Educational Session

About the Session
In this intensive session for existing homes, participants learn how the many complex changes in home design, building materials, mechanical systems, appliances, consumer lifestyles and expectations over the last 30 years make the building industry more complex and demanding. The session outlines the basic building science physics of air, heat and moisture flow that every builder should know so they can find new business opportunities and avoid the risks inherent in both new construction and remodel projects.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn the fundamentals of air, heat and moisture flow and see how they can be applied to remodeling projects and new home construction to make them more efficient, safe, healthy, durable and comfortable

• Applying building science to common remodel projects such as roofing, re-siding, weatherization, kitchen & bath replacements, windows, foundation & home renewal initiatives

• Identify the best, most cost-effective technical details and process changes needed to achieve the new ENERGY STAR V3 requirements and the new IECC 2009 code changes

• Learn about the successes of other remodelers and builders who have benefited from implementing energy efficiency objectives into their projects
