Ryan Dalgleish – Session: SPECtacular Updates to Air and Vapor Barrier Specifications
There are not enough hours in the day to keep up with all the changes related to the building enclosure. Changes to codes, materials, strategies, and green programs can make you dizzy and ready to just give up! Well, do not fear, the Air Barrier Association is here! In this session we’ll discuss the most up-to-date test methods, standards, and key items to update in your specifications, and the impacts of moving to net zero buildings. We’ll also discuss how building airtightness plays a key role. We must go from “okay” building enclosures to super-high performance to not rely solely on renewables to meet net zero goals. But it’s not just about air, we need to talk about moisture too. We’ll review important aspects to consider from a moisture management strategy.
