In this presentation\, Johnathon will speak to:\n\nWhat is construction adjudication and how does it differ from other dispute resolution methods?\nWhat does a construction adjudication process look like?\nWho should consider construction adjudication?\nDiscuss the application of construction adjudication to projects building envelope consultants typically are involved in.\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: Johnathon Bain \nFor nearly 20 years\, Johnathon has practiced Building Science and construction across Western Canada. With experience in evaluation\, restoration\, and maintenance of existing buildings\, he is a published technical author\, technical presenter\, and one of 15 Construction Adjudicators in Alberta. His deep building science technical knowledge has led to appoints on the IIBEC Interface technical journal Peer Review Board and the Task Group on Environmental Separation Reference Documents of the National Model Code Committee\, who are preparing the next iteration of the National Building Code of Canada\nJohnathon also serves as a technical advisor for the SAIT Green Buildings Technology Lab.

SUMMARY:ABEC South January 2026 - Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nBird-Friendly Glass Solutions\nArchitecture tells us a great deal about society. In fact\, glass and glazing are used to blur the lines between inside and out\, helping elevate performance and the experiences of people. Yet while humans can use environmental cues to identify glass as a barrier\, there is growing realization that birds cannot. The solution is bird-friendly glass that delivers on performance\, energy efficiency and the needs of people. This presentation provides a better understanding of how to recognize issues affecting the bird population while learning about best practices and design fundamentals for smarter\, safer buildings. \n  \n  \nGeoff Shellard \nRegional Architectural Design Manager for Guardian Glass in central and western North America. \nHe’s been in the glass industry for over ten years working architects\, fabricators\, glaziers and developers. Geoff is based out of Vancouver\, BC and is also on the Board of Directors for Fenestration Canada. “"\n\n\n\n'”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
