Strategy to Process: Building Assemblies

Learn how to design, specify and construct building enclosure systems that are safe, healthy and durable. Led by a high-performance residential architect and building scientist, this course lays out building science principles and uses architectural details and jobsite photos to drive home high-performance standards in all types of assemblies. Both speakers will focus on continuity of the four control layers in building enclosures — water, air, vapor and thermal — and will also discuss attuning assemblies to specific climates.

Three Keys to Designing and Building Durable Roof Systems

This series provides guidance for design and construction professionals to reduce the avoidable financial loss, hardship and disruption experienced by homeowners due to roof failures that occur during natural disasters. Research conducted by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) has shown that as much as 90% of claims filed following natural disasters involve damage to the roof or resulting from some form of roof failure, including water intrusion.

Acoustic Control in Multifamily Construction

This course reviews small, realistic, low-cost (or no-cost) design adjustments architects and builders can make that will greatly reduce a major nuisance factor and disproportionately improve real-world, in-service acoustic performance. Even better, these adjustments offer the benefit of simultaneously improving fire safety, pest control, odor control and energy efficiency.

The Intersection of Building Science and Building Materials

The education event series, led by key industry thought leaders such as Peter Yost and Steve Baczek, provides single-family residential building knowledge. Each event will have an educational track focused on elevating building practices, from understanding building standards, meeting and exceeding the energy code, grasping the principles of heat and moisture and integrating performance components to providing a comfortable, durable, energy-efficient building enclosure.

Airtight, Done Right

Since the 1990s, residential buildings have shown dramatic and consistent improvement in their energy efficiency: Average energy use per square foot is down substantially and so are average energy use per household and average energy use per household member. Remarkably, these improvements have occurred even while the average home has grown larger and the average number of occupants has declined. How do we account for this extraordinary progress, and what can architects do to continue to improve energy efficiency in residential architecture? Can they do so in a way that also intelligently manages risk, particularly the risk of water-related failures such as rot, corrosion, mold and odors?

Insulation, Energy and Durability: Myths, Misconceptions and Reality

This course covers the three most important factors related to the energy efficiency of a building enclosure, the four main approaches to condensation control in wall design and the most common ways those approaches are applied in residential and commercial construction. Christine speaks on the concept of “convective looping” in cavity-insulated walls and its relation to exterior insulation. She provides insight into how to anticipate commonly proposed design changes to standard cavity-insulated walls and their effect on assemblies from a condensation-control perspective.
