SUMMARY:November 13th Solar Ready Roofs That Aren't: Preventing Costly Design Failures in Solar PV Installations
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nAs cities and states nationwide adopt “solar ready” roof requirements\, a critical gap has emerged between code compliance and real-world performance. Many roofs certified as “solar ready” have proven anything but—failing catastrophically when solar arrays are installed\, sometimes at wind pressures less than half their design ratings. \nThis presentation examines real-world solar PV projects where essential design and installation assumptions simply fell through the cracks of project communications\, resulting in expensive damage and liability. You’ll learn about the limitations of wind tunnel testing\, understand the cautions in FM Global standards\, and discover how to prevent these failures in your own projects. \nWhether you’re a roofing consultant\, architect\, engineer\, or building envelope specialist\, this session will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of solar PV installations and protect both your clients and your professional reputation. \nAbout the Presenter\nPhil Dregger\, PE\, RRC\, FELLOW-IIBEC\, is Vice President at Salas O’Brien and a seasoned investigator and expert witness specializing in roofing and waterproofing. Phil has investigated damage related to condensation\, ponded water\, and strong winds including roofs with solar PV. He has expertise in cold storage condensation issues marked by his skill in hygrothermal analysis\, including wood decay\, biological growth\, and corrosion\, utilizing tools like WUFI Pro. A recognized figure in the industry\, Phil actively contributes through presentations to industry and legal groups and has authored numerous technical articles. His contributions have been acknowledged with prestigious awards including the ASTM D08 William C Cullen Award and the IIBEC Joe Hale Lifetime Achievement Award. \nPresentation Synopsis\nCities and States across the US continue to adopt “Solar-Ready” roof requirements along the lines of California’s code mandates. The State of Oregon recently issued a rule amending the Oregon Residential Specialty Code for “Solar Readiness” for all new residential structures. However\, it is not always clear what “solar readiness” truly means. Unfortunately\, many “Solar Ready” roofs have proven not to be solar ready—at least not for the type of solar array installed over them. This presentation will review solar PV projects where key design and installation assumptions simply fell through the cracks of project communications\, with disastrous results. \nLearning Objectives\nAttendees will gain a better understanding of: \n\nExamples of “solar ready” ordinances and requirements\nRoles of different parties involved in typical solar PV projects\nLimitations inherent in wind tunnel testing using “rigid” models of panels and roofs\nCautions contained in FM Global LPDS 1-15 regarding installing solar PV over mechanically attached roof membranes\nA case history where the solar PV and roof membrane were damaged at wind pressures less than half design\n\n  \nRegister Today!\nEvent Flyer \nSponsorship Opportunities \nTabletop Sponsorships | Bar Sponsorship \n

SUMMARY:Mass Timber Moisture Monitoring and Simulation:  A Marine Climate Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Technical Dinner Meeting: 10\, July\, 2024\n\n\n\nSynopsis:\n\n\nMass timber is an emerging structural technology with both environmental and architectural benefits. Aggressive moisture protection of mass timber products is generally recommended during installation but can result in significant cost and coordination challenges for builders. Field measurement of wetting and drying of mass timber on built projects is limited in North America. \nThis presentation will share moisture data taken during a wet winter in the Pacific Northwest during the construction of a six-story\, multi-family\, Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) building. We will present a comparison of our field data to corresponding hygrothermal analysis\, as well as our Moisture Protection Plan and Moisture Mitigation Plan. \n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n1. Understanding the background of CLT and how it is currently used; \n2. Understanding the analysis of moisture content readings correlated to weather conditions from this case study; \n3. Understanding the significance of our findings; and \n4. Learning how to strategize mass timber project assembly in wet climates for best value and outcomes. \nMeet Your Presenter:\n\nBrad is a Principal with 4EA Building Science in Seattle. As an engineer and building scientist\, Brad has been specializing in the design of durable and energy efficient building enclosures for nearly two decades.

SUMMARY:TECHNICAL DINNER MEETING: A Case Study for Wind Uplift on Pedestal Pavers
DESCRIPTION:Blown Away: A Case Study for Wind Uplift on Pedestal Pavers and the Provisions of ANSI/SPRI RP-4 \n7 September\, 2023 \nSynopsis of Presentation: \nPedestal paver systems are a common and desirable finish system for use over exterior plaza decks\, balconies and rooftop amenity spaces. In regions with historically lower wind loads\, like the San Francisco Bay Area\, pedestal paver systems typically consists of concrete or stone paver units gravity loaded over adjustable pedestals installed over insulation\, drainage composite and waterproofing layers to form a complete enclosure assembly. One of the major advantages of these systems is their loose-laid nature and the relative ease with which they can be temporarily  removed for performing maintenance\, renovations and repairs. \nHowever\, these systems can be highly sensitive to uplift forces generated during extreme windstorms. In some cases\, the wind uplift forces can exceed the dead weight of the pavers resulting in displacement of the pavers or in some cases complete blow off from the underlying structure.\nWith the ferocity and frequency of extreme storms seemingly increasing\, the risk for failures also appears to be growing. This presentation will use a recent case study to illustrate the key factors that must be considered for the successful design and construction of pedestal paver systems\, including a case study of remedial paver tie-down system engineered to improve the uplift resistance of an existing plaza deck. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Understanding the basic types of pedestal paver systems and their applications.\n2. Understanding the basics of wind loading and the effects uplift on paver stability.\n3. Understanding how local topography and urban environments can affect wind loading.\n4. Learn how to design and install a successful pedestal paver waterproofing system using the provisions of ANSI/SPRI RP-4.\n5. Learn from a case study of a pedestal paver failure and remedial repair. \nMeet your Presenter: \n \nRegistration and Networking: 5:30-6:30 pm \nDinner Served: 6:30 pm \nPresentation / Q&A: 6:45-8:00 pm \nRegister Today!\nTable Top Sponsorship Opportunity \nEvent Flyer \n

SUMMARY:Technical Dinner Meeting: Cold Storage Condensation Challenges and Cures
DESCRIPTION:Insulated metal panels (IMP) are often used to form exterior walls of cold-storage buildings. The panels are near perfect vapor barriers. Joints between panels and flashings applied to panels\, not so much. When water vapor finds a way in\, it condenses on the first surface it contacts below its dewpoint. The condensed water accumulates until it drips inside or forms ice. This presentation will review the results of condensation investigations at several large cold storage buildings to illustrate common water vapor intrusion pathways and  some novel repairs techniques to block them. \nOur speaker Phil Dregger\, PE\, of Salas O’Brien\, will be sharing his specialized experience on the topic September 7\, 2022 \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Understand the non-intuitive hygrothermal physics of cold storage buildings (e.g.\, cold air sinks).\n2. Review common air/water intrusion pathways (e.g.\, IMP side laps\, roof to IMP flashings\, IMP penetrations).\n3. Discuss how air movement between laps of metal roof deck panels can bypass “vapor dams” above partition walls separating high and low humidity environments inside.\n4. Understand how to promote “drying” of condensed water to the inside.\n5. Discuss the advantages of using reinforced fluid-applied flashings in lieu of conventional membrane flashings at terminations and transitions. \nNetworking and Registration 5:30 PM – 6:45 PM |  Dinner and Presentation 6:45 PM – 8:15 \n2022-09-07 IIBEC NorCal Chapter Dinner Meeting Flyer \nSign-up TODAY to attend! \nSponsorship Opportunity
