This talk revisits some issues discussed during two presentations from 2007 that focused sealant adhesion and compatibility with self adhered membranes. This talk will focus on common issues with material compatibility and the effect on building enclosure performance as well as air barrier material transitions.

A “passive” approach to building design uses architectural and building enclosure elements aligned with local, micro-climate considerations to meet thermal comfort requirements. This can significantly reduce the need for “active” mechanical and electrical equipment that would typically provide heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting.
CLSB - Collaborative Life Science Building is an extremely complicated, hyper-fast construction schedule project with several large clients and an amazing set of functions housed within the building. The building enclosure was developed with key lessons that will apply to most other building types.
"Building Envelope Commissioning" will discuss the process of envelope commissioning and how the NIBS structure can be implemented. ASHRAE states, "The Commissioning Process is a quality-focused process for achieving, verifying, and documenting that the performance of facilities, systems, and assemblies meets defined objectives and criteria."
