Building Science Fundamentals 2007 in Westford, MA on May 29 and 30.
Register online or by calling Christine Cronin at 617-800-2633.

Green buildings need to be durable and resource efficient. An understanding of building science provides designers with a practical means of meeting these goals.

The pace of this course will be unlike typical seminars. Attendees will feel distressed, overwhelmed, energized and enlightened. They will need coffee in the morning and alcohol and sleep in the evening. And then there will be day two. Brace yourselves…

Find Out….

– How the “R” in R-Value doesn’t mean anything except rip-off
– How double facades offer half the performance… at twice the price
– How mold is not the Ebola virus or plutonium
– How neglecting to insulate steel studs on the exterior side might get you sued
– How air borne sampling, especially mold sampling, is typically ineffective
– How terrorism, energy security, global warming, China, SUVs, mold and trial lawyers are changing the way we design and build
– How we in the building industry are uniquely equipped to influence the changing global economy

About the Course

Building Science Fundamentals 2007 is an advanced two-day seminar about optimizing building performance. That is, designing buildings that perform as they should: efficiently and without assemblies that spall, decay, corrode, peel, blister, mold, condense water, leak air and water and otherwise annoy occupants, clients and authorities with jurisdiction.

Learn how to correct these problems in existing buildings and how to avoid them in new buildings. Straube and Lstiburek cover fundamental building science principles (such as the control of heat, air and moisture and IAQ) as well as applications in disaster management, building investigations and sustainability.
