Description
Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2025 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Orlando, Florida. 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
The building enclosure industry is increasingly aware that we must reduce the energy demand and embodied carbon of new building construction. The building enclosure has become more complex than ever to design and construct to meet energy code requirements. In several states, code requires that the building enclosure must now meet mandates for air leakage and calculate thermal bridging losses. Moreover, stretch codes can require the enclosure to meet Passive House performance standards. Additional attention to detailing, testing and inspecting are necessary during preconstruction to meet code requirements. Modeling may be required depending on the assembly Is the exterior, continuous insulation of our evolved wall designs truly continuous? How well an assembly will resist thermal conductive heat flow or potential condensation due to air leakage or vapor flow resistance is dependent on the materials and substrates we use in our designs. Compatibility does not guarantee good adhesion. Several typical facade assemblies will be analyzed for compliance regarding thermal resistance, hygrothermal performance (condensation control), and air leakage using modeling and laboratory testing.
