The webinar will introduce you to the
primary physical processes present in all
built environments. The core principles–air
flow, moisture flow, pressure, and heat–are
the foundation for the design, construction,
and maintenance of buildings that are du-
rable, energy-efficient, comfortable, and
healthy for the people in them. Building
science drives building code development,
building materials selection, building compo-
nent placement, and construction practice.
Application of building science prevents sys-
tem failures, creates healthy IAQ, improves
energy-efficiency, and aids in the diagnosis of
problems when things go wrong.
Continuing education credits are available.
