August 27, 2 - 3 p.m. EST, webinar: 'Air Barrier
Systems: Silicone Solutions to Reduce Building Air Infiltration'
Building
and renovating more sustainable, near-zero-energy buildings requires effective
solutions to minimize air infiltration. In this free webinar from the CSI
WebReach program, Dow Corning’s Andrea Wagner will outline many aspects of
creating an airtight building envelope, including the air barrier requirements
typically outlined in specifications. She also will explain the different types
of air barriers on the market – along with their pros and cons. Wagner will
show how a durable air barrier system can be created, with emphasis on how this
can be accomplished using a complete silicone system. Additionally, common
problems in development of airtight envelopes will be discussed and solutions
presented.
In
this hour-long webinar, attendees will earn 1.0 Learning Credit/AIA CES and
learn:
- The
basic requirements that air barriers must meet
- Different types of air barriers on the market
and their
- Key
areas within a wall system where detailing is important to system success
- Different solutions currently
on the market for sealing penetrations
