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 Session Description Condominium fenestration replacement and restoration projects are intricate. While fenestration replacement/restoration is common for apartment buildings, executing at a condominium complex is challenging and requires careful planning and execution. Whether a condominium board opts for fenestration replacement or restoration depends on factors including logistical challenges, financial implications, ownership responsibility, code considerations, performance requirements, and impact on residents. We will review these factors from the design professional’s perspective and will discuss the complex dynamics between the property manager, condominium board, unit owner, and design professional throughout the project. This presentation is intended for design professionals who work with condominium clients and property managers.

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 Minimum requirements for stucco wall cladding design, construction, and products for buildings are specified in the building code and its ASTM stucco reference standards, where harmony is expected. However, certain aspects of these requirements are confusing or not explicitly clear, inducing conflict and division that pervades the stucco industry in the United States. Clear, fact-based, and compelling answers to the most significant stucco conundrums facing the stucco industry today will be presented as significant new information, resulting from specialized research and a combined 60+ years of stucco industry experience to encourage consistency and quality within the stucco industry going forward.

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 In part due to a lack of air and thermal control, existing buildings consume over 40% of the energy in the United States. It is important to initiate energy conservation retrofits to achieve optimal thermal design which can achieve large cuts in consumption of energy and reduce CO2 exposure. During this session, two goals for the retrofit cladding —increasing thermal efficiency and reducing condensation issues—will be discussed. Additionally, an examination of the modeling of prevalent commercial wall assemblies to benchmark initial hygrothermal controls will take place. A review of using smart rainscreen retrofit methods and how these same assemblies are reanalyzed for improvements will be conducted. Finally, a case study highlighting this process will be reviewed and presented.

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.
