To begin the symposium, we offer a full-day training workshop by Wei Lam (RDH Building Science) and Matt Copeland (Copeland Building Envelope Consulting) on fundamental building science principles and guidance on putting principles into practice. Our goal is to provide practitioners in the design and construction industries with the fundamental background needed to deliver buildings that provide desired performance in terms of durability, efficiency, economy, maintenance, and occupant comfort.

Learning Objectives:

• Attendees will be introduced to fundamental concepts and principles of building science with respect to the design and performance of building enclosures.
• Attendees will learn how building enclosure materials, systems, assemblies, detailing, and construction contribute to building performance.
• Attendees will learn how to define and verify building enclosure performance expectations in design and construction phases.
• Attendees will hear about and learn how to use some available industry resources and references that help practitioners design and optimize high performance building enclosures.
