Workshop Information:
A “building enclosure” is meant to manage everything that gets into and out of it – water, humidity, air, heat, sound, and pests, along with the people and pets that occupy it. How its components are put together makes all the difference in how a house performs, and for how long.
Energy efficiency depends on more than R-value. Durability and quality require much more than sturdy materials. Both are essential elements of building quality.
This 6-hour workshop will highlight common problem areas in residential building enclosures and demonstrate solutions tailored to the gulf region’s hot, humid, rainy climate and conditions. Participants will learn about effective building assemblies and quality assurance details. Workshop topics include:
Moisture Management
The drainage plane
Weather resistive barrier properties and selection criteria
Effective installation details
Insulation
Recommendations, requirements and specifications
Types, properties and criteria for selection
Installation quality assurance inspection
Window Installation (new and replacement)
Installation methods
Detail alternatives and essentials
Selecting suitable materials
The concept and benefits of Wet Floodproofing
Flood-hardy materials
Details for drainable, dryable assemblies
Using Technology to Manage Projects
Keeping project information where you can find it
Choosing technology that’s right for you
Putting technology to work
