Learning Objectives:

1. Recognize the differences between the four electronic testing methods for roofing and waterproofing membranes.
2. Understand the capabilities and limitations of electronic leak detection (ELD) as outlined in ASTM Guide D7877 & ASTM Practice D8231.
3. Identify potential future design and construction failures based on analyzed data from real time construction monitoring.
4. Distinguish different applications for fully monitored embedded leak detection systems and how they function.

Learning Units will be provided: Yes (AIA LU/HSW)
