The Predictability of Moisture Control & Building Air Tightness 9/14/2021 11:00 AM - 9/14/2021 12:00 Noon

Thu, 02 Sep 2021 09:32:52 GMT

Learning Objectives:

Discover through the use of case studies, the hidden risks of mold and moisture damage from poor air barrier design and installation. Discuss 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. Analyze multiple building codes and use them to prevent air barrier-related mold and moisture building failures.

Confusion over air leakage standards can pose a real difficulty for designers. Air barrier testing is not always easy and the results can lead to a false sense of security. There should be a way to determine the risk of having a catastrophic mold and moisture problem from an air barrier failure before you design or build your next project. This webinar will be presented by Liberty Building Forensics Group experts George DuBose, CGC; Richard Scott, NCARB, AIA; Donald B. Snell, PE, CMC; and Charles Allen, AIA. This 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; and outline a practical way to mitigate catastrophic mold and moisture problems from air barrier failures on your next project.

Project Manager Academy
September 14-17, 2021 | Denver, CO
Project Manager Academy is four days of tough, no-nonsense, total immersion into the business of construction that will fast-forward all attendees’ knowledge, decision-making skills and leadership abilities so they leave the academy thinking and acting like construction entrepreneurs for every project. The greatest distinction between project managers and entrepreneurs is how much personal stake the individual has in a project’s success. While both are self-directed to coordinate talents and resources in order to provide profitable customer service, entrepreneurs consider a project success, a personal success and a project failure, a personal failure. In short, entrepreneurs have a compelling sense of ownership in their work. Attitude of personal ownership toward a project sets a higher standard for performance.
