WET 1 - Preventing Moisture Failures in Buildings

Tuesday, April 24, 2007 · 10:00 AM - 11:40 AM

Durable building design and common sense are not mutually exclusive. This session offers a number of case studies illustrating building failures with obvious causes. A discussion of needed repairs demonstrates the point that economics favor doing things right the first time.

By attending this session, participants will

Gain a greater appreciation for the importance of respecting the laws of physics in choosing building envelope design and component selection
Recognize the magnitude of money wasted because of foolish building designs
Learn to be aggressive in demanding durable building design in the planning stages
