There are a number of building elements that maintain a separation between indoors and out. These elements should be able to work together to provide a comfortable and energy-efficient building. This course reviews building envelope systems, with a focus on selecting performance-based products for below-grade, above-grade, and roofing applications, and a discussion on best practices for design and installation.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Identify the components of building envelope systems, their functions, and why they are critical for the health of the building and its occupants.
- Determine how to select performance-based products to ensure a high-performance building envelope system that protects the building and the comfort and safety of its occupants.
- Define best practices for design and installation depending on the specifics of your project and your building envelope system.
- Explain why proper tie-in detailing at critical junctions is crucial for the entire building envelope to create continuity between the air barriers for below-grade, above-grade, and roof systems.
