Sink or Swim: Effective Natatorium Envelope Design Thru Case Study Participants will develop a comprehensive understanding of the potential risks involved in designing roof and wall assemblies over pools and […]

Prefabrication of exterior wall systems and assemblies is a growing trend in the construction industry. There are many terms used to describe this process (panelized, modularized, unitized, etc.) and the […]

“Systems thinking” is a term that is discussed at times in Building Science. But what if systems thinking asks us to consider more factors in the long term viability of […]

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 […]

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 […]
