Meeting Title
Air Infiltration/Control Barriers
Location
University of Oregon-Portland
White Stag Building, Room 152
Presenters
Stephane Hoffman
Description
High energy costs are placing increased emphasis on energy conservation within the built-environment driving the need for high performing building assemblies. Air barrier systems are critical to fulfilling these requirements and yet critical transitions often compromise their performance. This month's presentation will build on last month's discussion on air barriers and explore the importance of properly interfacing the air barrier at key building transitions as well as other building conditions where the continuity of the air barrier system may not be self evident.
Time permitting, considerations for retrofitting existing buildings to limit air leakage will also be addressed.
