Choice of Air Barriers for Commercial Building Enclosures

This program is intended to give attendees a deeper understanding of air leakage, air barriers, and air barrier systems as a whole for commercial buildings. Participants will learn the main evaluations performed on air barriers and air barrier systems, as well as characteristics of fluid applied, mechanically fastened (wraps), rigid boardstock, and other air barrier systems. Presentation also addresses why air barrier continuity is critical for performance, and common installation mistakes and how to avoid them.

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

• What is air leakage and What is an air barrier
• What are the main types of air barrier systems evaluated by ABAA (Air Barrier Association of America)
• What are the main characteristics of Fluid Applied (FA), Self-Adhered (SA), Mechanically Fastened (Building Wraps), Rigid Board stock and Other Air Barrier Systems
• Why air barrier continuity is critical for performance, and What are the common installation mistakes
