ENCL 8 - Sealing Key Junctures

Thursday, April 10, 2008  ·  10:30 AM - 12:10 PM

Small areas can have big effects. Identify the building framing details, such as dropped soffits, side attic floor joists, and other wall / floor transitions that can impact the performance of the building. Learn how to address these potential trouble spots and what materials do the job (and some that don't). Primarily intended for those who get the job done, this session is also useful for those who sell, specify, inspect, or manage air sealing in new or existing buildings.
