CODE CORNER

Openings—Part 1By: Ronald L. Geren, AIA, CSI, CCS, CCCA, SCIP

“The act or an instance of becoming open or being made to open.” “An open space serving as a passage orgap.” “An unfilled job or position; a vacancy.” “A breach or aperture.”1

The word “opening” has many meanings, as indicated above. However, with its many specific code-relateddefinitions, it is surprising that the International Building Code (IBC)2 does not provide its own definition of“opening.” So, in the absence of a code-specific definition, the latter definition from the above list is very aptwhen referring to doors, windows, and other “breaches” in fire-resistance-rated assemblies.

Unintended GreenwashingBy: Dan Marks, CSI CDT LEED Green Associate, Southwest Regional Manager for Stego Industries, LLC

Greenwashing is almost never intentional. Most manufacturers, for good reasons (ethical and legal), want to toutthe characteristics of their products with integrity and accuracy. Doing otherwise would run the risk of having aproduct removed from consideration by the design and construction communities (to say nothing of the effect onreputation). However, it often appears that the best of marketing intentions yield some of the most grievousexamples of ways in which sustainable characteristics are improperly reported, poorly interpreted, and/orinvented out of thin air. While there are several general categories in which these examples may fall, a fewstand out as perhaps the most common and, to one observer and industry member, inexcusable (despite thebest of intentions):

Misreading of LEED Rating SystemsLEED offers, with little argument, the most recognized rating system for evaluating building/constructionsustainability. Therefore, the fact that its credits are often misunderstood is problematic. While there are manyexamples of mistakes made in misreading or misreporting product information regarding the various RatingSystems under LEED, a few will suffice:

Manufacturers often that claim their systems or products "qualify" for LEED; however, LEED does not qualifyproducts individually or specifically. Products are evaluated based on how they fit into the intent of the creditswithin the rating system, and one product may provide significant contribution toward earning points in a givencredit, but LEED does not qualify or certify products.

Along similar lines, products can contribute toward specific credits, but it would be rare to have a singleproduct alone earn a point. A classic example pertains to Materials & Resources Credit 4: Recycled Contentwhere 1-2 points can be awarded if thresholds are met for recycled content of the total value of the buildingmaterials (by cost). Unless a single product comprised a very significant portion of the total cost of buildingmaterials, and also had a relatively large percentage of recycled content, the best it could hope to do wouldbe to contributetoward the intentions of this credit. A product simply being made of, say, 100% recycled content, denotescontribution toward the credit; however, most individual components or products comprise a very small pro-portion of the total costs of materials used in or for a building.

Material and Resources Credit 5: Regional Materials is designed to "increase demand for building materialsand products that are extracted and manufactured within the region." The key word here is 'and.' Often, amanufacturer will only provide information as to where their products are made or assembled; however, for apoint to be earned, at least 10% of the total building materials, by cost, must be "extracted, harvested orrecovered, as well as manufactured, within 500 miles of the project site."

The Point: Take general statements about productcontributions with a grain of salt, know intimately whatthe LEED Credits require and how points are earned,and scrutinize the hard data when evaluating a systemor material.

TECHNICAL ARTICLE

Fuzzy MathIf you approach the checkout counter at a local store, ready to purchase a single item, and are offered to selectbetween receiving a discount of 25% on your purchase or, for the same price, being handed 25% more of thatitem, which would you choose? Which should you choose? The answer may not always be clear, and the con-fusion is often used to the advertiser's advantage. Infomercials are notorious for this; in fact, in the world ofinternet gadgets, you may have seen a device/service that guarantees "500% shorter download times." Notethat nothing (literally nothing) can be more than 100% less than something else without dipping into negativenumbers. When 100% of something is gone, all of it is gone. The mistake is made when confusing moredownload speed and less download time. The two are inversely proportional, and thus percentage gains orlosses between the two are not interchangeable. There are numerous examples of characteristics whose in-verse may be useful to know but are not the basis of design (for insulation, R-value vs. U-factor). In my industry(under-slab vapor barriers), the most useful value pertaining to a material's effectiveness is its water-vapor per-meance rating (where lower numbers are more effective in stopping vapor migration). The inverse could, I sup-pose, be thought of as resistance to water-vapor migration, but this value/concept is never used and would bemisleading.

Narrow ScopeRecycled content, regional materials,etc. are important ideas whose time hascome, but they do not necessarilyalways translate to sustainabilitydirectly. The industry, fortunately, hasunderstood for a very long time that weneed to take a holistic approach indefining what sustainability truly means.Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), which servesto provide a detailed and immenselyuseful understanding of how productsand systems impact the world aroundthem (from conception throughdisposal), is taking aim at this target.One example helps to highlight theimportance of this new, expansiveapproach:

Recycled Content, in many applications, may not be ideal. Recycled products, especially in the world ofplastics, can translate into inferior performance characteristics. Applications that suffer from weakenedmaterials, only preferred because of the use of recycled content, may incur larger losses (monetarily and inthe form of negative environmental impacts) than if "new" materials were employed originally.

The Point: Products ambiguously identified as being "green" because of a single trait or component may or maynot be the ideal choice for the application in question. This conclusion will only materialize through a morecomplete approach to product evaluation utilizing information gained through LCA.

1 This discussion is based on LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovations

2 From the perspective of getting the most of that item for the least amount of money, you should select the 25% discount. In this case,your unit cost will be 75% of the original price listed. In the case of selecting 25% more product for "free," your unit cost will decrease bythe ratio of the additional product to the new total amount of that product (.25/1.25 = .2 or 20%). Thus, your unit cost in the latter situationis 80% of the original listed price, slightly higher than what your unit cost would be in the first example (75% of the original listed price).

3 Twice the download speed [100% increase] results in 50% less download time; a three-fold increase in the download speed [200%increase] results in ~67% less download time; etc.

4 ASTM E 1745-11 Standard Specification for Plastic Water Vapor Retarders Used in Contact with Soil or Granular Fill under ConcreteSlabs references water-vapor permeance, measured in perms [gr/(h·ft2·in.·Hg)], as the preferred metric.

By: Mark Yarish, CSIPhoenix Chapter Secretary

In July 2010, Institute President Dennis Hall formed the Membership Classification Update RecommendationTask Team charged with evaluating the issue of combining the three voting member classifications - associate,industry, and professional - into a single member class and submitting a recommendation to the board.After reviewing bylaws of AIA, AGC, CSC, USGBC, as well as several engineers' organizations, the task teamsubmitted its recommendation to the board in September 2010.

The recommendation was to: Combine the three groups of voting members into a single group named Professional Members. Change the name of intermediate members to Emerging Professional Members. Make it possible for Emerging Professional members to vote and to hold office at the chapter and

region levels. Create a bylaws review task team to help the Institute Secretary process the large number of chapter and

region bylaws. Change the membership occupation codes to a structure that would better match the "four teams" concept.

In 2011, CSI members approved an amendment to CSI’s bylaws implementing the recommendations. As aresult, our Chapter bylaw provisions based on the old member classifications are no longer valid and thereforethe Phoenix Chapter Board is proposing a change in our bylaws to bring them into compliance with the Institutebylaws.

Additionally, several grammatical corrections/clarifications are proposed to make this revised document moreCLEAR, CONCISE and CORRECT. In this newsletter, we have published the proposed amended "Bylaws ofthe Phoenix Chapter of The Construction Specifications Institute" for our members’ review and welcome anyinput or questions you may have. A formal vote to accept these revised bylaws will be held at the April membermeeting. Click on the link to view bylaws. http://tinyurl.com/phxcsibylaws

BYLAWS UPDATE

Polished Concrete FinishesBy: T.J. Valdez, CSI

Polished concrete has become one of the most popular floor finishes of the last few years. Given the benefits, itis not hard to see why. It is durable, low maintenance, versatile, and is not susceptible to the detrimental effectsof moisture vapor emission. Its popularity has also resulted in a slew of polished concrete equipmentmanufacturers, material manufacturers, and subcontractors hitting the market, each with their own preferencesand idiosyncrasies. Yet there are some global consistencies that when observed, can assist any spec writer increating a functional and informative specification.

Generally speaking, a polished concrete system will consist of a grinding process (optional), a silicate orsiliconate based liquid hardener, a polishing process, and a sacrificial guard for added protection.

Levels of Grind and PolishThere are two general types of diamonds: metal bonded, or grinding, diamonds and resin bonded, or polishing,diamonds. The grinding process, which is not always used, utilizes the metal bonded diamonds for leveling aconcrete slab or removing the top portion of the slab exposing the small and/or large aggregate. For the grindingprocess, it is not as important to specify the grit of the diamonds to be used as much as it is the level of the grindthat is desired. Generally, there are four levels of grind from which the owner, designer, and specifier canchoose:

Cream Finish – Little to no grind or aggregate exposure.

Fine Aggregate (Salt and Pepper) Finish – Light grind usu-ally resulting in no more than 1/16” of concrete being re-moved from the surface of the slab.

Medium Aggregate Finish – Medium grind usually resultingin 1/16”-1/8” of concrete being removed from the surface ofthe slab.

Large Aggregate Finish – Heavy grind usually resulting in1/8”-1/4” of concrete being removed from the surface of theslab.

Achieving the deeper grinds requires additional passes with thegrinding equipment and with that, more wear and tear on thediamonds. These finishes may add anywhere from 15%-45% tothe cost of the floor when compared to a Cream Finish.

TECHNICAL ARTICLE

The polishing process, beginning with resin bonded diamonds of 100 grit and going up to 3000, will determinethe final gloss level of the surface. Because this shine can be replicated with topical sealers, waxes, andguards (all of which are temporary), it is imperative to specify the final grit level of polishing diamonds tocorrespond with the desired gloss level (the 3000 grit, for example, will leave a permanent, mirror-like, highlevel shine on the surface). The gloss level itself (measured according to ASTM E 430) may also be listed inthe specification, but the specification should require that any gloss readings be taken before the application ofthe guard.

ColorIn addition to the levels of grinding and polishing, the color of the concrete surrounding the aggregate(exposed or not) will make the greatest impact on the appearance, and the cost, of a polished concrete floor.These colors can be achieved through one of four processes: acid stain, dye, integral color, dry shakehardener.

Acid stain is a spray-applied material that chemically changes the color of the top 1/16”-1/8” of the surface ofthe concrete slab. It is applied after the grinding process, but before the polishing. It provides a UV stable,semi-transparent, mottled finish. Colors are usually limited to 8-10, depending on the manufacturer, and are inthe earth tone and blue/green range. The final color of an acid stain is dependent on the reaction between thestain and the cement, and can therefore be a bit unpredictable.

Dyes are available in water-based or acetone-based formulations, both VOC compliant. They are interior only,as the color is not UV stable and will fade over time with UV exposure. The material is also spray applied andcan be made to be uniform or mottled. Color selection is much wider than with acid stains and the final finish ismuch easier to control.

Integral color is mixed into the concrete while it is in the mixing truck. The color is more consistent than an acidstain, but tends to be more muted. It is more UV stable than the dyes, but will slightly fade over time with ex-tended UV exposure.

Dry shake hardeners are often seen on warehouse, hangar, and shop floors. The material is applied at thetime of placement and therefore cannot be used for ground finishes. It gives a normal polished floor addedsurface density, abrasion resistance, impact resistance, and hardness. When used in these applications, thedry shake hardeners usually are only available in white or gray but can be made in colors.

Managing Clients’ ExpectationsDue to the wide variation of polished concrete finishes (level of grind, level of polish, coloring method, etc) it isimperative that the different options and associated costs are clearly communicated to all parties involved,especially the owners/owners’ reps. As previously mentioned, heavier grinds and finer (higher grit) polishescome with a price premium. This can come as a serious reality check to an owner/architect/general contractorwho may be familiar with the costs of a Cream Finish, but are now expecting a Heavy Grind finish.

Matt Finish (400 Grit) Semi Gloss (800 Grit) High Gloss (3000 Grit)

Acid Stain & Polish Acetone-based Dye & Polish Integral Color & Polish

Additionally, each coloring method comes with its own benefits and limitations. For instance, an acid stain willnever produce a uniform finish, but nor is it supposed to. A client that requires a uniform finish should beinformed that no concrete finish is 100% uniform, but a dyed or integrally colored floor are his best options.Not only do the clients need to know what to expect, but the contractors must also know what is expected ofthem. The best way to manage this is to write a specification that requires a mockup. The mockup should bedone in the exact method that the main floor will be done and should be at least 10’ x 10’. This allows theclient and the designer to see any common variations in color and aggregate exposure as well as the levelof gloss.

ConclusionWith polished concrete becoming ever more popular, architects and specifiers should be prepared to offer thisas a functional, durable, cost effective, and aesthetically pleasing flooring option. Familiarizing oneself with thebasic grind and polish levels as well as the coloring methods will benefit architects and specifiers in conveyingtheir vision to the installer and ultimately delivering to the client the desired result.

THE CHAPTER NEEDS YOUR SUPPORTIn order to cut costs to keep the chapter profitable, the Board of Directors decided to outsource the newsletter andweb site to a publisher – Your Computer Lady.

Your Computer Lady had been creating the newsletters and updating the web site for over a year for a fee. But withthis change to a publishing agreement, YCL sells advertising to cover the costs of each month’s newsletter and eachmonth’s updates on the web site.

Each of you have received numerous emails about advertising. Each newsletter for six months has included advertis-ing info. Many calls have been made.

But advertising is still not covering the basic costs of either the newsletter or the web site.

These communications are important to the chapter. The newsletter promotes each monthly meeting not only to encourage member attendance but to encourage

guests and potential members to attend. The newsletter provides educational information including the opportunity for you to educate the members

about your industry and your issues. The web site provides a gathering spot of technical data, chapter information such as by-laws and the

member roster. Do business with other chapter members!

YOU NEED THE BENEFITS OF ADVERTISING WITH THE CHAPTER The newsletter has an Open Rate between 31-42%. That’s well above the national average of 25%. Your

target market reads the newsletter! Click-through rates on the newsletter run between 16-28%. Again, well above the national average of 5%.

Your target clients visit web sites and read articles from the newsletter! For the 3rd Quarter of 2012, the web site averaged 4,049 visits a month with 9,783 page views. In November 2012, a traditionally slow web site month, the site had 1,494 unique visitors who viewed

4,138 pages. Web traffic has consistently grown in 2012 over the 2011 numbers.

UNIQUE OPPORTUNITYThree table tops are available at most meetings. You get a table top to display your products or services before,during and after the meetings. But you also get a 5 minute presentation to the entire chapter! Put your best footforward and contact 80+ prospects at one time.
