The Winter 2022 edition features two CEU articles to earn continuing education credits. These articles cover roofs for cold storage buildings and low-slope roofing air barriers and vapor retarders.
Waterproofing is essential for many commercial buildings. Those in particularly wet or humid areas will especially benefit from it, but every structure — no matter where it is in the country — should be waterproofed.
Selection of a suitable waterproofing system can present a building project team with a baffling array of choices. With dozens of manufacturers and hundreds of products to choose from, there is a formidable amount of data to evaluate in order to make a thorough investigation.
The type of cladding material chosen for a project not only affects the building’s overall aesthetic, it also plays a central role in how the rest of wall system should be designed to best protect the structure from the elements.
Building science and construction (methods/types) come together in cold storage buildings. The unique idea of an “always cold” interior pushes the discussion about vapor drive and air intrusion of the enclosure of a cold storage building to a higher level.

Climate change isn’t just making the planet warmer. It’s also impacting everything from weather patterns to sea levels, causing excessive rain, record-breaking storms, devastating wildfires, and everything in between.
