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

SUMMARY:BEC: Austin Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join BEC: Austin for their monthly meeting featuring a presentation and lunch. REGISTER NOW>> \nThe Architect’s Building Science Toolkit\n \nWUFI is a hygrothermal modeling software tool used to evaluate how heat\, air\, and moisture move through building enclosure assemblies\, and it can be a powerful addition to an architect’s building science toolkit. This course demystifies hygrothermal analysis and shows how\, with a manageable amount of work\, architects can integrate it into their design process to evaluate wall and roof assemblies\, test common assumptions\, and move beyond rules of thumb and “code minimum” thinking – you don’t need a PhD. \nUsed as a design tool\, hygrothermal analysis supports health and safety by reducing the likelihood of conditions that contribute to mold growth\, improving the durability and longevity of construction\, and helping anticipate moisture risks and understand drying potential for new construction\, renovations\, and historic preservation. It also supports environmental stewardship by enabling more confident evaluation of insulation and enclosure strategies that can reduce energy use without inadvertently increasing moisture-related failure risk. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe what hygrothermal analysis is.\nUnderstand how hygrothermal analysis software can be used as a design tool and become familiar with the process.\nUnderstand the conditions where mold growth can occur.\nExamine several case studies to see how hygrothermal analysis improved durability and performance of roof and wall assemblies.\n\nCredits:\n1 LU/HSW \nPresenter:\nWill Wood\, AIA\, is a Principal at McKinney York Architects. Educated in architecture and engineering\, he maintains an interest in both design and building science.  In addition to leading design on institutional\, commercial\, and residential projects\, Will oversees sustainability and fueling the design culture in the office. He has a strong interest in materiality and detailing and is an advocate for modernizing building practices and energy efficiency. \nREGISTER NOW>> \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.

SUMMARY:BEC: Austin Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:BEC:Austin will host their monthly meeting and presentation including lunch at the AIA Austin Center.\nLunch sponsored by PROSOCO. \nSealant Durability as a Factor in Litigation\n \nSealant is used on every building\, and used wrong on most of them. From product selection to installation to maintenance\, ignorance about exterior wall and window sealant joints (i.e.\, vertical joints) leads to countless premature failures; therefore\, durability is a central factor in construction litigation. There is also an epidemic of premature horizontal sealant joint failures throughout the United States; they are more prevalent than vertical sealant joint failures. In addition to the usual problems like leakage\, horizontal joint failures can result in personal injury from trip and fall incidents. In many cases\, there are unrealistic expectations of how long a sealant should\nserve its intended purpose – its design life. On the other side\, mistakes shorten the sealant’s functional performance – its service life.\nTo bridge this knowledge gap\, this presentation will synthesize a practical understanding of sealant durability based on theoretical behavior\, observations from numerous failure case studies\, and research and test results from The Durability Lab\, with the following learning objectives:\n1. Understand factors that affect initial performance.\n2. Understand factors that affect durability.\n3. Understand laboratory and field test methods that provide meaningful results.\n4. Understand project variables that affect product selection. \n1 LU credit \nRegister Now\nAbout the presenter: \nDavid H.
