Introduction to Existing Building Retrofits

This program introduces building retrofits as a method to achieve green building standards by adapting existing structures. While a building retrofit may have several types of interventions, participants will learn how effective air sealing will improve overall occupant comfort, health, and safety. This includes a detailed look at sources of air leakage and the various methods to address this infiltration. Several real-world examples will demonstrate the importance of identifying source of air leakage, investigating existing conditions, and proper detailing.

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

• Define building retrofits and identify goals of interventions.
• Illustrate how effective air sealing can help achieve goals of retrofit.
• Identify common sources of air leakage.
• Explain how to implement air sealing in a building retrofit.

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