Air barriers improve the health and comfort of building occupants, improve energy efficiency, and prevent premature degradation of materials, increasing the structure’s life cycle. A successful air and moisture barrier system means under-slab, below-grade, and above-grade systems must work together to provide a continuous barrier. This course looks at above-grade air barrier systems and their types and components. Continuity and compatibility, specification, and installation challenges are also considered.

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

  • Define types of moisture movement within the building envelope, including liquid, vapor, and airborne moisture.
  • Identify potential issues with uncontrolled moisture movement.
  • Identify building components and systems associated with preventing moisture infiltration.
  • Properly specify and detail air barrier materials and associated components in building applications.
  • Discuss installation requirements for a successful air, water, and vapor barrier installation.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
