SUMMARY:Moisture Defects in Buildings - A Sick Building Pandemic 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Moisture Defects in Buildings – A Sick Building Pandemic\nPoor air quality caused by water damage and mold is contributing to increasing health burdens on occupants of buildings of every type\, construction and age…including new construction. Understanding and applying building science fundamentals along with considerations uniquely related to region\, site\, structure type\, materials and construction coordination is the key to successful building solutions that will be durable and supportive of occupant wellness over time. Bulk water\, condensation\, pressure differentials\, capillary action\, construction processes and even occupant activities contribute moisture to buildings which must be managed properly in today’s increasingly complex structures. Despite building code requirements\, common building defects continue to be overlooked by all involved in the quest for sustainability and at the expense of durability and wellness. Incorporating decades of research and professional education related to building science along with a personal health journey related to environmental toxin exposure\, this program raises awareness of the key role our buildings play in health and wellness. Professionals and non-professionals alike will gain knowledge and insights to discover\, correct and avoid building defects\, errors and omissions that often lead to water damage\, high indoor humidity\, mold and poor indoor air quality to confidently build facilities which are durable as well as being wellness supporting environments. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Recognize causes and sources of water accumulation in building materials with potential health impacts.\nEvaluate the impacts of moisture on all building materials.\n Consider the mechanics of moisture movement for building design.\nRecognize moisture related building defects and design solutions to avoid them.\n\nRegister Now \nCheryl Ciecko\, President/Architect\, Dwell Well Institute \nCheryl Ciecko is a licensed architect\, building science and healthy building consultant providing education and resources to professionals and individuals world-wide. Cheryl uses her professional education and experience\, and extensive building science-focused research related to air quality\, moisture management and building science\, to identify and resolve building defects that can affect health and wellness of building occupants. As a thought leader with an online consulting practice supporting individuals and professionals\, Cheryl specializes in building defect avoidance\, water damage and mold\, reaching thousands of followers each month.
