SUMMARY:Virtual Seminar - Building Science Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:American Institute of Architects\nBuilding Science Fundamentals\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAVAILABLE: Live Virtual Seminar \n\nMay 05\nMay 07\nMay 12\nMay 14\n\n16 AIA CEU credits \n\n\nAmerican Institute of Architects (AIA)\n16 LU|HSW\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now \n\n\n\nPrice: $595.00\nLimited Number of Spots \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilding Science Fundamentals is a LIVE! virtual seminar that teaches the basic knowledge needed to design and build durable\, energy-efficient\, affordable\, and healthy buildings. Our past registrants have benefitted tremendously from the interactive sessions with Dr. Lstiburek where questions are encouraged. Because of that\, we limit attendance to 50 or so. Each $595.00 series consists of 4 afternoons of instruction. Upon completion of the seminar\, members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) will receive 16 LU|HSW posted directly to the AIA Provider website. \nThe time for the sessions will be from 1:00-5:00 pm EST. \nDr. Joseph Lstiburek will discuss building science principles (such as the control of heat\, air\, and moisture and IAQ) and show you how to apply them to low-energy enclosure design\, advanced HVAC systems\, forensic investigations\, and the repair and retrofit of existing buildings. \nThe Fundamentals class has been attended by thousands of builders\, architects\, engineers\, building science consultants\, building code officials\, facility managers\, building product manufacturers\, and government officials. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\nSession One\n1:00 pm – 5:00 pm\n\nSession Two\n1:00 pm – 5:00 pm\n\n\nEnvironmental Separation\nThe Myth of the Dew Point\n\n\nDefinition of a Building\nRoofs Vented and Unvented\n\n\nThe Effect of Climate\nHygric Buoyancy\n\n\nThe Perfect Wall\nIce Dams\n\n\nThe Water Molecule\nBasements\n\n\nRelative Humidity and Vapor Pressure\nCrawlspaces Vented and Unvented\n\n\nAir Flow and Vapor Diffusion\nSlabs and Flooring\n\n\nRain\n\n\n\nCapillarity\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession Three\n1:00 pm – 5:00 pm\n\nSession Four\n1:00 pm – 5:00 pm\n\n\nStucco Failures\nRetrofits\n\n\nPressure and IAQ\nMass Buildings\n\n\nBuildings as 3-D Airflow Networks\nFreeze Thaw\n\n\nControlling Pressures and Pathways\nInterior Foundation Retrofits\n\n\nStack Effect and Compartmentalization\nHistoric Building Limitations\n\n\nHVAC\nFrame Buildings\n\n\nPart Load and Humidity Control\nDeep Energy Retrofits\n\n\nCentral Systems vs. Distributed Systems\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nREGISTER HERE
