Designing control barriers to manage bulk water, air, thermal bridging and vapor in building enclosures is only the beginning to an effective exterior. While straightforward along flat, continuous surfaces, it is the non-continuous conditions, including transitions, penetrations and interruptions that present design and construction complexity to maintain effective barrier performance.

When challenges arise due to deterioration of the glazing system, it is important to understand what your options are. You want to be mindful of the original design intent, restore performance and extend the life of the system. This may include a variety of approaches – ranging from wet sealing the existing assembly to extruded silicone overlays to complete removal and replacement of the existing glazing system – but all built around developing a comprehensive restoration solution.

Evolving codes and standards, market-based incentives, sustainability concerns and a global movement toward better building design are driving the adoption of specialized mechanical ventilation systems. In this presentation, we will overview both Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) and Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS) and how these specialized ventilation systems work in concert with Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems to provide a complete high-performance HVAC solution.
