ACI Home Performance Conference 2008

FUND 1 - Heat, Air, & Moisture Flow: House as a System

Tuesday, April 08, 2008  ·  10:00 AM - 11:45 AM

Houses are interactive systems, and an improvement to one part of a home can sometimes cause unanticipated effects on another part. This session focuses on becoming able to predict and / or diagnose these effects, primarily in order to prevent the negative ones. No prior technical knowledge is needed.
 
By attending this session, participants will
 
  1. Have a better understanding of driving forces that impact moisture, heat, and air movement in buildings
  2. Learn some of the ways that interactions can cause performance problems
  3. Better understand the concept of home performance and the role of diagnostics in verifying that expected results are achieved
