February Dinner Meeting and Presentation
Topic: Tackling Window Pain: Understanding the benefits of high performance fenestration
AIA IIBEC Registered Presentation- 1 learning credit
The IIBEC – PSC is pleased to announce our February dinner meeting that will include a presentation by Michael Bousfield, the Technical Director at Cascadia Windows & Doors
Learning Objectives:
1. Understanding the impacts of windows on the overall energy performance of the building envelope.
2. Review key design factors and performance metrics of high-performance fenestration.
3. Understand the design flexibility offered through an integrated envelope and fenestration design approach.
4. Learn options to cost-optimize the incorporation of high-performance fenestration products into new construction and rehabilitation projects with that goal of meeting code-mandated performance requirements while remaining cost-neutral.
5. Understand the implications of different window materials and configurations on real-world project.
Michael Bousfield – Technical Director

Presentation: Lessons Learned from Electronic Leak Detection and Continuous Monitoring | October 9, 2025 | AIA, IIBEC Registered- 1 Learning Unit
This presentation will cover the lessons learned from multiple case studies regarding Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) quality control testing as part of new construction, forensic testing in existing buildings with active leaks, and continuous monitoring for conventional roofing. Participants will learn about principles outlined in the ASTM Standard Guide D7877 and ASTM Standard Practice D8231 and will be able to identify common causes for moisture intrusion.
Learning Objections: 1. Understand the science, capabilities and limitations of ELD as outlined in ASTM Standard Guide D7877 and ASTM Standard Practice D8231.
2. Recognize common causes of failures found in numerous types of roofing and waterproofing membranes.
3. Identify potential future design and construction failures based on analyzed data from real time construction monitoring.
4. Distinguish different applications for ELD testing and continuous moisture monitoring for risk mitigation and loss control.
Presenter: Shaun Katz, CSI | Detec Systems administration.
Katz has assisted facility/property managers and building owners, contractors, architects, engineers, consultants, and manufacturers with forensic leak investigation, as well as leak detection in new construction. He has performed ELD product demos and presentations worldwide and won the 2020 Presenter of the Year award from the Chicago Chapter of IIBEC. Katz is an active member of CSI, ASTM, and IIBEC. His goal is to provide a basic understanding of ELD and assist all parties with ensuring valid and conclusive ELD.
