This presentation examines the critical nature of tie-ins, transitions, and continuity throughout the building envelope. These critical areas may only represent 1% of the building envelope, but it is said that 99% of building leaks occur as a result of incompatibility, adhesion loss, or lack of awareness when transitioning from one building envelope system to another. This in-depth review will describe common types of compatibility, best practice installations, and how to avoid costly building design and construction oversights.
Learning Objectives:
- Review industry definitions.
- Discuss common types of compatibility considerations.
- Recognize common costly building design and construction oversights.
- Explore continuity solutions for the entire building envelope, including below grade waterproofing, above grade walls, plaza decks, and roofing systems.
