LEAR 6 - Attached Housing Technical Issues
Thursday, January 25, 2007 · 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
Build, assess, and treat side-by-sides just like detached dwellings, right? Not quite. Explore the opportunities, differences, and complications posed by party walls. How do you interpret a blower door reading when much of the air is coming from the neighbor's unit?
By attending this session, participants will
- Understand what is expected and allowed by codes in attached dwellings and how that differs from single family detached homes
- Learn techniques for air sealing appropriate to attached dwellings
- Discuss IAQ and combustion safety issues and clarify how to address these issues
Keyword(s): air sealing, auditing, combustion testing, diagnostics, fire codes, IAQ, party walls, soundproofing, priorities, row houses, thermal defects, townhouses, worse-case depressurization
