Exterior Building Enclosures – A Case Study on What Goes Wrong
February 19, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
$35
Building exteriors are challenged by weather, especially water. The St. Louis Chapter of the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) will look at key areas to avoid common problems and faulty repair efforts that affect a building’s exterior.
Cale Prokopf, president of RoofTech Consulting Inc., will discuss the importance of protecting building exteriors. After water intrusion issues, assessments are performed. Prokopf’s firm has found that repairs have often been made but fail to resolve the issues. He will look at the most common findings to help facility managers avoid common pitfalls that result in misspent dollars, wasted time and unwarranted interior damage.
