Learning Objectives:

  1. Explain the four primary, code-based control layers that make up a building enclosure system.
  2. Define the primary issues related to continuity of building enclosure control layers in wood-framed wall and roof assemblies.
  3. Review the common choices for products and materials for building enclosure control layers, including critical transitional areas.
  4. Compare different drawing details and solutions for their use in wood-framed wall and roof assemblies.

Designing control barriers to manage bulk water, air, thermal bridging, and vapor in building enclosures is only the beginning to an effective exterior. While straightforward along flat, continuous surfaces, it is the noncontinuous conditions, including transitions, penetrations, and interruptions, that present design and construction complexity to maintain effective barrier performance. This course emphasizes critical areas in which detailing continuity in these control barriers are important to address, especially when using today’s integrated sheathing systems.
