Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC Building Enclosure Symposium in Orlando, Florida. This course includes the recording of the session, a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions, and surveys required to claim continuing education credit.
Description
Everyone knows that air barriers are important, what they do, and how they need to be installed. But how do we ensure the best chance of success for air barriers? This presentation will discuss the role and importance of the quality assurance audit. A discussion will identify what to look for while on-site, how to recognize the root cause of failure for the five key air barrier technologies, and how to develop a corrective action plan for the construction team.
