Free Webinar: Builder’s Perspective: Insulation and Air Sealing, April 1, 9:30  - 11 am PT
Event Description

Insulation and air sealing are critical aspects of construction, contributing to improved energy performance, reduced operating costs, greater indoor air quality and resiliency during a wildfire emergency. Insulation and air sealing can also contribute to increased construction costs and challenges for building sign-off if not managed effectively. In this course, we’ll hear the builder’s perspective for sequencing the work, selecting materials, training teams on-site and getting the results you want.

Learning Objectives - 

  • Talk through options for insulation and air and vapor barriers, and best practices for selecting and installing each
  • Review the potential negative consequences of thermal bridging in walls and roofs, and discuss assemblies that avoid those outcomes
  • Learn the application and benefits of rain screens in the central coast climate, and different techniques and materials for a rain screen assembly
  • Learn big and little spaces that are problem areas in air sealing, and how to catch them early in construction

Note - Zoom link provided upon registration.
