October 21 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT

Installing Air Barrier Systems: The Devil is in the Details

Installing air barriers may seem straightforward—until the work begins. The first step is simple: does the material meet the required performance standards? But things quickly get more complex. Where exactly is the air barrier located in the assembly? How do adjacent materials impact its performance? What hidden risks could undermine your results? In this session, get the answers to these questions and more. Learn how to adapt air barrier strategies for different climate zones, meet today’s evolving performance demands, and avoid the common pitfalls that trip up even experienced teams.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Determine the number one reason why you would install an air barrier system on a building.
  2. List the key benefits of incorporating an air barrier system.
  3. Review different air barrier materials and their critical installation requirements.
  4. Identify the top ten air barrier leakage areas.
  5. Explain the importance of having a quality control program for installation of air barrier products and systems.
