Developing Overcladding Processes for In-Situ Facade Solutions
Aging building facades require ongoing upkeep and repair to maintain performance, respond to changing energy codes, and address water intrusion. Over time, these repairs can become costly and disruptive to operations and occupants, leaving building owners feeling trapped with underperforming facades. To address these issues, teams can implement an overcladding approach to renew or upgrade an existing facade while allowing the building to remain fully operational. In this webinar, we will discuss processes to adapt in-situ overcladding solutions and explore various techniques for evaluating, designing, and creating proof-of-concept mockups for these new facades. We will also review typical building science analyses and installation quality control approaches for using drainable exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) solutions.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Obtain a general understanding of in-situ overcladding approaches for existing facades.
- Discuss how contemporary products can adapt to older assemblies.
- Understand the need for comprehensive facade evaluation and design to meet time and budget restraints.
- Review fenestration requirements and integration approaches for these systems.
Participants will earn 1.0 AIA CES Learning Unit (LU/HSW) for attending the live webinar. Registration is free. Please note that space is limited – email events@sgh.com to join our waitlist if the session is closed when you register.
About the Speaker
Jud Taylor specializes in design and construction for building enclosure materials and systems in all aspects of construction – including wood-framed structures, high-rise buildings, and masonry – with all forms of exterior cladding, such as stucco, exterior insulation and finish, prefabricated panels, windows, window walls, curtain walls, plaza and terrace decks, balconies, decks, roofs, and above- and below-grade waterproofing. He has extensive experience in specifying, selecting, installing, and testing these building components and in investigating and remediating enclosure deficiencies for existing building renovations. He has served as the principal architect for new and renovation building enclosure projects, including providing construction administration, quality assurance, and quality control services to owners during construction.
Del Bern has acquired extensive experience in construction management, risk management, and project oversight for various project types, including health care, retail, education, hospitality, and public works facilities. This experience enables him to provide creative solutions and insightful advice on industry practices. His focus on individual work trades, contracts, design teams, schedules, safety, finances, purchasing, estimating, bidding, quality assurance, permitting, risk management, and owner occupancy exemplify his commitment to overseeing well-planned projects. In addition, Del specializes in designing and constructing building enclosure materials and systems, including wood-framed, cast-in-place, precast, structural steel, and masonry structures involving exterior cladding, plaza and terrace deck waterproofing, roof systems, and below-grade waterproofing. Del also has experience investigating and remediating building enclosure deficiencies for existing buildings.
