This course titled Vertical Envelope Assemblies is the second module in a four-part series geared towards the development of Building Envelope Risk Managers. In this course we will:

Understand the basic types of Wall Systems, how performance standards are determined, and when delegated design may be required.
Understand the various Components of the wall systems that comprise the vertical building envelope.
Understand what it means to achieve Environmental Separation and the roles that Air Barriers/Water Resistive Barriers play to in the process.
Understand Testing related to commissioning the vertical portions of the building envelope.

BECx as Risk Management Course

Lawsuits in North America last an average of 17 months with the average value of construction disputes being $18 million! Building Envelope issues represented 75% of those claims.
Building Envelope Commissioning (BECx) is a process that can manage construction defect liability by simply ensuring the performance of the building envelope. This course explains the BECx process and provides “hands-on” training for tests commonly performed on the building envelope.
Target Audience

This course is intended for anyone who participates in the design or construction of the exterior building envelope from a supervisory position.

Building Officials
Facility and Plant Managers
Architects & Engineers (Designers and CA staff)
Program Managers
Project Managers
Superintendents
Trade Foremen
Testing Organizations

Cx-BECx in Construction (Module 1/4 BECx as Risk Management)
2022-09-12 08:00 - 17:00 UTC
This course titled Building Envelope Commissioning in Construction is the first module in a four-part series geared towards the development of Building Envelope Risk Managers. In this course we will

Review the Cx process (the process is the same whether you are commissioning the MEP systems or the envelope).
Receive “hands on” experience with each of the functional tests that are commonly included in the BECx process (window testing, roof uplift, blower door, and more).
Receive a sample BECx plan.
Share the ever popular “lessons learned” from projects that did not successfully manage risk (names changed to protect the guilty).
