Technical Roundtable: Challenges of "Fly by" Conditions

When:  Nov 7, 2018 from 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM (CT)
Associated with  Chicago

Description

The Constructability Challenges of "Fly by" Construction Conditions at the Terminations of High Performing Enclosure Systems.

Presented by:

Steve Black, Quality Support Manager | Power Construction
Rob Falconer, Quality Support Manager | Power Construction


Parapets and soffits can be challenging conditions to detail, when the complexity of modern building enclosure assemblies is added the opportunities for unplanned air infiltration and moisture accumulation are numerous.

Join Power Construction's Quality Group as they explore some real world examples of these details and the steps required to mitigate the risks.
Hint: It looks good on the screen it may not work out once tolerances and typical construction practices are used to build these details.


Cost: Complimentary to members and nonmembers
Continuing Education: 1.0 AIA/CES HSW/LU

Learning Objectives:

  1. Recognize the potential conditions which can lead to unintended air infiltration and moisture accumulation at parapet and soffit transitions.
  2. Recognize the challenges associated with extending a high performance enclosure around these condition.
  3. Understand the impact of typical construction tolerances can have on the constructability these details.
  4. Take steps at the CD phase through annotation and enlarged details to mitigate the movement of unwanted air that can lead to moisture issues.

Registration ends Oct. 31 for priority seating. 

Limited seating available on a first come basis. Complimentary to members and non-members. Non-members requesting to attend will be added to a waiting list until priority registration ends. Notification of available space is sent to the waitlist registrations at least two business days in advance.
