Per Zurich Insurance: “We pay out Hundreds of Millions of Dollars every year in Construction
Claims –
70% of those are due to Water and Moisture Issues in the Enclosure”

Why An Enclosure Program???• Buildings Consume approximately 40% of
our Nations Energy!!!• 20%-40% Building Energy LOST Through the
Enclosure! • NIST Report 7238
• Did You Know:• Building Science is Not Taught in most
University Architectural Schools (Only Approximately 16 Schools across the US)
• There is Not One Enclosure / Building Science Question on the AIA Exam
• Building Failure across the US Annually, is One of the Largest Insurance Claims
How Many ProductsDo We Build With Today?
Let’s Consider the Following:
• 3 Different Types of Back Up Walls• Block, OSB, Exterior Sheathing
• 5 Different Types of AVB• Fluid, Self Adhered, SPF, Rigid, Mechanically Fastened
• 4 Different Types of Insulation• SPF, Extruded Poly, Poly Iso, Mineral Wool
• 4 Different Types of Exterior Cladding• Brick, Metal Panel, EFIS, Cement Board
• OVER 116 Wall Configurations• This DOES NOT Consider all of the
Different Manufacturers of each Item

Let’s Say you have a $14 M ProjectOn Site Simple Wall Mock Up = $12,500.
Mock Up = 0.09% of Construction Costs
SO…Less than 0.1% of Construction Costs To:• Validate Design• Assist Construction Sequencing• Validate Materials to be Used• Validate Performance• Discover Potential Installation Issues• Provide Custom Training Program for Installers

9. In Situ Testing
How Much Does It Cost When your Enclosure Has a Failure???
• Close Area of Issue Down
• Initial Meeting to Discuss Issue / Path Forward• OWNER, CM, Architect, Consultant, Installers, Manufacturer
• Removal of Material
• Testing to Validate Issue & Location(s) of Issue(s)
• Meeting to Discuss Repair
• Testing to Validate Issue & Location(s) of Issue(s) Have Beed Repaired
• Rework / Refinish the Area
• Reopen Area For Owner Use
Cost to Your Reputation??Is Your Owner Happy???
9. In Situ Testing
1. What Types of Tests
• Air Leakage Windows - ASTM E 783• Static Water - ASTM E 1105• Smoke or Bubble Gun - ASTM E 1186• Dynamic Water - AAMA 501.1• Hose Test - AAMA 501.2• Thermograph - ASTM C 1060• Sealant Pull Test - ASTM C 1193• Horizontal Flood Testing (Roof Test)
ASTM D 5957• Air Barrier Adhesion Tests
ASTM D 4541 2. How Often
• Recommend Testing at 10%, 50%, 75%, 95% of completed work
ASTM E 1105 –Static Water Test
9. In Situ Testing
9. In Situ Testing• Smoke or Bubble Gun - ASTM E 1186
AAMA 501.1Dynamic Water
9. In Situ Testing
• Attach a 2¼" to 4" steel or plywood disc to the air barrier material,
• Cut around the material so you are pulling on a specific area of the material to not damage more material around the area of the test
• The force shall be applied to the pad by turning the handle not be more than one revolution per minute (rpm)
• ABAA Recommendations is to achieve 16psi min.

Whenever Using SPF – Only Specify an Absolute Minimum Thickness

You put that in your Bid, Right????
In Rework
In Rework= WASTE = Lost Income
“Rework Costs — including labor, materials, equipment and subcontractors—can run from 2% to 20% of a project's total contract amount.”ENRIssue: 12/03/2012Contractors Confront the Growing Costs of Rework
