SUMMARY:2024 BCBEC CONFERENCE & AGM SPEAKERS
DESCRIPTION:2024 BCBEC CONFERENCE & AGM PRESENTATIONS:\nFollow this link for PDF files from this event: \n2024 Conference & AGM Presentations \n \n  \nRENEW RESTORE REINVENTEXTENDING THE LEGACY OF EXISTING BUILDINGS\nFriday\, November 15th\, 2024\nJW Marriott Parq\n39 Smithe Street\nVancouver\, BC\n7:00 am – 5:00 pm \nUpdated January 10\, 2024 11:00am \n  \n2024 BCBEC CONFERENCE & AGM Full Program\nClick on picture for larger view (pdf)\n\n  \n2024 BCBEC CONFERENCE & AGM Schedule\nClick on picture for larger view\n\n  \nSpeakers Information and Conference Presentation Summaries\n \n8:15 – 8:45am\n\nJason Teetaert\, President\nSMT Research \nJason contributes a huge part of his successful transition from electrical engineering to building science to BCBEC. He gained invaluable insight from volunteering on BCBEC board of directors for 10 years\, connecting with leading building enclosure experts at events that become colleagues\, clients\, and friends. \nJason currently leads SMT with the largest team of technical people in the area of construction leak detection systems in the world.  He has contributed to over 11 patents in the area of; hybrid wired/wireless data acquisition systems\, leak detection solutions for inverted plaza deck assemblies and for moisture detection in conventional roofing and mass timber structures. \nSMT has systems installed in the historic castles in Slovenia\, Manhattan’s convention center – the Javits Center\, covered bridges of Iowa\, schools in New Zealand and mass timber buildings in Australia. The SMT technology is being used in every state in the USA\, and on six of the seven continents. \nLocally the SMT team is involved in the Vancouver “Signature Projects” – recent projects include UBC Museum of Anthropology\, Vancouver House\, The Post\, and Oakridge Park (mall redevelopment). Beyond buildings\, Jason has worked with Tesla on condensation sensors\, US Navy for submarine prop transmission leak detection systems\, and Atomic Energy Industry in the monitoring of heavy water contamination. \nJason achieves a work/life balance by simply mixing the two – have fun at work\, and work at fun (don’t get him started on this topic!).  He supports his family in their careers and in school endeavours\, takes on gravity fed west coast sports like skiing\, mountain biking\, hiking\, paddling and sharing stories around a campfire with friends. \nPresentation: Lessons learned from 20 years of leak detection data \nWhere is the “pain” in the construction industry?\nHow are your plaza decks performing?\nHow are your roofs performing?\nHow are your walls performing?\nDo you want to know?  \nThe content will focus on the results from automated monitoring systems for conventional\, inverted roof assemblies\, existing wall systems as well as timely information on monitoring mass timber.\n \n \n8:50 – 9:25am\n\nShawn McIsaac\, CPEng (NZ\, Aus)\, P.E. (WA)\, P.Eng (BC)Director\, Senior Building Enclosure Engineer\nOculus Building Science and Facades \nShawn McIsaac is a Building Enclosure Engineer specialising in the evaluation and design of building window\, wall and roof systems on buildings of all types. Shawn prides himself on working with clients through difficult and unique building envelope challenges. \nShawn started Oculus in 2018 in Auckland. He brings a wealth of knowledge from previous overseas experience in the Pacific Northwest of US and Canada. \nShawn is a Chartered Professional Engineer in New Zealand\, Canada (BC)\, US (WA) and Australia.\n \nPresentation: Building envelope retrofit abroad: parallels with New Zealand and different perspectives \nAt face value New Zealand and Canada have a lot in common however construction methodologies are not one of those things. While science is applicable everywhere\, the norms\, standards and philosophies offer a unique culture challenge for those working abroad. \nShawn will share the good\, the bad and the ugly of his time overseas as founder and technical director of NZ largest building science company\, Oculus. He’ll highlight some of the good ideas BC can adopt in improving its existing building stock and how the expertise that has been developed in BC with building enclosures and building science could be applied beyond BC’s borders. \n \n10:15 – 10:40am\n\nWesley Narciso\, M.Eng\, P.Eng\, FEC\, CRP\, PRA\nJRS Engineering \nWesley is a Principal and Division Manager at JRS with a background in Materials Engineering and a Master’s Degree in Building Science. He has provided engineering and consulting services for almost 24 years in Canada and the US. Previous to building envelope consulting\, he worked in a metallurgical engineering and consulting firm focusing on failure analysis and corrosion\, which has been beneficial in assisting with structural assessments\, fastener failure investigations and concrete repair projects. This unique background has allowed Wesley to provide corrosion and material failure related legal support\, as well as the production of hundreds of failure investigations and targeted/full scale\, building/property assessments and reports. Wesley volunteers with Engineers and Geoscientists BC as a Mentor and serves on the Program Advisory Committee for the Master’s Program at BCIT. \nPresentation: Protecting Reinforcing Steel from Corrosion: A Comprehensive Analysis of Corrosion Protection Systems Used in Concrete Repair \nConcrete is the most widely used construction material on the planet and when reinforced with steel\, becomes the cheapest and most versatile composite system used in any superstructure. The single biggest cause of premature failure in reinforced concrete is the corrosion of steel from chlorides. Repair of these structures is steadily increasing\, especially in the Pacific Northwest as many structures are at or nearing 40 to 100 years old. During repair\, it is common to protect the corroded reinforcing steel (subsequent to sufficient cleaning) with a coating or another type of corrosion mitigation system. \nWhile some specifications and guidelines are available\, none provide any real specificity or confidence in corrosion protection – a crucial component in reinforced concrete repair. \nThis presentation summarizes a comparative study of different types of materials\, products and systems used in commercial production\, as well as conceptual research and design stage considerations. \nEngineers\, designers and asset planners/managers will be able to use the results of the study to assist with any type of reinforced concrete repair (buildings\, parking garages\, bridges)\, ultimately creating more durable structures and prolonging service lives.\n \n \n10:45 – 11:25am\n\nMaddy Kennedy-Parrott\,M.Eng\, P.Eng\, CPHDBuilding Science Engineer\, Division Manager\nRDH Building Science \nMaddy splits her time between the Building Enclosure and Energy and Climate teams at RDH. She specializes in the integration of whole building energy modelling and building enclosure design to help buildings reach their highest performance potential\, whether performance is analyzed through an energy\, greenhouse gas emissions\, climate resilience or occupant comfort lens. From existing building retrofits to typical new construction to Passive House projects\, Maddy uses her unique expertise to deliver highly efficient buildings and advance industry knowledge on how enclosure and energy performance interact and influence one another. \nPresentation: Calibrated Energy Models for Retrofit Planning: Case Studies for Social Housing \nThere are over 100\,000 social housing units in BC\, many of which are coming to the end of service lives for one or more major building components/systems. The Canada Greener Affordable Housing (CGAH) program offered through CMHC offers funding opportunities to address these major renewals in a way that can help social housing owners and operators solve ongoing building issues\, address deferred maintenance backlogs\, and improve tenants’ comfort and safety – provided the renewals also significantly reduce energy use and associated emissions in support of Canada’s climate action goals. The process of showing compliance with the ambitious targets tied to the CGAH funding involves calibrated energy modelling to properly validate the energy and emissions reduction potential of the proposed renewals. \nRDH has undergone the CGAH application process for more than ten social housing buildings in need of major renewals\, and this presentation gives a summary of these case study projects. We will summarize the standardized process developed to complete the work\, identify where & why that process had to be modified for specific buildings\, and discuss which steps in the process were the most difficult to achieve or how they could be streamlined. We will also outline the major findings from the projects: the major barriers to achieving energy model calibration\, the patterns in energy use observed across the buildings\, the typical retrofits required to achieve the ambitious energy and emissions targets and a general discussion of how deep energy retrofits can be achieved in a variety of social housing building types.\n \n \n1:00 – 1:45pm\nKEYNOTE SPEAKER\n\nBetsy Agar\nProgram Director\, Buildings\nPembina Institute \nBetsy Agar is the director of the Pembina Institute’s buildings program. Through engagement\, research and knowledge mobilization\, she works on systems changes that will accelerate decarbonization of homes and buildings\, such as through policy and regulatory reform and market transformation.
