Building Science Fundamentals 2008

Dr. Joseph Lstiburek and Dr. John Straube

Building Science Fundamentals 2008 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. You will learn how to correct these problems in existing buildings and how to avoid them in new buildings.

You will learn 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.

Dr. Straube and Dr. Lstiburek work within the realities of the building industry, with all its imperfect materials, imperfect workmanship, and high construction costs as well tough and competitive markets. With building science, Straube and Lstiburek marry comfort, durability and energy efficiency with cost-effectiveness and risk avoidance.

Building Science Fundamentals 2008 focuses on commercial, institutional and multi-family buildings. However residential topics relating to unvented roofs/attics, basement and crawl space construction will also be covered and examples relating to single family construction will be presented.
