| Description | Integrated design incorporating building science principles significantly improves the efficiency, comfort, health and sustainability of any project. When building science is integrated into a design at the very earliest stages, the end result is dramatic and the added costs are little or none. Building science involves an understanding of how heat, air and moisture move through buildings, as well as an appreciation for how various building systems and components interact to affect occupant comfort, indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and building durability. This one day class provides architects and designers with a foundational understanding of building science as it applies to residential and small commercial buildings, both new construction and remodel or rehab projects. | ||||||||||||||||
| Audience Level | This class is intended for designers with all levels of experience. From those with little or no building science knowledge to those who have delivered LEED certified projects, everyone will take home comcepts that influence their thinking and approach to the design process. | ||||||||||||||||
