Detailing for High Performance Roofs and Walls

We know the concepts behind providing a great building envelope – air tight and well-insulated– but how, exactly, do we do that? In this course, we’ll provide ‘sketch-level’ details of high-performance wall and roof assemblies that designers and builders can use as an outline to develop their own project-specific details.

Learning Objectives:  

  • Review how building science for heat transfer and condensation can help with selecting envelope components
  • Be able to identify common strategies for incorporating continuous exterior insulation
  • Understand options for insulation and membrane products, best applications, and local ability
  • Learn resources for ‘standard’ details and what to watch for in specific applications
