2025 BES Session: Effective Design Strategies for Natatorium Enclosures: Insights from a Real-World Case Study (Hasan)

Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2025 IIBEC Building Enclosure Symposium in St. Louis, Missouri.  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

Participants will develop a comprehensive understanding of the potential risks involved in designing roof and wall assemblies over pools and other corrosive environments. This session will cover effective design strategies to mitigate moisture damage by managing air, temperature, and vapor control. Key roof assembly elements—such as metal decking, fasteners, air/vapor barriers, and insulation—will be discussed in detail. Finally, these principles will be applied in a case study, covering the full project life cycle from concept and design to application, inspections, and handover.

Course Recommended Prerequisite(s)
Basic knowledge of air barriers, insulation, and cladding systems. An understanding of hygrothermal dynamics of moisture sensitive environments

IIBEC Core Competencies: Exterior Walls (EW), Roofing (R)

Knowledge Level: Intermediate
