The holidays are a time to reflect on ouraccomplishments for the past year, a time to spendwith our family and friends, and a time to bethankful. I am truly thankful for the members thatvolunteer their time to CSI in order to make it anoutstanding organization supporting theconstruction community.

We have enjoyed welcoming new members intothe Phoenix Chapter the past two months. Wehave also benefited from our experience withhosting CONSTRUCT 2012 in Phoenix, and haveorganized some outstanding programs in Octoberand November!

2013 is just around the corner! CSI is launchingbrand revitalization in 2013. While a new logo andtagline are part of this process, the goal of theproject is to help CSI’s chapters and membersrevitalize CSI’s BRAND – the experience deliveredto members and potential members throughchapter and region events, CSI’s publications andeducation, and other outreach. I look forward tosharing the brand revitalization concept with youand look forward to delivering the CSI experienceto membership in 2013.

Our programs and events are planned for the NewYear. I encourage all to become active in a com-mittee and join us for the monthly meetings and educational seminars slated for 2013. Please check our calen-dar at www.csiphoenix for up-to-date information.

In closing I would like to say how much I appreciate those that volunteer their time for the Phoenix Chapter;thank you board and committee chairs! THANK YOU for your commitment and dedication throughout the year!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

CODE CORNER

Openings—Part 1By: Ronald L. Geren, AIA, CSI, CCS, CCCA, SCIP

“The act or an instance of becoming open or being made to open.” “An open space serving as a passage orgap.” “An unfilled job or position; a vacancy.” “A breach or aperture.”1

The word “opening” has many meanings, as indicated above. However, with its many specific code-relateddefinitions, it is surprising that the International Building Code (IBC)2 does not provide its own definition of“opening.” So, in the absence of a code-specific definition, the latter definition from the above list is very aptwhen referring to doors, windows, and other “breaches” in fire-resistance-rated assemblies.

CONSTRUCT 2012 UPDATE

By: Brian McClure, RA, CSI, CDT,

Somewhere around the spring of 2011, the Phoenix Chapter was informed that we would host CONSTRUCT2012…Boy, did that change my life for the next 2 years!

As I share stories of the individuals in my journey, there was no consent from them on this article and theopinions are my own, there is no intent to embarrass anyone, so please accept the sincerity with which my storyrambles……and as most of you understand now, I am not always the happy-go-lucky fellow you're accustomedto….I recognize I can be a pain from time to time. Okay, on a rare occasion.

So I start with my co-conspirator, Gary Campbell. Gary and I were on the chapter board together so we knewone another, but I had never worked with Gary outside of CSI, so I was not sure who he was as an individual, orhow we would work together. Well eighteen months later, we both survived each other and like they say, whatdoesn't kill you makes you stronger. Gary and I were able to spread the work load and somehow when one ofus was swamped with work, the other was able pick up the load and continues the organization of the tasks andvolunteers.

I now consider Gary a close friend and trusted resource for anything CSI, as well as his primary function as ahardware consultant.

So our first motion was to send people to CONSTRUCT 2011 in Chicago, so we could find out what we neededto do, what national would do, and what Chicago could teach us. Gary and I went to Chicago with SocorroRudolph and Don Zanrosso. Although there was a lot accomplished in Chicago at CONSTRUCT, it was thesocial gatherings and dinners with these three, plus Robin Snyder and Richard Vullo that were memorable forme. I again knew most of these people through social contact at CSI, but had not had any time with them awayfrom CSI.

The second evening, I had planned on filling up on hors devours at the reception and then go to my room andcheck email and relax….after stuffing my face, I was convinced by the these four (minus Gary) to go eat Sushi.I reluctantly agreed to go, and had a great evening getting to know these wonderful people. I believe one of thequotes of the evening included, "Don, put the wasabi down!"

After Chicago, Gary and I knew we would need to raise money to cover the expenses of the chapter event. Ihad absolutely no idea how to accomplish this major task. We discussed a couple of different options of who toapproach to handle the fundraising. Neil Davison stepped up and said it was one of the few things he had notdone for CSI and would be interested in it. Neil took ownership of the fundraising, and working with severalpeople on the task team,developed reasonable packagesfor the monies raised that I thoughtwere a great value in some cases.

Although this task is a smallasterisk in Neil's CSI membership,seeing as he was presented withhis fellowship at CONSTRUCT2012. His efforts were huge for thechapter and a great relief for me.

I mentioned Robin earlier, but shealso stepped up and took a largerole for 2012. After passing herbar exam, she couldn't take abreath and relax, she came to oneof our meetings and essentiallytook on half of the remaining taskswe needed to get done. Robin

completed the organizing ofthe needed volunteers, listingthe needs on Volunteer Spot,paying the website servicesout of her pocket,communicating with all of thevolunteers, kept Gary and Iwell informed and otherthings. I cannot imagine howmany hours she had used toaccomplish all of these tasks.

Some insight into me, I amfar from a "social butterfly," Iam not a greatconversationalist and amvery uncomfortable havingconversations with people Ido not know.

Although these are somewhat separate ramblings, looking back on the journey, the best part has been thepeople I've worked with and been introduced to through CSI. If I had not been involved with CONSTRUCT, Ilikely would never have gotten to know most of these individuals.

I'd like to encourage all of us to make an effort to step outside your comfort zone, taking a chance that there areothers out there that would be great resources and just wonderful people to meet and know.

The people I have listed are merely our cohorts in the Phoenix Chapter, I have similar stories for others acrossthe country that I have met at CONSTRUCT, including numerous of our region members.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of the volunteers, sponsors and especially those of you that did both!Gary and I have received numerous congratulations for CONSTRUCT 2012, but these are the people thatdeserve the thanks! My apologies if I leave anyone out; there were numerous volunteers that made thispossible! And this list doesn’t even include the individuals that were needed to fill the 160 slots needed duringthe event.

What is an Architect?Sheldon Wolfe, RA, FCSI, CCS, CCCA, CSC

The profession of architecture has changed significantly, but the perception of what an architect does hasremained much the same. So what's the big deal? As is often said, perception is reality, and therein lies theproblem. What architects do now no longer agrees with what the public, and even architects themselves thinkthey do.

Most people don't really understand what today's architects do. They think architects know about planning anddesign, and how to create buildings that are responsive to owners' needs. In that, they are correct; architects bytraining learn how to do these things, and they do them well. Unfortunately, most people also believe thearchitect is still the Master Builder, who knows everything about construction materials and methods, activelymanages the work, and tells the contractor exactly what to do.

One of AIA's first goals was to elevate and protect the profession of architecture. They eventually succeeded;today, the practice of architecture, and the word itself, are protected throughout the United States. Thisprotection is based on the idea that only an architect knows about all aspects of construction. While that wastrue at one time, today's architects, who may be master planners and master designers, don't know muchabout construction materials or methods. And there is nothing wrong with that - we need master planners anddesigners.

It is clear, however, that the countless products and the special knowledge they require make it impossible for adesign firm to understand the construction part of architecture. Architecture schools do not teach much aboutbuilding materials, structure, or systems, and they largely ignore construction methods, scheduling, and costs.Many have decried this lack of attention to the nuts-and-bolts part of architecture, but perhaps it now is simplyimpossible to teach all the things an architect would need to know to perform in the same way they did ahundred years ago, even with the intern development pro-gram.

Contractors, on the other hand, do know aboutconstruction, and that's what they're paid to know. Oncemerely workers hired to follow the direction of architects,contractors no longer rely on the architect to explain whathas to be done. Instead, they now are expected tointerpret the architect's documents and to determine forthemselves what must be done to construct the building.They may know little about planning or design, but onceconstruction begins, their practical experience, asopposed to the theoretical experience of the architect,becomes more valuable to the owner, and they are seen byowners as more realistic, more knowledgeable, even moreimportant than the architect.

Architects often complain about contractors making themlook bad by telling the owner they can do the same thing forless money, or worse, that the architect is an idiot.Architects find it hard to respond, because they don't knowwhat things cost, and they can't defend their designdecisions with hard numbers. It's a lot easier for the ownerto understand saving time or money, than to understandwhy it's important to resolve the tension between the earthelements and the sky elements.

The evidence suggests the role of the architect will continueto decline. Architects can have a strong role indesign-bid-build, but contractors are becoming more

SHELDON WOLFE

important even there. Design-build entities, the modern equivalent of the master builder, typically are led bycontractors, rather than architects, which seems to demonstrate the lesser value of Big D design. Not thatdesign-build necessarily means bad design; no project delivery method guarantees either good design orgood construction.

Many architects claim they should be the leaders of the IPD(integrated project delivery) team, but given the directionthey're heading, that's a tough sell. More than a hundredyears ago, architects decided an arts education was moreimportant than hands-on experience, and they have littleinterest in how things go together or what they cost. For thepast fifty years, they have been trying to minimize theirresponsibility for construction. With that history, how canthey justify again assuming control of the entire project?

If architects are not going to reverse those trends, theymust find ways to clarify what they do, and shift liability tothose who are taking on more of what architect's once did.They should start by admitting they are not master builders,and should not be considered as such. Instead, they shouldemphasize the value of good planning and design, and beable to prove to owners that the long term value of gooddesign is more important than first cost.

Despite AIA's efforts to reduce the architect's liabilitythrough changes in the general conditions, architectscontinue to be found liable for things that clearly areexcluded from their responsibilities. I believe the mainreason is that the public still thinks architects are in controlof the entire project. Actively changing the public'sperception could help juries understand what architectsreally control, and result in decisions that more closelyreflect the commensurate responsibilities.

Design-build continues to grow, and unless architects are willing to take the lead, many will find themselvesworking for a contractor. Contractors will continue to see cost and schedule as their main concerns, but manyalso are sensitive to visual design, and are willing to work with architects who offer superior design and planningservices. To maintain their position in design-bid-build, architects should establish relationships with thosecontractors to better serve owners who still favor design-bid-build.

The bottom line is this: Those who are willing to accept greater risk will see greater rewards, and they will be theleaders.

APPROVED CEU’s

By: Tony Valdez, Past Board Member, CSI Phoenix Chapter, Treasurer, ICRI Arizona Chapter

I have been in the Arizona construction material supply trade for 30+ years. Construction practices have evolvedduring this period. A subject close to my heart is concrete repair. Interestingly, 30+ plus years ago, we basicallyrelied on 100% solids epoxy bonding adhesives and non-shrink cement grout patches when it came toaddressing general concrete repair. The process by which we accounted for surface prep amounted to a clean,dust free surface. The bad news is patches didn’t last very long,the good news is our market began to pay attention to how therest of the country conducted repair of concrete.

In the 1980’s, the consensus was that Arizona’s buildings weretoo new and therefore not candidates for repair, restoration, orrehabilitation. Concrete repair specialty contractors were few andfar between in Arizona. By the mid to late 1980’s manufacturersand Arizona based suppliers became aware of the importance ofaddressing the repair market. General and subcontractors tookthe time to learn and become familiar with the latest in materialsand technologies related to the repair of concrete. It was aboutthis period of time that we became familiar with the ICRI – Inter-national Concrete Repair Institute. The ICRI is made up of building owners, contractors, engineers, specifiers,manufacturers and suppliers. Unfortunately for Arizona, organizing an ICRI Arizona Chapter fell short.

As the years passed Arizona became a construction force. A level of sophistication surfaced. Variousmanufacturers promoting the latest technologies offering product solutions for fixing broken buildings took ourmarket to a level not many locals had traveled before. Concrete repair specialty contractors flocked to our stateto take advantage of opportunities. Twenty-four hour bonding agents, polymer-modified mortars, micro-silicablends, spray applied repair systems and waterproof protective coatings started to make their ways into our pro-jects. We had passed concrete repair puberty.

Through this repair revolution one item that continued to rear its head was surfacepreparation. There still existed the slippery slope of who is responsible for acceptingthe substrate prior to a patching process. Let’s face it, no one wanted to take on therisk of calling the substrate “good enough”. In the late 1990’s ICRI introduced Guideline310.2-1997 Selecting & Specifying Concrete Surface Preparation for Sealers, Coatingsand Overlays. In conjunction with the technical guideline, ICRI also introduced CSP –Concrete Surface Profile “Chips”– 9 distinct profile configurations. As a set theseprofiles replicate degrees of roughness considered to be suitable for the application ofone or more of a sealer, coating or polymer overlay system, up to a ¼” thickness. (ref.ICRI Tech Guideline 310.2-1997, page 6).

The ICRI CSP tool has taken the debate regarding substrate acceptance and removed the subjectivity from it. Ithas turned into an industry standard. Many repair professionals carry CSP chips and refer to them as needed.Major material manufacturers have begun to list the CSP number related to the most effective surface profilepreferred based on a project need and material application.

There are many quality products and materials produced. We’ve all heard the term “the success of a patch isbased on the quality of the surface preparation”. Too many systems have failed due to lack of the correctsurface profile. But by this standard, not only do we now have a way to specify a level of “roughness” and theprocess to achieve it, but we also can identify which is most appropriate for each specific subsequent topping.

When specifying concrete coatings, toppings, or repair materials, a this standard can be a valuable tool forspecifiers. Being able to unambiguously state the concrete preparation requirements allows contractors to have“apples-to-apples” bids and helps deliver a successful installation.

In 2008 The International Concrete Repair Institute – Arizona Chapter was formed. It took many years to arrivewhere the Arizona repair market is today. Despite our recent down economy, our ICRI Chapter has achievedgrowth and stability.

NATION’S 12 "PRETTIEST PAINTED PLACES” INCLUDEMANY COLORFUL HIDDEN GEMS

Originally published by Paint Quality InstituteSubmitted by Tim Garver, CSI, CDT, LEED AP, Dunn Edwards

A panel of judges with expertise in paint and exterior color schemes reviewed the entries and named twowinners from each of six different geographic areas:

In the Northeast Region, the winners were Brookville, Pennsylvania and Downtown Frederick, Maryland.Brookville is a beautiful historic western Pennsylvania town with hundreds of artfully painted Victorian homesand buildings. Downtown Frederick’s Main Street area, home to a vibrant arts community, has beautifullypainted architecture dating to the 1700s.

The Southeast Region winners were Historic Downtown Smithfield, Virginia and Key West, Florida. The formeris a quaint river town with many historic structures ranging in style from Colonial to Federal to Victorian. KeyWest, southernmost of the Florida Keys, has brightly painted “conch” homes and “shotgun-style” cottagesconstructed in the 1800s by shipbuilder-carpenters.

Winners in the North Central Region were Bay View Association, Michigan and Stillwater, Minnesota. BayView, an 1800s Methodist camp meeting community of more than 400 small cottages, is now a charming andcolorful Victorian resort designated a National Historic Landmark. Stillwater has colorful Victorian mansions builtby lumber barons and a Main Street listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In the South Central Region, the winners were Old Arabi Neighborhood, St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana andLafayette Square, St. Louis, Missouri. The former, located just five miles from New Orleans’ French Quarter, hastwo historic districts full of beautifully painted structures. Lafayette Square is an elegant urban neighborhoodcomprised of stately Victorian-era homes with fine painted detailing.

The Northwest Region winners were The Victorian Village of Ferndale, California and Eureka, California.Ferndale has a nationally recognized historic business district with beautifully detailed commercial buildings andVictorian homes. Eureka is a port city 100 miles south of the Oregon border with fantastic Victorian homes builtby lumber magnates.

Winners in the Southwest Region were Tubac, Arizona and Manhattan Beach, California. Established in 1752as a Spanish fort, Tubac is an exquisite, brightly painted town with more than 100 galleries and businesseslining its meandering streets. Manhattan Beach is a colorful coastal community near Los Angeles where thebeautiful landscape is punctuated with artful, individualistic paint color.

In addition to the 12 winners, nine other places were cited as having “exceptional merit”. They are: Cape May,New Jersey; Crested Butte, Colorado; Old Louisville, Kentucky; Ottawa and Franklin County, Kansas; OwegoHistoric District, New York; Paducah, Kentucky; Historic Park City, Utah; Richmond, Indiana; and OriginalTownsite Historic District, Victoria, Texas.

Roofs, Walls, and Fenestration:Joint-Related Water, Air, Vapor, and Condensate Leakage

of the Exterior Building Envelope; Part IICanan D’Avela RA, Western Block LLC; Member CSI Phoenix Chapter Technical Committee

In the previous article of this topic as released in the June 2012 Newsletter of CSI Phoenix Chapter, we con-firmed that measured temperatures on the exterior surfaces of the building envelope substantially vary frommeasured air temperatures. The differences may be in excess of 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Further, the annualtemperature differentials of exterior surfaces of the building envelope may be in excess of 100 to 125 degreesFahrenheit. As a result we need revisit design criteria related to expansion and contraction – including move-ment joints - for many exterior building elements.

Let us consider different materials to put things in perspective. Material scientists are aware of the thermal ex-pansion and contraction coefficients of numerous materials. Many plastic materials for instance calculate tomove in orders of approximately 10-5 to 10-4 to in/in °F so that in 100 degrees annual change for 50 feet (600inches) between movement joints these materials will yield approximately 3 inches to 30 inches of movement.

Glass, metals (including steel and rebar), fired clay (brick, ceramics, etc.) and cementitious (concrete, concretemasonry, etc.) materials move in orders of 10-5 to 10-6 in/in °F so that in 100 degrees annual change for 50 feetbetween movement joints these materials will yield approximately 0.3 to 3 inches of movement.

WHAT ? THAT MUCH ? Yes, that much !

But if that is true, wouldn’t we be experiencing water-leaky buildings as well as concerns for air andmoisture exfiltration and infiltration ? Wouldn’t some of our joints be failing and materials ripping attimes while over-compressing at other times ? And further, what can we do economically to control theexpansion and contraction of materials that comprise our building elements via Design and Construc-tion ?

One means to both understand this dilemma as well as begin to control it is to join the CSI Technical Commit-tee, currently under TJ Valdez, [email protected] CSI Phoenix Chapter Technical Committee Chairman.They meet once a month.

Additionally, stay tuned to Part III of this article series.
