Peter Yost Presents: Building Science Foundation: Keeping Our Homes Safe and Sound
The building science principles forming the foundation for high performance are heat movement, moisture movement, and how the two always work together. The three forms of heat transferradiation, conduction, and convectionand the four modes of moisture movementbulk water, capillary water, airtransported moisture, and vapor diffusionare covered by practical expressions in buildings.
Learning Objectives:
1.Employ building science principles in their own design, specification and construction work.
2.Use the pen test to determine control layer continuity in their own building assemblies and enclosures.
3.Connect lower load building enclosures to higher performance HVAC.
4.Work with their clients to show how high performance translates into efficiency, better thermal comfort, improved indoor air quality and less maintenance/greater resilience.
