Building Envelope Systems-II Walls & Windows

Description

Walls and windows function together as part of a building envelope. This course will teach you industry best practices on how it's done. You'll learn how different assemblies work, including solid masonry walls, cavity walls, exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS), wood and precast concrete walls, and curtain wall systems. Case studies will illustrate issues such as thermal and moisture performance, air leakage resistance, durability, maintenance, life-cycle cost, fire safety, environmental impacts, and low-energy building design using passive solar strategies.

The course material covers part of the Examination Learning Objectives of the Building Envelope Systems Exam conducted by the Building Science Specialist Board of Canada (BSSB) for the Building Science Specialist (BSS®) designation.
