Problems associated with moisture in construction are common and wide-ranging—from mold and rot, to corrosion and degradation, to leakage and staining—and affect not just the durability, appearance, and functioning of the building, but also the health of the building’s occupants. This course addresses the materials and techniques that help to manage moisture in exterior walls and includes examples of common mistakes that lead to failures.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Define moisture management and discuss its importance to occupant health, building durability, and lower costs.
- Describe the forms of moisture and how it moves in and around the exterior wall.
- Identify the building envelope materials that contribute to effective moisture management in exterior walls, and restate the applicable testing and standards.
- Detect and avoid common failures in material selection and installation, and describe proper methods for both that will mitigate future damaging and harmful moisture issues.
