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. 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. Course Access Courses are accessible in LearnUpon for one year from the date of purchase.

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 ASCE 7-16 contains significant changes from ASCE 7-10 in the areas of seismic design, wind design, and snow design, along with a new chapter on design against tsunami loads. Several of the seismic chapters have been extensively rewritten. As ASCE 7 eventually becomes law through adoption by the International Building Code (IBC) and then through legal building codes of local jurisdiction adopting IBC’s standards, a practicing engineer must be diligent to keep up with these changes. On the East coast of the United States, wind design controls most of the roofing design of a building, as well as strict design parameters. Course Access Courses are accessible in LearnUpon for one year from the date of purchase. Credit Start Date July 31, 2023 Credit Expiration Date July 31, 2026 Course Prerequisites Understand wind load effects on bindings and be familiar with ASCE 7-16 wind provisions.

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 Codes are placing  increased focus on the performance of the building enclosure. One increasingly popular concept is the introduction of backstops to limit the approach of compensating a shortfall in the thermal performance of enclosures using efficiencies from other systems.  A contrast of the backstops adopted in United States and Canadian jurisdictions will take place The challenge for high-rise buildings using the case study from one of Canada’s tallest Passive House buildings will be outlined during this presentation. Examples from the Building Envelope Thermal Bridging Guide (Morrison Hershfield, Evoke, and Open Technologies 2023) will illustrate the thermal limitations of traditional spandrel design and will conclude with examples of how manufacturers are adapting to meet this challenge. Course Access Courses are accessible in LearnUpon for one year from the date of purchase. Credit Start Date July 31, 2023 Credit Expiration Date July 31, 2026 Course Prerequisites An understanding of energy codes and awareness of thermal bridging.
