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 Temple Emanu-El is a historic synagogue built in 1927 with distinct cast stone facades located in Providence, Rhode Island. 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 In an effort to increase awareness and reduce the embodied carbon impacts of the building enclosure, this presentation will share research into current enclosure materials and systems, compare various enclosure systems to understand their relative carbon impacts from one to another, and highlight gaps in the critical data needed to calculate whole building life cycle analyses. The presentation will start by introducing environmental product declarations (EPDs) and their governing product category rules (PCRs) and will conclude by providing participants a glimpse into where the industry is headed in regard to future code and legislation requirements for low-carbon materials.

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 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 Many of the buildings constructed following World War II up to 1970 can generally be categorized as midcentury modern. During that time, new technologies allowed masonry to be used in such a manner to achieve minimalist expressions with an emphasis on functionality, organic, and geometric forms and mixing of materials, all characteristics common to the mid-century modern style. The widespread use of thin stone cladding systems, stack bonded brick, flat terra cotta panels, concrete, and glass block was the masonry pallet used by designers during this period. As these facades have aged, issues related to durability, serviceability, and water management have developed, which were uncommon within traditional masonry facades. The evaluation, maintenance, repair, and restoration of these architectural gems is generally governed by the Secretary of the Interior Standards considering many of these buildings have surpassed 50 years of service and thus are categorized as “historic,” often qualifying for the National Register of Historic Places. This presentation will break down the typical materials and systems used in masonry construction during the midcentury modern era. An exploration of commonly occurring issues with these structures and review of repair approaches, all supplemented with short case studies, will also be provided.

Course Overview This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC Building Enclosure Symposium in Orlando, Florida. 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 Many modern enclosures include delegated designs of building components by specialty engineers who are not a part of the design team and where the final system designs are not fully developed until after construction is underway. While delegated design can seemingly mitigate risk for the design team by allowing third-party specialized engineered systems, the entire project can be impacted if the delegated design is not properly defined, executed, integrated, and coordinated. This presentation will focus on the problems resulting from building enclosure-delegated designs and provide tools for owners, contractors, and design professionals to mitigate problems, avoiding unnecessary risks.
