angeles, CA Ryan Upp is a senior project manager in the Building Technology Division of Simpson Gumpertz ​&​ Heger’s Los Angeles, CA, office.
