A fresh look at the features of resilient and efficient envelope design presented by SIGA North America
March 14, 2024
In residential and commercial buildings, a well-designed and executed continuously sealed building envelope contributes to low energy consumption and reduces CO2 emissions. It increases occupant comfort and the building’s long-term durability.
The Airtightness and Moisture Management presentation is a fresh look at the features of resilient and efficient envelope design. Attendees learn about key layers of a building envelope, and how a well-planned weather, air, and vapour sealing strategy reduces risk and saves money.
- Building science fundamentals and the environmental impacts that affect building performance.
- Building envelope key components and terms.
- The importance of a continuous weather and airtightness layer(s).
- Strategies to avoid risk from design to implementation
