Liberty Building Forensics Group is hosting a webinar on air barriers and building mold and moisture failures, February 22 1:15 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. EST.
This webinar will be presented by Liberty Building Forensics Group experts Donald B. Snell, PE, CMC; and Charles Allen, Jr., AIA.
The webinar will:
-
Use case studies to show exactly how air barrier failures can occur and how to avoid those failures.
-
Present the air barrier building codes and standards that are most confusing and discuss how to use them to benefit your next project.
-
Outline a practical way to mitigate catastrophic mold and moisture problems from air barrier failures on your next project.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand through the use of case studies the hidden risks of mold and moisture damage from poor air barrier design and installation.
- Learn the differences between water barriers, vapor retarders, air barriers, and thermal barriers in a building envelope and understand how to determine their performance in order to avoid water/moisture intrusion and mold problems.
- Identify how the HVAC system design could be the cause of your air barrier failure and how it might be contributing to moisture and mold problems.
- Know how to analyze multiple building codes and use them to prevent air barrier-related mold and moisture building failures.
