SUMMARY:2024 March In-Person Meeting
DESCRIPTION:A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To The Illinois Supreme Court Deciding a Routine Duty To Defend Insurance Coverage Case \nPresented by: Jeffrey S. Youngerman Esquire\, of Flaherty & Youngerman PC\n \nOn November 30\, 2023 the Illinois Supreme Court rejected decades of lower court decisions refusing to find insurance coverage for general contractors\, developers and subcontractors under their standard CGL polices when they were sued for property damage arising out of construction defects. Illinois has  joined the much more insurance coverage friendly majority view adhered to by most of the rest of the country.  While the ruling does not mean all repair costs will be covered by insurance\, it will likely result in valuable coverage in many situations.  For example\, it will pay for lawyers to defend you\, and will likely pay for the damages your work causes to other parts of the project other than your work.  Some insurers remove this kind of coverage by slipping in a special endorsement you would not necessarily recognize.  If you are an owner of a building this ruling may make a big difference in whether you are able to make a recovery from the contractor whose faulty work damaged your building. If you are a forensic architect or engineer investigating building damages\, you need to know how to document conditions to maximize the owners’ potential insured recovery.  If you are an insurance broker you need to advise your clients on available coverages\, and possibly seek resubmittal of existing claims. \n About the Presenter \n For over 25 years Jeffrey S. Youngerman Esquire\, of Flaherty & Youngerman PC has litigated construction and professional liability issues on behalf of or against Owners\, Developers\, Contractors\, Architects and Engineers primarily in multi-party defect claims and related insurance coverage litigation. He has handled numerous appeals involving construction law including appearing twice before the Illinois Supreme Court in groundbreaking rulings on enforceability of arbitration clauses in multi-party litigation and warranty law. He has been a speaker on construction law for various organizations\, including consulting with local media for construction related stories like the 2003 Chicago deck collapse. He is a member of ASTM E06 on Performance of Buildings.  For many years he served as an instructor for Lorman Education Services teaching a class on construction law and risk management to Architects and Engineers.  For decades he argued for Illinois to join the majority view in favor of insurance coverage for construction defect damage. On November 30\, 2023 the Illinois Supreme Court agreed with him\, joining the majority view. The Illinois Supreme Court relied on his detailed coverage triggering allegations in the underlying construction defect complaint he prepared resulting in this landmark shift in insurance coverage law expected to benefit Owners\, General Contractors\, and Sub-contractors for years to come. \nThis meeting will take place at: \nWaterview \n350 W Wolff Point Plaza\n15th Floor\,\nChicago\, IL 60654 \nThe committee meeting will start at the usual time 5:00 pm in the Waterview Lounge with drinks and appetizers. At 6:00 pm we will adjourn to the LaSalle Room for our business meeting and technical presentation. \nDo you have a program you would like to share with the committee\, please feel free to reach out to our program coordinator at jose.estrada@clarkdietrich.com

SUMMARY:2024 April In-Person Meeting
DESCRIPTION:How Tall Can We build? Climatic Impact on Internal Pressures of Mega-tall Building \nPresented by: Mehdi Jalayerian\, PE\,  Senior Principal\, ESD now Stantec Consulting Services Inc.\n \nThe climatic conditions at the top of a very tall building are cooler and drier than those at grade. While standard equations exist to describe upper-level climatic conditions for buildings\, the global variation can be significant and local profile data should be utilized to estimate upper-level climatic conditions. Localized climatic conditions such as wind and temperature impact uncontrolled air movement into and out of a tall building due to wind forces on building envelop and air buoyancy caused by indoor/outdoor temperature difference. The uncontrolled air movement or uncontrolled internal pressure difference significantly impact the performance of HVAC and life safety pressurization systems and will impact building energy performance specially in harsh climatic conditions. This presentation discusses the internal pressure variation in mega-tall building and its impacts on building HVAC system design\, operation and energy performance and provides strategies to mitigate and manage such impacts. The financial impact of building operation and its energy performance and disruptive risks of uncontrolled internal building pressure can be effectively mitigated if analyzed holistically and addressed early in the design of tall towers.\nLearning Objectives:\n1. Describe climatic temperature and pressure impact on tall buildings.\n2. Understand internal building pressure variations and its impact in Tall Building and describe the specific steps to mitigate it.\n3.Understand the uncontrolled internal building pressure impact on HVAC system design\, operation\, and energy performance.\n4. Understand uncontrolled air movements due to pressure in tall buildings how to mitigate such problems. \nThis meeting will take place at: \nWaterview \n350 W Wolff Point Plaza\n15th Floor\,\nChicago\, IL 60654 \nThe committee meeting will start at the usual time 5:00 pm in the Waterview Lounge with drinks and appetizers. At 6:00 pm we will adjourn to the LaSalle Room for our business meeting and technical presentation. \nDo you have a program you would like to share with the committee\, please feel free to reach out to our program coordinator at jose.estrada@clarkdietrich.com

SUMMARY:2024 June In-Person Meeting
DESCRIPTION:400 Lake Shore Drive\n \nPresented by: Ryan Culligan\, AIA  and Brad Young (Skidmore\, Owings & Merrill) \nRising at the confluence of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River\, 400 Lake Shore Drive will reshape the skyline with two towers reaching nearly 900 feet\, articulated with terraces that cascade down the eastern facades. Tapering in both plan and section\, the towers frame a view of the lake\, while angling back towards the cityscape. The classic “Chicago window”—a bay window design that is a hallmark of the city’s historic architecture—is re-imagined as a shallow bay of floor-to-ceiling glass\, with metal detailing that evokes the rippling surface of Lake Michigan. \nA plaza between the two towers will mark the end of Water Street\, featuring amenities\, public art\, and spaces for residents and guests within a two-story podium. 400 Lake Shore will redefine the north edge of Chicago’s Riverwalk\, with open spaces and pedestrian routes connecting to the planned DuSable Park. With views encompassing the lakefront\, cityscape\, and the river\, this site\, once home to Chicago’s pioneering figure Jean-Baptiste Pointe DuSable\, will become a legacy shared with future generations of Chicagoans. \nThis meeting will take place at: \nWaterview \n350 W Wolff Point Plaza\n15th Floor\,\nChicago\, IL 60654 \nThe committee meeting will start at the usual time 5:00 pm in the Waterview Lounge with drinks and appetizers. At 6:00 pm we will adjourn to the LaSalle Room for our business meeting and technical presentation. \nDo you have a program you would like to share with the committee\, please feel free to reach out to our program coordinator at jose.estrada@clarkdietrich.com
