In residential and commercial buildings, a well-designed, high performance, continuously sealed envelope that is well executed contributes to low energy consumption and reduces CO2 emissions. It increases both occupant comfort and most importantly the building’s long term durability. “Airtightness & Moisture Management – Strategies in High Performance Building Envelopes,” is a fresh look at the functions of the wall assembly, and how a well-planned weather, air, and vapor sealing strategy avoids risk and saves money.

During this collaborative webinar, participants learned about:

• Building science fundamentals and the environmental impacts that affect building performance
• Building envelope key components & terms
• The importance of a continuous weather & air tightness layer(s)
• Strategies to avoid risk from design to implementation
