While these hidden components add little to the building's visual appearance, wall flashings are essential parts of its weather protection system. Often, decisions made in the name of cost efficiency provide very modest monetary savings when compared to the resulting degradation in reliability and durability. The speaker looks at various building failures and explores what could have been done differently to provide a better chance for success. The presentation takes a critical, balanced look at various flashing system options, detailing the associated advantages and drawbacks.Thu, 12 Jan 2012 13:29:23 GMThttps://webportal.csinet.org/events/vieweventdetail.aspx?code=20E15CD3-E819-E111-8852-0019B9E160B2This course will focus on the lessons learned through the design and construction of a LEED certified industrial project.

There are 'rules of the thumb' and the 'unsaid truths' as there are in any other industry. These rules are not in a rule book or a text book. They are learned through experience.Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:33:43 GMThttps://webportal.csinet.org/events/vieweventdetail.aspx?code=0EE90AFF-494B-E111-A916-0019B9E160B2One of the biggest challenges a contractor faces is the accurate interpretation and execution of building specifications, which can pose critical legal risks for all parties involved, including the designers and engineers who develop the specifications. While both design and performance specifications are frequently used in construction projects, the way they are handled from a legal perspective can greatly differ.
