Steps

  1. Confirm the review is required under ASTM E2813's mandatory independent, third-party design-phase peer review for both Fundamental and Enhanced BECx
  2. Focus the review on continuity of the air barrier, water-resistive barrier, and thermal control layers across each transition (roof-to-wall, window-to-wall, below-grade-to-above-grade foundation transition)
  3. Check each transition detail against the enclosure attributes ASTM E2947 expects to be addressed: moisture control, air flow, heat flow, water vapor flow, and structural performance at the interface
  4. Flag details lacking clear continuity, sequencing notes, or compatible-materials call-outs for redesign before construction documents are finalized
  5. Cross-reference transition details against the project's continuous-insulation and thermal-bridging analysis to confirm the reviewed detail doesn't create an unaddressed thermal bridge
  6. Log review comments and resolutions in the Cx issues log per the project's BECx documentation plan
