This course will review best practices for detailing critical transitions such as roof-to-wall and wall to below-grade connections, where discontinuities often lead to failures. Special attention will be given to vapor permeable air barrier systems and their ability to maintain airtightness while supporting drying potential within the assemblies.
This presentation examines the role of concrete tile roof systems as a high performing component of the building enclosure, with a specific focus on energy performance and solar compatibility. While roofing discussions often center on aesthetics or installation, this session shifts the focus to how roof system design influences heat transfer, peak energy demand, and long-term operational costs.
This course will detail the progression of early building joint firestop methods to today's best practices, such as preformed firestopping and fire rated drywall accessories. Architects, engineers and specifiers will gain new perspective from this presentation, discovering more modern approaches to joint firestop methodology.
