Condensation in metal buildings is a common problem, but it’s not without solutions. Knowing some of the best practices for dealing with the issue gives people an excellent starting point for taking preventive measures.
Owens Corning highlighted its building science knowledge and expertise during the American Institute of Architects A’22 Conference on Architecture, June 23-24 in Chicago.
Because the church was built in the mid-1900s, it lacked adequate roof ventilation, causing heat and moisture to get trapped, increasing the interior temperature and damaging the whole roof system.
In response to the growing demand for sustainable, loose-fill insulation products, The Knauf Group, has increased production capabilities at its Albion, Michigan plant.
The Knauf Group announced the expansion of Knauf Insulation North America with a 600,000 square feet state-of-the-art facility to be constructed at the Industrial Park in McGregor, Texas.
The Energy Management Association have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Insulation Association to facilitate collaboration, education, training, and information sharing.
On Demand This presentation will explain moisture protection strategies by providing in-depth test results on mass timber wetting and drying studies, methods to protect during each construction phase, and the vapor-permeable protection technology available to address wood’s unique moisture characteristics.
On Demand An introduction to the various codes, standards and other resources available to architects and engineers for the specifying, design and detailing of cold-formed steel framing projects.
ON DEMAND This presentation reviews a variety of building types to discuss the continuity of detailing required to manage moisture, air, vapor, and thermal performance, as well as wind resistance requirements at the critical wall-to-roof interface.
On Demand Join us for an engaging, live webinar presented by Steven Burns, FAIA, Founder of The-Well Designed Firm and former Chief Creative Officer at BQE Software as he shares lessons learned over 35 years working with over 1,300 architecture firms.
On-Demand: This course will cover why building movement joints are needed, the differences between various types of joints, how expansion joints should provide continuity of the air and water control layers, as well as samples of what failures can occur.
On-Demand: Attendees will learn best practices for creating an effective blindside waterproofing installation to avoid building leaks that can lead to indoor air quality contamination, mold, and early building decay or even structural failure.
On-Demand: This presentation will provide an introduction to the building science of these key four phenomena of building physics, the mechanism for how they work, and strategies for controlling their transport in assemblies.
This course explores six key concepts that can impact Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings in wall assemblies, enabling the achievement of desired acoustic outcomes.
