IIBEC Online Education

This presentation initially took place at IIBEC's 2022 International Convention and Trade Show in Orlando, Florida. New research and building code provisions have improved appropriate means to continuously insulate walls and integrate fenestration in punched openings for optimal performance. This presentation reviews structural wind resistance and water-resistance research supporting various detailing options in the context of new provisions in the latest editions of the International Building Code and International Residential Code. The presenter also discusses the thermal efficiency and thermal bridging implications of various details to integrate punched openings with continuous insulation on walls. In addition, the presentation includes a sneak-preview of new research on wind-driven rain hazard characterization as a means to improve guide design and detailing decisions for water-resistance of building enclosures and components.

Description As our urban and suburban spaces are becoming increasingly congested, the building industry is designing and constructing projects in areas and conditions that were previously considered uninhabitable, including below-grade spaces under constant hydrostatic pressure. Efforts to make such spaces habitable may include the use of waterproofing systems not previously used in the region. Discussion of the application of familiar materials in unfamiliar conditions may be useful to colleagues and industry professionals to help identify potential hazards and pitfalls associated with these waterproofing applications. In addition to the selection of waterproofing material and design detailing, this presentation explores preconstruction activities and applied strategies from the presenters’ experience. Various lessons learned in the field from projects with similar hydrostatic conditions are also reviewed. These lessons include recommended considerations for concrete placement, appropriate interfaces with other building enclosure systems, and repair solutions for possible damages resulting from unanticipated field conditions.
