RAiNA Hosted Member Webinar: Through-Wall Flashings and Transition Membranes: Selection and Installation
Wednesday, July 10, 2024 (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
The latest New York City Energy Conservation Code (NYCECC) went into effect on 30 March 2026, mandating stricter requirements for building projects in the city. The revisions in this new code aim to improve energy performance, but they also introduce design and construction challenges that can impact schedules and budgets. Join RAINA as we speak with Anya LaRoche and Cheryl Saldanha from Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) about these new changes from a building enclosure perspective and discuss how project stakeholders can prepare to meet compliance requirements. We will focus on how these changes will affect exterior rainscreen design requirements and modeling practices to strengthen building performance.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Understand how to design a resilient and durable flashing system that will minimize life cycle costs
- Explain the performance criteria used to specify through-wall flashings and transition membranes
- Define the attributes of a variety of membrane materials
- Understand the compatibility between cavity wall components.
Presenters: Anya LaRoche & Cheryl Saldanha, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH)
