Knowing the importance of preserving existing buildings and material, as explored in “Re-Solution Part I: A Carbon Case for Building and Material Re-use” this course will examine which strategies are best for different structures and situations. We will explore different [a host] of scenarios and case studies, with an eye towards the potential for improvement across the board. Carbon (dioxide) is a hot topic these days and will be a companion of sorts, though we will be sure to include H20 (oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen) since all of these work interdependently in buildings, colluding as an all-too-often overlooked enemy of sustainability: moisture damage. If a building leaks, it is not sustainable. Here we will brush with a broader stroke, emphasizing the need for good design and detailing, while exploring examples of successful wall and roof assemblies. In “Re-solutions III: Facilitating Architectural Re-use and Wiser Wood in New Construction,” we will hone in on specific factors which can help hedge successes and minimize pitfalls in implementing reuse strategies.

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

• Learn goals and methods for achieving Net Zero (and what that means)
• UPDATE LEARNING OBJECTIVE HERE: Gain ability to explain Deep Energy Retrofits through exploring examples
• Comprehend building science principles for managing H20, NO and CO2
• Articulate factors of building envelope assembly performance as it relates to Historical Preservation
• Embrace the latest technological improvements in (re)roofing assembly performance.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
