Course: The Effective Thermal Performance of the Building Enclosure: Exterior Walls
Accreditation: 1 AIA HSW, 1 GBCI + 1 AIBC Core LU + 1 AAA , 1 AANB, 1 NSAA, 1 ALBNL Structured LU
Description:
Today, many new buildings must meet the ASHRAE 90.1 requirements for thermal performance. This is a tough objective, since documented proof is required. Effective R-values must be met, not just nominal values, which means that high conductivity materials that cause thermal bridges must be considered in the modelling and calculations.
Often, meeting ASHRAE’s challenging prescriptive compliance is not even enough; some designers look to walls to make up for thermal performance shortfalls from other parts of the building enclosure – such as high glazing area percentages. Many of today’s conventional wall assemblies fall short of even basic compliance, causing larger, thicker, and more costly assemblies than ever before.
Learn what current wall assemblies are getting closest to the target performance levels, what the code–prescribed targets are for your region, and what some innovative companies and designers are doing to solve this issue, both with conventional and proprietary approaches, while saving cost at the same time.

1LU/HSW/ 1 IIBEC CEH plus over 10 other approved associations |
Building envelope failure allows air and moisture infiltration that damages building materials, reduces energy efficiency, and creates unhealthy conditions for building occupants. This course reviews how to enhance building sustainability by designing for net zero energy use and explores how rainscreen systems and roof underlayments contribute to building performance. Approaches to enhancing the energy efficiency of existing buildings are also discussed, including how air and moisture control improvements can be made in historic preservation projects. |
