Course Description:
- This course reviews the critical performance characteristics of a building’s exterior walls that can be gained through the testing process. Understanding these concepts allows for a better management of risk by verifying the designs and performance o these walls both in the lab and in the field. Attendees will leave with an understanding of benefits of testing to manage performance as well as the difference between pre-construction laboratory mock-up tests and quality control field testing.
Learning Objectives:
- Understanding the critical performance characteristics of a building’s exterior enclosure and the steps required to replicated in service conditions.
- Explain why a lab PMU is needed to effectively manage risk through verified designs and tested performance.
- Gain a basic understanding of field testing of fenestration and building enclosure systems.
- Understand how lab PMU and QC field testing is referenced in specifications and the enclosure commissioning process.
