The Science and Implementation of High-Performance Residential Assemblies
Whether newly built or retrofitted, high-performance residential buildings begin with envelopes that involve increased thermal demands, greater assembly complexity, and wider material choices. To meet these challenges, architects and builders must get the building enclosure details right the first time, starting with the earliest stages of schematic design and continuing during construction and during occupancy. This workshop provides methodologies for how best to design and manage these details and achieve superior hygrothermal—moisture and heat—performance.
