High Performance Building Assemblies - Self Study
About this course
Spend an hour learning about building assemblies with Peter Yost of BuildingGreen.
Heat dries them out, so the more we manage energy flows through our building assemblies, the more we need to manage moisture on, in, and through those same assemblies.
This lecture covers just how heat and moisture can move in building assemblies, how to manage both, and the tools that are available to evaluate or predict hygrothermal performance of building assemblies.
