The building envelope plays the critical function of separating the outside environment from the inside environment. The elements within the building envelope provide a weathertight defence and regulate the indoor environment, including air quality and thermal efficiency.
This seminar provides an overview of roof and wall assemblies with a focus on walls and the installation requirements and performance of the current commonly used wall cladding systems. It covers the weathertightness performance of wall assemblies and claddings for mid-rise buildings and compares these requirements with typical low-rise residential buildings. The seminar will also look at airtight versus breathable wall and roof assemblies, the ventilation requirements of building interiors with airtight assemblies and ventilation for roof assemblies.
This 21-centre seminar covers a wide range of topics:
Wall claddings:
Weathertightness:
