2024 IIBEC Convention Session - Cold Weather Condensation Problems (Pugh E., Krogstad N., Kehrer M.) $95.00 Member/ $110.00 Non-member

Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona.  This course includes the following components:

• recording of the live session
• a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions
• two surveys required to claim continuing education credit

Description
Many low-slope roof systems installed over insulated framing spaces develop condensation problems. Unlike similar steep-slope roof systems that use convection- and wind-driven ventilation to dissipate moisture, effective venting is difficult to achieve in low-slope applications. The risk of condensation problems is especially of concern in framing spaces that are fully insulated to avoid the use of sprinklers in accordance with NFPA 13 requirements, which is the focus of this session. Interior air can flow into these insulated framing spaces through ceiling penetrations, interior walls, pressurized ductwork, and other sources. Solutions often involve using unvented roof systems that consider insulation and air barrier placement. Recent code changes have reduced (although not eliminated) the risk of condensation in unvented insulated roof framing systems. This session will review the causes of condensation in low slope insulated frame roof systems and methods for preventing them.
