Making Transitions: Keeping Air and Water Barriers Continuous
The goal of this roundtable is to understand how using integrated sheathing solutions help streamline detailing and installation.
Presented by: Miya Russell, LEED AP® - Building Envelope Manager, Georgia-Pacific Gypsum
Continuing Education: 1.0 AIA/CES LU/HSW, 1 CPHC CEU
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the role that building construction transitions play in achieving a well-designed building envelope, including conditions that contribute to failure.
- Recognize the points in the design process where construction transitions need to be addressed.
- Review the conditions that promote the movement of bulk water, moisture, or vapor drive and how those conditions impact construction transitions.
- Describe the importance of maintaining the continuity of water-resistive barriers and air barriers across construction transitions and assess integrated sheathing products and systems as a means to achieve that continuity.
