Detailing Continuity in Building Enclosure Systems
Sponsored by Huber Engineered Woods and ZIP System® sheathing and tape | Presented by Chris Clark
Webinar On-Demand
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.
