For our virtual only participants, things will be handled slightly differently than normal due to our combined meeting. Link to the meeting room will be sent out prior to the start of the event!
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.
