This presentation explores the various hygrothermal modeling tools available to assist designers in developing high-performing building enclosures. Topics include interior and exterior climate conditions, material permeance, wall assembly configurations, and […]

In this course, we'll learn about the science behind thermal, air, and moisture control for steel stud construction. We'll interpret the code requirements for building envelope design and performance and […]

The presentation will review building enclosure assemblies that have experienced failures as well as building enclosure assembly designs that would have resulted in failures and the changes to the design […]

Air barrier requirements have been included in IECC and ASHRAE 90.1 for nearly two decades, but whole building airtightness testing has only recently become a code requirement in many jurisdictions. […]

Properly designed and installed through-wall flashings and transition membranes are critical components of a durable and effective building enclosure. This presentation provides a detailed overview of the challenges and solutions […]

Today's buildings are more complex than ever, incorporating multiple layers of materials, numerous trades, tighter schedules, higher performance expectations, and greater cost sensitivity. Unlike the simpler building systems of the […]
