Air Barriers: Increasing Building Performance, Decreasing Energy Cost
Maria Spinu, Ph.D., an innovative researcher for DuPont and an active member of the Building Science community, will discuss the main moisture sources in buildings, as well as the common materials used to protect against moisture intrusion.
Cracks Happen! Part II
Toby White of Forensic Waterproofing Consultants will continue his discussion "Cracks Happen!" and delve into design measures one can implement to prevent crack occurrence. Toby will also be showing a selection of stucco assemblages based upon climate and exposure. Particular attention will be given to hydrothermal performance characteristics of the four most common stucco assemblies.
