SUMMARY:BEC: Austin Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join BEC: Austin for their monthly meeting featuring a presentation and lunch. \nREGISTER NOW \nPrefabricated Exterior Wall Assemblies: Herding Cats in Hard Hats \n \nPrefabrication of exterior wall assemblies has been explored since the 1920s and 1930s\, so the concept of their use is nothing new to the built environment. However\, consideration of the effects on the air\, water\, and thermal boundaries of buildings are the concerns of the construction industry for the 21st century. No matter if the wall assembly is constructed in the field or in a shop\, it must have continuity in their air\, water\, and thermal barriers. Prefabricated exterior wall assemblies are designed and constructed to meet these requirements. In this presentation\, our goal will be to introduce two perspectives on the use of prefabricated exterior wall assemblies. One is the General Contractor’s experience with prefabricated exterior wall assemblies and the delegated design process. The other is the experience of the building enclosure consultant reviewing the design and observing the fabrication and erection of these wall systems. Case studies will be reviewed with respect to code and/or industry association inspection requirements\, design and construction reviews\, and lessons learned in the coordination of these assemblies with other trades. \nLearning Objectives \n\nDescribe the history and different types of prefabricated exterior wall panels.\nContracting and coordinating the delegated design process with the applicable trade partners. Turn-Key\, Means & Methods\, and discuss who owns the details.\nApplicable codes and standards. Explore how to test and inspect these assemblies.\nDemonstrate the process of designing and construction of the prefabricated exterior wall assembly and how it incorporates the air\, thermal and water barriers within it.\n\n1 LU/HSW \nREGISTER NOW \nSpeakers\nKayla Maines and Howard Colton with Terracon\, and Trevor Brown with JE Dunn. \n \n\nBEC: Austin is an interdisciplinary organization that promotes the exchange of information on building enclosures and related science specific to the climate of Central Texas. \nInterdisciplinary: architects\, engineers\, contractors\, building owners\, consultants\, facility managers\, code officials\, educators\, manufacturers\, and those with a stake in building enclosure performance \nExchange of information: discussion\, training\, education\, outreach\, and awareness \nBuilding enclosures and related science: energy-efficiency\, moisture control\, indoor air quality\, longevity\, and durability \nBEC: Austin typically meets the first Wednesday of each month from 12-1pm. To receive reminders\, please sign up for the BEC mailing list here.\n2026 BEC: Austin Committee\nChair: Michael Salinas\, AIA\nChair Elect: John Byrd\, AIA\nAIA Austin staff liaison: Julia Brown
