The Presentation will consist of:

• Describe the process for pre-construction meetings and key criteria and agenda items to ensure performance expectations are met, sequencing, details, etc.
• Explain the various test methods for installation for air & water performance by reviewing ASTM and AAMA test standards.
• Knowledge in critical aspects of design, based on building science principles.
• Successful mock up and testing program to verify continuity, compatibility and sequence of construction.

Learning Objectives

• Acquire knowledge in critical aspects of design, based on building science principles, by using sample details for continuity, redundancy and certain code requirements of the air barrier system.
• Describe the process for pre-construction meetings and key criteria and agenda items to ensure performance expectations are met, sequencing is done properly, details are well understood and transition from one trade to another is accomplished using sample plans.
• Explain the various test methods for installation verification for both air and water performance by reviewing ASTM and AAMA test standards and how they conducted and when they should be conducted through examples and photo’s
• Plan successful mock up and testing program to verify continuity, compatibility and sequence of construction by review of sample mock-up’s and test methods that can be applied to both quantify performance and provide a learning tool for the construction team.
