IIBEC Online Education

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 Mass timber (MT) has been used for thousands of years. 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.

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 Large skylights are complex building enclosure systems that require careful consideration of access and maintenance strategies in order to reduce potential headaches for building owners and contractors. This presentation will discuss the challenges skylights face in order to prevent leaks, achieve long-term durability, and permit access for maintenance. A review of various large skylight design strategies, including simple drained, engineered drainage systems, and face-sealed structural glass systems, will be undertaken. Skylight access for maintenance will also be discussed, including gantry systems, temporary access systems, and structural glass. The conclusion of the paper will focus on the proper planning for maintenance. Speaker(s)/Author(s) Jordan Swail, BESc, P.Eng (ON).

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.

New research carried out over the last three years indicates several nuances and even gaps in the three-decades-long discussion of whether a black or white roof is better. This presentation will examine three of these new studies: a study by global consulting firm ICF on the impact of roof albedo on energy efficiency; a study by ICF on the impact of reflective roofs on urban heat islands; and a critical literature review by Clemson University of previously published studies and articles on roof albedo.

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.
