COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will help facility owners and managers
effective testing programs for fenestrations (window, door, curtain wall, and storefront systems) in new buildings. This
existing buildings. Project examples and applicable industry standards for testing will be discussed during this AIA-
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1 value of testing programs as revealed through actual projects
key elements of a successful testing program
most widely used tests
234
appropriate action for failed tests5who pays for testing and corrective work6
forensic testing process7
DID YOU KNOW?
70%of construction litigation is due to water intrusion
through the building envelope

RECOMMENDATIONS
incl. testing program in budget
take active role in program
retain building envelope consultant
keep construction documents
be proactive with maintenance
don’t ignore the leak
keep record of leaks
identify issue before action
