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.

Over many years and through various repair campaigns the cast stone facades exhibited significant freeze-thaw damage, blistered, and peeling coatings, as well as spalled concrete. Starting in 2015, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE) collaborated with the congregation to develop, design, and execute a restoration of the sanctuary facades including replacement of the original cast stone units with new cast stone units. This presentation offers an insiders-view of the investigation, design, and challenges with recladding a historic composite mass masonry facade.

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 vast inventory of existing buildings with exposed concrete framing will inevitably require repairs. For concrete-frame buildings where the exposed structure also serves as the building enclosure, deterioration can result in structural issues, fall hazards, and unsatisfactory building enclosure performance including water leakage and thermal bridging. This session will present information regarding deterioration and repair approaches from both structural and building enclosure performance perspectives. Topics discussed include concrete construction techniques over time, exterior condition assessment best practices, building enclosure performance requirements and energy codes, and considerations for preventative maintenance and repairs using both time-tested and novel approaches.

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.

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.
