Wednesday Lunch & Learns – Live Webinars with Torti Gallas + Partners

AIAPV has partnered with Torti Gallas + Partners to offer a limited number of slots for live-webinar online-access of the firm's Lunch & Learn CEU events on one Wednesday each month. AIAPV appreciates Torti Gallas' support in enabling the chapter to provide this valuable benefit for the convenience of members unable to get to our educational events in person. 

The Evolution of Water-Resistive and Air Barriers in Commercial Building Envelope Construction

Course Description:

The purpose of this course is, first, to take a look at the evolution of water-resistive and air barriers — we’ll refer to them as WRB-ABs for short — in commercial building envelopes. And second, to introduce new, all-in-one integrated gypsum sheathing and WRB-AB systems as viable alternatives to traditional systems.

1 LU/HSW

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Explain the key functions required by building codes for water-resistive barriers, continuous air barriers, vapor retarders, and thermal barriers in a building envelope enclosure
2. Describe the durability, resilience, energy efficiency, and advantages/disadvantages of the various WRB-AB systems currently on the market
3. Describe the differences — in manufacturing and performance — between coated and fully integrated methods of all-in-one sheathing systems available in the marketplace today
4. Design with integrated sheathing products to achieve labor, material, and installation time savings in commercial building envelope construction
