Building Envelope Solutions: Building Code Compliance for Fire, Air, Water, and Vapor

This presentation discusses the key Building Code and Industry Standards for meeting fire, air, water, and vapor requirements in Residential and Commercial construction projects. The building envelope is an essential integrated system in new construction. When system components are incorrectly installed or if the system is poorly designed, the potential for air leakage and moisture problems greatly increase. Evolving building products and material technologies, as well as designed assemblies, achieving code compliance with required fire protection, air and water barrier, and vapor permeance are identified. Selecting the appropriate building materials and proper installation techniques are addressed for creating a barrier and protecting the structure.

Learning Objectives:

1.  Discuss Building Codes and Industry Standards for fire, air, water, and vapor.
2.  Discuss Energy Code Compliance and Energy Rebate Programs specific to climate zones
3. Identify Building Code Solutions with building materials, assemblies, and construction design.
4. Describe installation and testing for a variety of building materials that meet fire performance, air barrier/water barrier, and vapor retarder requirements.
