Comprehensive Building Science
This Advanced Building Science course will not only cover the basics of building science, but will teach you more advanced concepts of:
How Buildings Work
Balancing Energy
Moisture & Indoor Air Quality
Rain & Moisture Management
Indoor Air Quality & Ventilation
Optimizing your HVAC Systems.
Upon completion of this course, students will:
• have a good working knowledge of what a building envelope is and how to explain that to your client,
• know the major components of a building envelope and how they work together as an integrated system to achieve an “air tight” building,
• understand and be able to explain the methods of testing a building to determine if the building envelope is performing well,
• and finally, be able to apply the knowledge of this particular integrated system to the sustainable building as a whole.
This class is perfect for architects, mechanical contractors & engineers, builders, general contractors and anyone building a home and interested in Building Science, the Building Envelope & Energy Efficiency.
