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.

Managing Condensation, Water Intrusion and Energy in the Real World – 1
Managing Condensation, Water Intrusion and Energy in the Real World – 2
Window opening air and water leakage has been a difficult problem for the construction
industry. This course evaluates building failures, conventional construction approaches, and
new developments in waterproofing techniques to show a path forward for designers seeking
higher-performing wall assemblies.

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.
