    Building Science: Principles to Practice (3 Part Course)

    Virtual Event

    In this two-part training, we'll explore the fundamentals of how heat, air, and moisture relate to the building enclosure and how those loads shape durability, efficiency, and comfort. Participants will develop the ability to identify enclosure performance drivers and challenges and learn to build from the lens of the local climate, code requirements, and construction realities of New England. Participants will also leave with an understanding of how design choices affect comfort, durability, and efficiency long after occupancy, allowing them to implement these principles into their projects.
