Houses are made up of many components, combined together in ways that can enhance or sabotage the performance of the completed assembly. Often, the interactions between the building shell, mechanical devices, local climate, and occupant activity generate unanticipated results. Gain an understanding of basic principles and the “House System” so you can begin to predict and / or diagnose these effects. No prior technical knowledge is needed.

 

1.        Recall six principles of heat, air, and moisture movement

2.        Learn three ways that interactions can cause performance problems

3.        Improve your ability to anticipate, prevent, and solve those problems

 

KEY WORDS: [7 to 12; that can be tough!] airflow, back-drafting, building envelope, building science, combustion safety, condensation, depressurization, diagnostics, durability, fundamentals, health & safety, housing performance, pressurization, moisture, pressurization, ventilation
