This presentation reviews current best practices for specifying and implementing permeability-reducing admixtures for waterproofing applications. The session begins with an overview of American Concrete Institute (ACI) Chapter 15 guidance on permeability-reducing admixtures, which provides a framework for selecting admixtures based on performance requirements and exposure conditions.

This presentation will introduce key factors masonry veneers from materials to rainscreen principles and common concerns. The primary focus will be on the detailing considerations designer can add to their toolkit to aid in preventing moisture ingress as well as discussion of best practices from industry and code requirements for detailing of element such as movement joint, shelf angles and more.

This half-day workshop will focus on mechanical and building envelope solutions for new and existing Part 3 buildings. Join a panel of industry experts who will share design considerations, costing and lessons learned from recent research studies and projects. We will explore the role of high-performance enclosures and other demand reduction strategies to manage grid load, including:
