This presentation will be delivered by Johnathon Bain, P.Eng., Q.Adj.(Const.), Principal at Bow Valley Engineering, and Cyril Atemnkeng, Engineering Student Intern and Co-Presenter. Johnathon has nearly 20 years of experience in building science and construction across Western Canada, including extensive work in building enclosure investigations and ASTM E1105 field water penetration testing.

The presentation will provide an overview of ASTM E1105 field water penetration testing for installed windows, doors, and curtain wall systems using a pressurized chamber and calibrated spray rack. The session will cover the history of the standard, how testing is performed, common field challenges, and real project examples of water penetration investigations.

Learning Objectives include:

– Understand the history and purpose of ASTM E1105 field water penetration testing.

– Learn when ASTM E1105 testing is appropriate and how a pressurized chamber and calibrated spray rack simulate wind-driven rain.

– Identify common testing challenges and practical approaches for troubleshooting and interpreting results.

This presentation is certified by IIBEC for 1.0 CEH’s
