Webinar Description
This webinar is a continuation to the webinar on the introduction to basic building science. Building science involves the study of building materials and the interaction of the “built environment”. In this webinar we take a further look at the interaction between variables such as temperature, air water and moisture and how it impacts the building envelope.
It is reported that 80% of construction problems are related to housing with water and moisture related issues. With newer build requirements we can create homes with unintended consequences in our attempts to increase energy efficiency.
