Introduction to Air Barriers in Wall Assembly Design

Wall system applications are becoming more and more common in the building envelope industry today. Explore the science behind wall systems and the tangible benefits of incorporating this technology into building structures. There is an emphasis on the differences between air barriers that are impermeable to vapor drive and air barriers that are vapor permeable and which is the best in each climate and wall assembly.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Define the common terms that are used in the context of wall assembly design in commercial building construction.
  • Explore the science of the wall assembly layers and how they can control the movement of air as well as the movement of water in both its liquid and vapor form through a structure.
  • Learn three core benefits of integrating these control layers in your designs.
  • Discuss the applicability of “The Perfect Wall” design using air barriers.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
