Description: This presentation discusses how water control, airtightness, vapor control, and thermal control layers are utilized to create high-performance building assemblies for the southeast. Demystifying the role these control layers play in today’s high-performance construction.. Practitioners want clarity on control layers’ performance so they can be properly utilized to create resilient, comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient homes. This presentation is a careful look at how to do it.
CEU: 1 HSW
HSW Justification: Healthy homes need to prioritize air sealing to control the location of supply air so that it can be filtered and conditioned (using an HRV or ERV). Healthy homes also need to carefully consider proper vapor control, especially in our humid climate zone. This presentation will highlight proper airtightness and vapor control strategies to prevent moisture concerns and create healthy IAQ.
Learning Objectives:
- Define what qualities differentiate high-performance enclosures from typical construction and how those qualities are evolving.
- Describe practical methodologies practitioners can implement to successfully produce a high-performance enclosure that fosters a healthy and comfortable interior.
- Describe practitioner considerations for high-performance window installation.
