Course Description

Commercial Construction today is all about reducing waste. Whether its time or energy, commercial construction has been designed around efficiency. Pre-fabrication of the air barrier membrane can decrease the time needed during construction without compromising performance. This presentation will go through the benefits involved in the prefabrication, things to look out for when evaluating and selecting these systems, and give insights on connectivity choices when it all comes together on the jobsite.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify the impact air barriers have on a building’s energy efficiency, operating cost, indoor air quality and the infiltration of moisture.
  2. Understand how to overcome the obstacles surrounding air barrier installations.
  3. Compare technologies and their impact on performance testing.
  4. Review the necessary connectivity and transitions occurring on projects and the critical role they play in the system.
