ENVELOPE PHYSICS & PERFORMANCE
• Introduction: Focuses on the building facade as a high-performance barrier protecting interiors from volatile external elements.
Instructor Profile
Prerequisites
Description
• Topics Covered: Thermal bridging and U-values; moisture barriers; rainscreens; air infiltration; acoustic insulation; facade thermal expansion joints.
• Course Objectives: Master structural envelope protection techniques to prevent moisture damage, leaks, and energy loss.
• Learning Outcomes: Draft detailed building envelope sections, run basic thermal performance simulations, and specify vapor barriers.
• Tools & Materials: Building physics analysis plugins (e.g., Ladybug/Honeybee); manufacturer catalog details.
Course Rules
• Course Rules: The Waterproof Imperative: Any technical facade assembly drawing showing a direct thermal bridge or a broken vapor barrier fails automatically. Verification Simulation: Technical detail drawings must be accompanied by computerized performance simulation outputs.
