This presentation examines the critical nature of tie-ins, transitions, and continuity throughout the building envelope. These critical areas may only represent 1% of the building envelope. Still, it is said that 99% of building leaks occur due to incompatibility, adhesion loss, or lack of awareness when transitioning from one building envelope system to another. This in-depth review will describe common types of compatibility, best practice installations, and how to avoid costly building design and construction oversights.

Learning Objectives:

• Review industry definitions
• Discuss common types of compatibility considerations
• Understand common, costly building design and construction oversights
• Explore continuity solutions for the entire building envelope, including below-grade waterproofing, above-grade walls, plaza decks, and roofing systems
