About the Class

This in-person training teaches carpenters how to apply fundamental building skills to High-Performance Construction projects. Topics focus on the four layers of a High-Performance house: water, air, vapor, and thermal. Participants will learn High-Performance essentials through building science lessons, hands-on practice with mock-up assemblies, and project management training. The multi-faceted learning approach provides carpenters with a holistic understanding of High-Performance construction from building science to install. This training is taught by two sustainable building experts accompanied by guest speakers representing materials manufacturers and vendors.
