CSI Building Knowledge, Improving Project Delivery

MARCH 12, 2015 MEETING Understanding Slip Resistance and SCOF Table of Contents Understanding Static Coefficient of Friction (SCOF) and how to measure SCOF is extremely important topic in the industry right now. After the presentation you will understand current standards and regulations applicable to the slip resistance or static co-efficient of friction for polymer flooring systems. You will gain a general knowledge of the terms and science of tribology. We will discuss and understand the methods and materials used to create slip resistant floor coating systems and gain knowledge of test methods. We will also discuss how to quantify different surface profiles and determine their compliance with the standards.

Tribology is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion.

It includes the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication and wear. Tribology is a branch of mechanical engineering and materials science.

List 4 educational objectives to be covered in the presentation: 1. What is Static Coefficient of Friction (SCOF) and how can we use it to specify safer floors?

2. What are the acceptable testing instruments for measuring SCOF? 3. What are the applicable ASTM standards?

4. What is the industry standard?

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE By: T.J. Valdez, CSI , The Twenty-One Tech Company, Inc.

Web MD Says I Have Appendicitis and Google Says I Can Use This on My Balcony It’s a familiar story, and one that played out again with a friend of mine the other day. She was feeling some discomfort in her belly and decided to go online to find the answers (because, of course, that’s where every answer to every question lives nowadays). After some clicking around, she decided that she either had food poisoning or appendicitis. Because this is the type of people we are, a third friend and I also convinced her she might be pregnant. In a state of panic, she quickly made a doctor’s appointment for that afternoon and after some poking and prodding by the doctor, she finally got her diagnosis: constipation. Eat two prunes and call me in the morning.

The moral of the story is, of course, not to believe everything you read online. How does that relate to our industry? Let’s look at another story: I recently received a call from an architect asking for a custom detail on a specific “economical” waterproofing system. He had Googled “horizontal waterproofing” and this product came up. After some discussion I realized he had specified a station wagon when what his client really needed was a school bus. The area was over occupied space and would be inaccessible after construction. He needed a product that could act as a true “roofing” membrane, not an inexpensive watered down waterproofing product.

The lesson here is to utilize and trust the resources you have at your disposal. There are experts out there whose advice and experience make them invaluable to those who take advantage. The young lady in the first story could have saved herself a lot of stress (and likely additional stomach pain) by simply calling a nurse hotline or going to see her doctor first. The architect could have spared himself the exercise of redoing his specs and details had he contacted me prior to taking the wrong exit off of the information superhyway.

What does this have to do with CSI? CSI is your resource. We are your group of experts. As an organization, we are your resource for all things construction. In fact, it is our mission “to advance building information management and education of project teams to improve facility performance.” Additionally, to look within CSI is to find a collection of industry experts. Simply coming to meetings will give you the opportunity to interact with dozens of these experts, all of them potential resources at your disposal.

So the next time you want to bounce some ideas off of someone or inquire about which type of insulation is going to be best suited for your project or find information on integrated product delivery, take advantage of the resource you have in CSI. Or of course, you could just Google it. Bonjour!

TIPS FROM MPI LEVEL 2 TRAINING DEALING WITH GLASS MAT GYPSM BOARD Originally published by The Master’s Painters Institute Submitted by Tim Garver, CSI, CDT, LEED AP, Dunn Edwards

MPI Level 2 training covers best practices for painting 25 of the most commonly painted surfaces encountered in commercial, institutional, and light industrial projects, including criteria for choosing the right coating as well as recommended systems for each substrate.

Interior glass mat wallboard is a noncombustible interior panel that consists of a moisture resistant fiberglass reinforced gypsum core and coated fiberglass mat face, which increases the overall product strength and makes it less susceptible to structural failure or delamination. These treated cores and coated facings made with fiberglass provide greater resistance to mold and moisture than conventional paper-faced gypsum board, which can be a significant advantage if moisture damage from ambient humidity, wind-driven rain, or construction issues are likely to occur.

In the past, glass mat wallboard was used primarily as an exterior sheathing product for exterior wall assemblies because of its resistance to moisture. Now, however, it is sometimes specified as a wallboard for interior environments subject to extensive moisture or liquid exposure, such as hospital walls that endure constant cleaning and where the potential for mold growth is unacceptable.

Glass mat gypsum board may also be the material of choice for fast track construction projects that require wallboard to be installed before the building envelope is completely enclosed, especially in storm-prone or humid environments. Hanging paper-faced drywall before the building is dried in can be a gamble; no contractor wants to rip out damaged paper drywall, wasting time and money and upsetting the schedule. But glass mat gypsum board can withstand incidental wetting such as an unexpected downpour that wets walls installed before the building can be topped off with a roof and windows.

What to Watch For While interior glass mat gypsum board has advantages as a wall panel, it presents a new challenge to the painter. Now, instead of painting paper, the painter is essentially painting a fuzzy, prickly fiberglass surface – and the paint system must fill the glass mat surface and eliminate texture variations to provide an even finish. Also, joints and nail holes touched up with joint compound will have a significantly different texture than non-touched up areas — more so than is seen with paper-faced board — so preventing joint telegraphing is a greater challenge.

For wall surfaces where a uniform appearance is desired, even the Level 4 drywall finish that’s specified so often for conventional gypsum board surfaces will yield an uneven and unsuitable appearance unless considerable care (and additional expense) are undertaken.

Finishing Challenges and Requirements If a Level 4 finish is specified, using the proper primer is critical. Instead of specifying one coat of a typical drywall primer (such as products approved under MPI #50, care must be taken to specify higher solids primers —30-40% solids or more — and very few products found in MPI #50 meet this criteria. Using higher solids products leaves a higher build to fill in the glass mat texture.

A higher cost alternative is to specify MPI #137 which is MPI’s standard for waterbased stainblocking primers; more of these products meet the high solids criteria. And regardless of which primer you choose, two coats may be required to alleviate texture variations where the board meets the filler.

The specified topcoats must be suitable for the exposure environment, and will require a minimum of two coats to create a smooth surface — and again, higher solids products (30-45%) are highly recommended.

All of this amounts to a minimum 4-coat process.

And even with 4+ coats, the use of dark colors or gloss finishes is mighty risky business that’s very likely to yield unsatisfactory results.

1800 W. Maricopa Freeway, Phoenix, AZ 85007

The best solution is to always specify an ASTM Level 5 drywall finish for glass mat wallboard. Level 5 requires a ‘skim coat’: a thin coat of joint compound trowel-applied over the entire board surface and wiped down immediately to leave a tight film of joint compound. Alternatively, the board may be covered with a product manufactured for the specific purpose of developing a Level 5 finish on glass mat gypsum board.

Now, the board may be primed with one coat of conventional drywall primer such as products found under MPI #50, and finished with conventional interior latex — and even gloss finishes or deep tone colors may offer an aesthetically acceptable surface.

TECHNICAL ARTICLE Conforming to Code Effective Exterior Insulation in Rainscreen Assemblies for New and Emerging Energy Requirements Submitted by: James A. Daniels, CSI, CDT, Atas International, Inc. Written by: Brian Nelson, CSI, CDT, LEED Green Associate, Knight Wall Systems Originally published in the January 2014 issue of Architectural Record reprinted with permission

The certainty that evolving energy codes will become ever more stringent is on par with those other two irrefutable inevitabilities: death and taxes. New ASHRAE standards released earlier this fall incorporate major changes to requirements regarding building envelope, lighting, mechanical, and the energy cost budget and, while they may not be adopted by the states for several years, they do signal that the push continues for architects and manufacturers to ramp up solutions for energy-efficient design.

In terms of exterior insulation, many design and construction professionals have long struggled with how to achieve the requirements of prevailing energy codes, settling upon the use of a “Z” furring strip, or girt. With the introduction of continuous insulation requirements, however, the once-beloved simple “Z-girt” is no longer a viable option. This article will examine requirements of current energy codes, exploring the root cause of why traditional means of exterior wall construction no longer comply. New solutions for steel-framed exterior wall assemblies will be discussed and evaluated in terms of energy efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Evolution of Energy Codes Driven by escalating energy costs and resultant increases in building operating expenses, energy codes are becoming increasingly stringent. According to the U.S. government, there are more than 5 million commercial buildings and industrial facilities in the United States. Combined annual energy costs of those structures exceed $200 billion—and as much as 30 percent of that energy is used inefficiently or unnecessarily. If the energy efficiency of commercial and industrial buildings improved by 10 percent, more than $20 billion could be saved.

Today, two primary baseline building energy codes may be adopted by states and local jurisdictions to regulate the design and construction of new buildings: the International Energy Conservation Code® (IECC) and the ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1 Energy Standard for Buildings except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. The IECC addresses all residential and commercial buildings, while ASHRAE standards cover commercial buildings.

The IECC adopted, by reference, ASHRAE 90.1; that is, compliance with ASHRAE 90.1 qualifies as compliance with IECC for commercial buildings.

WINTER IS A WONDERFUL TIME FOR INTERIOR PAINTING Originally published by Paint Quality Institute Submitted by Tim Garver, CSI, CDT, LEED AP, Dunn Edwards

Winter’s snow and cold may put a damper on a lot of remodeling activity, but not interior painting. In fact, “snow days” are a great time to paint. Anyone who’s ever been housebound while snowbound knows the feeling of being trapped indoors. How to put the time to good use? What could be better than scratching an important home improvement project off your to-do list? Why not begin that interior paint project you’ve been meaning to do!

Good light is essential when doing interior painting. It not only makes the project more pleasant, but it can speed the work by clearly differentiating painted from unpainted areas and minimizing ‘misses’ where the light is inadequate.

That’s part of the allure of painting in winter: The light is often prolific. A sunny, snow-covered landscape throws off wonderful reflected light that brightens all but the darkest corners. Even when there is no snow, very cold days are almost always clear and sun-filled, so they’re perfect for painting.

Of course, winter days are also short, so you need to get an early start to capitalize on these conditions. Ready your room for the next snow day by removing the curtains, switch-plates, and outlet covers beforehand; also, buy your paint, brushes and other items in advance so you can get right to work in the morning.

When purchasing your paint, choose a “paint and primer” product made with 100% acrylic, which will both hide the existing color and add beautiful new color to your room. Since ‘paint and primer’ serves a dual purpose, you can usually get away with fewer coats, which will help you finish the project more quickly. That’s a great benefit on short winter days.

It’s always wise to have some ventilation when doing interior painting, which presents a bit of a challenge in the colder months. You can crack the windows slightly; or run an exhaust fan, if one is handy. Either way, always work with water-based latex paint (not an oil-based or alkyd coating) and choose one low in “VOCs” (volatile organic compounds). This type of paint emits very little odor, so you won’t have a lingering “paint smell” when the project is done.

In just a few short hours of winter work, you’ll have attractive new color on your walls and woodwork. And that will make the rest of your time indoors all the more enjoyable.

So, plan ahead for your next interior painting project, buy your paint and sundries beforehand, and wait for Mother Nature to provide the next opportunity to do some snow day painting. Chances are, you won’t have to wait very long!

SHELDON WOLFE The Importance of Being Earnest A couple of months ago, in "Your slip is showing!", I mentioned that I had been specifying slip resistance for a very long time, but only recently became aware of a serious problem: Even though codes other regulations require a "slip-resistant" finish, there is no definition of what that means.

I encountered a similar situation recently while reviewing the titles of the many standards cited in our specifications: I discovered that ANSI (the American National Standards Institute) produces no standards!

While looking up hardware standards, I saw reference standards with the number 115 in virtually every hardware and hollow metal specification I found. Sometimes the 115 was preceded with an A, other times not. But it's only one letter; what's the big deal if it has an A or not?

The reference numbers I found were inconsistent, so I set out to discover exactly which standard or standards were intended. As we so often find in the The Cigarette Case; Wikimedia world of construction, there is a lack of consistency. I saw titles of some standards appear both with and without ANSI, titles that appear with only ANSI, and titles that have only a number, with no indication of the issuing organization. I found titles with different combinations of ANSI with another organization, and I found references to standards that have been withdrawn or replaced.

Many of these specifications referred to ANSI A115, but others, including manufacturers' guide specifications, refer simply to "ANSI 115", for what appeared to be the same standard. My first step was to visit the ANSI website, which allows a search of their records. I found no standard titled ANSI 115, but as I expanded my search I found references to several standards related to doors that include A115 in their titles. · · · · · · · ·

ANSI A115 Hardware Preparation in Steel Doors and Steel Frames ANSI/BHMA A156.115 Hardware Preparation in Steel Doors or Steel Frames ANSI/DASMA 115 Standard Method for Testing Garage Doors ANSI/DHI A115 Specifications for Hardware Preparations in Standard Steel Doors and Frames.

ANSI/DHI A115.IG Installation Guide for Doors and Hardware ANSI/SDI A115.1 (no title specified) BHMA A115 Specifications for Steel Door and Frame Preparation for Hardware BHMA A115 Steel Door Preparation Standards

With the exception of the ANSI/DASMA standard, it appears all of these may be the same. Is it possible that they're all correct? The most interesting thing I learned was that ANSI does not produce standards. Rather, it accredits the procedures of organizations that develop standards, verifying that they meet certain requirements.

During more than thirty years as an architect, I have seen countless standards with designations such as ANSI/ ACI, ANSI/BHMA, ANSI/DASMA, and so on. I also have seen many standards that did not include ANSI in the title. My perception was that those standards with ANSI in the title were jointly issued by ANSI and the other organization, while those that did not include ANSI were issued solely by the indicated organization. And, because I saw many standards that included only ANSI, I assumed those standards were issued by ANSI. My investigation revealed that references to standards are far too casual, and too often incorrect. However, despite the many incorrect titles used, it seems there have been few problems, probably because the people who write and use these sections are familiar with what's in the standards. Even so, manufacturers should cite only active standards, and use the proper titles and revision dates in their guide specifications and other publications.

One letter can make the difference between being Ernest, and merely being earnest. © 2015, Sheldon Wolfe, RA, FCSI, CCS, CCCA, CSC Agree? Disagree? Leave your comments at http://swspecificthoughts.blogspot.com/ Your slip is showing! http://bit.ly/1vYNZ0u
