High-Performance Building for Carpenters (6 Part Course)

May 11, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Six 4-Hour Sessions from May 4th to June 8th.

About the Class

This course teaches carpenters how to apply fundamental building skills to high-performance construction projects. Topics focus on the four layers of a high-performance house: water, air, vapor, and thermal. Throughout the 6-week course, students will learn high-performance essentials through building science lessons and hands-on practice with mock-up assemblies. The multi-faceted learning approach provides carpenters with a holistic understanding of high-performance construction from building science to install. Through classroom concepts, hands-on training, and project management overview, this class is ideal for any carpenter who wants to excel in at high-performance construction. 

Registration closes on April 20th.
