Unlock the key to high-performance building enclosures with this in-depth session on air barriers. Explore the challenges of achieving a continuous, monolithic enclosure and learn how to evaluate and specify air barrier systems—from materials and assemblies to whole building testing. Gain a clear understanding of energy code requirements for air leakage and how proper detailing and sequencing can drive compliance and performance. With practical guidance on specifying, coordinating, and installing air barriers, this presentation equips professionals to design healthier, more resilient buildings with superior energy efficiency and indoor air quality.

Learning objectives:

1. Identify and recognize the challenges of creating a monolithic building enclosure.
2. Describe air barriers for specifying: types, options, materials, assemblies and whole building testing.
3. Comprehend air barrier enclosure performances required for energy code compliance.
4. Apply principles for projects to specify, detail, and coordinate installation to achieve air barrier performance.
