| SESSION D2 |
What's Wrong With This Picture? How Moisture Infiltrates Commercial Wall Systems |
HSW |
| Topic |
Air, Water and Moisture Management in Commercial Building Envelopes |
| Time & Location |
9:15 AM | Room 318A |
| Panelists |
Mr. Steve Easley
|
| Description |
This session addresses the necessity for building redundancy in the commercial building envelope (wall systems) to help reduce damage due to water intrusion and energy loss due to air infiltration. Participants will receive an in-depth overview of how moisture infiltrates commercial wall systems. This causes damage to building materials, which contributes to indoor air quality problems and creates costly repair and callbacks. An interactive session quizzes participants on 'what's wrong with this picture or this design detail,' to enhance the learning experience.

| SESSION D4 |
Pervious Concrete: A Concrete Solution to Storm Water Runoff |
HSW/SD |
| Topic |
Pervious Concrete |
| Time & Location |
3:15 PM | Room 318A |
| Speakers |
Timothy Folks
|
| Description |
Pervious concrete is intended for use as an open-graded drainage material, which makes it an excellent choice for stormwater management. Get a better understanding on the material components of a pervious concrete mix, the proper placement and curing procedures, and how it functions. Pervious concrete's best application is for parking lots, with potential savings in drainage infrastructure costs and requires little maintenance.
