A one-day seminar, "Why Green Buildings Cannot be Built Without Air Barrier Systems," is planned for Oct. 26 at L'Enfant Plaza Hotel, Washington, D.C.

The program is being offered by The Building Enclosure Technology & Environment Council (BETEC) and the High Performance Building Council of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS), and the Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA).

The seminar's organizers said the program "will demonstrate the benefits of air-barrier control to energy efficiency and durability, and the multiplicity of ways that this control can be achieved." Speakers will address the significance of air control and air-barrier technology; review case studies of successful implementation of airtightness requirements; examine issues as seen by the industry association; explore air-barrier commissioning and testing; and discuss the need for future technical developments. An expert panel discussion is also planned.

Attendees can earn AIA Continuing Education System (CES) credits, the program sponsors said. The event's co-chairmen are Wagdi Anis, BETEC, and Leonard Anastasi, ABAA.

Program details and other information are available at Air Barrier Seminar.
