R-Guard: Wall Air & Water Barrier Solutions

The Role of Air and Water-Resistive Barriers in the Building Envelope

 
An introduction to air and water-resistive barriers and how they work. The role of air leakage in
causing mold in walls and high energy costs is explained. The program includes discussion of the
different products on the market. It also explains why contemporary building envelopes need
these products now more than ever before.
 
Presented by various experts on behalf of PROSOCO.

This course qualifies for 1.0 AIA/HSW LU.

Introduction to Existing Building Retrofits

 
This program introduces building retrofits as a method to achieve green building standards by
adapting existing structures. While a building retrofit may have several types of interventions,
participants will learn how effective air sealing will improve overall occupant comfort, health,
and safety. This includes a detailed look at sources of air leakage and the various methods to
address this infiltration. Several real-world examples will demonstrate the importance of
identifying source of air leakage, investigating existing conditions, and proper detailing.
