Basics of Moisture Movement
Thursday, May 18th – 12 PM CST
Host: Nick Tam
This course serves as a comprehensive introduction into the world of building envelope moisture migration. Whether in liquid form, carried by air, or driven by vapor pressure, moisture poses a threat to our structures. This presentation describes how moisture enters the building enclosure above- and below-grade, how moisture can affect the structure and its occupants, and what products and systems can be used to keep moisture out. This presentation also touches on design and installation best practices that allow these products and systems to work as intended. This program is registered with the AIA/CES for continuing professional education and is HSW-approved. The course earns one learning unit (LU).
