Live In-Person Seminar - Mixed-Topics - Boston, MA

08:00 AM - 09:00 AM

The overall emphasis of this presentation is to discuss waterproofing systems for below grade structural applications with an emphasis on foundation walls and underslab applications. This technical presentation will begin with a discussion covering the definition of waterproofing versus dampproofing, a brief history of waterproofing, and examination of the typical types of structures that require below grade waterproofing. The presentation will then discuss the design considerations that affect the selection of a waterproofing system, including water management, waterproofing location, and protection system.

09:00 AM - 10:00 AM

This session explores evolving trends in building enclosure technology, and subsequent changes in energy efficient building design; with especial focus on the role of continuous exterior insulation (CI). The net energy savings realized in a properly insulated building are by now well understood, and these savings are increasingly being required by stringent local building and energy codes. Current building science research and field monitoring data will be presented, to demonstrate how the effective R value of various insulating materials perform and change in differing regional climates, temperature ranges, and seasonal conditions. Strategies for designing and constructing highly insulated and cost effective wall assemblies while still minimizing thermal bridging are also discussed.

This course includes an overview of the advantages of wood, steel and concrete to obtain the most sustainable buildings. The program will explore how hybrid structures result in savings of over 50 percent in total floor thickness which can significantly reduce the embodied and operational carbon emissions of a building. Course participants will understand how combining mass timber with hybrid structures help in eliminating columns in a layout by increasing the spans of the grid.
