What is this training about?
Whether you are designing, reviewing submissions, or constructing today’s buildings, this training will help you achieve effective, high-performing building envelopes that meet code performance requirements and improve occupant health, energy efficiency, and building durability.
This training will cover best practices for air sealing, insulation, mitigating and accounting for thermal bridges, and ensuring your projects pass tests and inspections. With this knowledge, architects can design and detail truly high-performing building envelopes, contractors can confidently build code-compliant projects, and building officials can hold all projects to the same performance standard.
What will you learn?
By the end of this training, you will be able to:
- Clearly illustrate air-barrier continuity in construction documents.
- Provide detailed construction documents to support air-sealing, insulation placement, and alignment of the air barrier with the thermal boundary.
- Properly identify and account for different types of thermal bridges to meet thermal envelope requirements.
- Describe the link between comfort, health, and envelope performance.
