Join us to explore how to select the right air barrier product solutions for your building envelope needs. Evaluate performance characteristics of various materials, including fluid-applied membranes, self-adhered sheets, mechanically fastened wraps, and factory applied solutions. Explore key selection criteria like ease of installation, application conditions, material compatibility, and sealability.

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

• Explore building science principles to understand the roles of different control layers in the building envelope system. Look at different approaches and discuss when and why each might be selected.
• Navigate regulatory and code requirements by reviewing current codes, climate zone strategy and verification testing.
• Evaluate material and system selection through comparing air barrier types including installation differences.
• Understand where most systems fail, and how to ensure the continuity of your envelope through common transitions.

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