How can you incorporate resilience into a building enclosure? This session will look at minimum specification requirements compared to future-looking codes and how to develop a more robust design, including through specification of quality control. Join us to learn about various roof and wall assemblies, with a focus on their expected performance based on lab and actual exposure. You'll also discover how to future-proof your building with a robust whole-building air and water barrier.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize the difference between the minimum requirements and needed performance criteria for resilient buildings.
- Explore specification requirements for future-proofed whole-building air-barrier materials and installation.
- Learn how to design a resilient roof assembly to meet intensifying weather conditions.
- Discuss wall air-barrier properties that are not referenced in the code but will improve overall building durability.
