SUMMARY:Managing Moisture Risk in Cold-Climate Roof Assemblies Using WUFI Hygrothermal Analysis 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:This course examines how modern building codes and airtight construction practices are increasing the importance of moisture-aware roof design in cold-climate environments. Participants will explore building code requirements and the growing risk of moisture entrapment in roofing assemblies. The course introduces hygrothermal modeling as a predictive tool\, using WUFI to analyze roof assemblies’ long-term performance. Through comparative analysis using real-world case studies\, attendees will gain a clear understanding of how vapor-permeable underlayments enhance drying potential and provide greater moisture management compared to vapor-impermeable membranes\, supporting more durable and resilient roof system design decisions. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify the relationship between current building codes and the increased risk of moisture entrapment in airtight building envelopes.\nUnderstand the role of hygrothermal analysis (WUFI) in predicting the long-term performance of roof assemblies in cold climates.\n Analyze the difference between vapor-permeable and vapor-impermeable membranes regarding drying capacity and “moisture safety margins.”\nAssess WUFI case studies to understand how vapor-permeable underlayments improve moisture performance compared to vapor-impermeable underlayments.\n\nRegister Now \nScott Wood\, Senior Building Scientist\, VaproShield \nMr. Scott Wood has decades of experience in building science and infrared thermography as an instructor and consultant.

SUMMARY:What the Heck are Air Barriers\, Vapor Barriers\, and Water-Resistive Barriers? A Simplified Look at Air Barriers & Thermal Bridging 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:These terms are often described as simple—so why is there so much confusion? This presentation explains what air barriers\, vapor barriers\, and water-resistive barriers are\, and when a single material may serve more than one function. That overlap is often where misunderstandings arise. The session explores which barriers are critical\, which may be less so\, and how their role can change depending on where they are installed within the building envelope. The impact of thermal bridging on barrier performance is also examined. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Define air\, vapor\, and water-resistive barriers\nIdentify the various ways water can enter a building\n Explain why hidden conditions often present the greatest risk\n Recognize which barriers are critical to building performance\n\nRegister Now \nLaverne Dalgleish\, Executive Director\, Air Barrier Association of America \nLaverne Dalgleish is the Executive Director of the Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA). As such\, he works to champion energy conservation in buildings while educating the building owners and designers about the benefits of energy conservation such as durability\, comfort\, reduced maintenance\, reduced HVAC equipment costs and the positive impact on the environment. \nMr. Dalgleish travels North America on a weekly basis to educate building owners and designers on the benefits of effective and working air barrier systems in buildings. This education mission includes working with standards development organizations\, training and education groups\, government policy departments\, and quality assurance program developers for the construction industry. Mr. Dalgleish is the Secretariat of two ISO Committees\, ISO TC61 SC10 Cellular Plastics and ISO TC163 SC3 Thermal Insulation Products. He is also Chair of the ULC Thermal Performance in the Building Environment Standards Committee. \nMr. Dalgleish was the key developer of the ABAA Quality Assurance Program for the installation of air barrier systems in buildings. This program is based on ISO9000 and ISO 12576-2 but brings the ISO requirements together with practical applications for the air barrier industry.
