Back to Basics: Building Science 101 for Building Enclosures

March Meeting for the Building Enclosure Council – Research Triangle
Back to Basics: Building Science 101 for Building Enclosures
Does the phrase hygric bouyancy make you think of the ocean rather than airflow? Are you a deer in the headlights when someone mentions vapor diffusion? Fear not. The Building Enclosure Council of the Research Triangle, in conjunction with the AIA RT Emerging Professionals, is starting a “Back to Basics” series that will remind you of the simple physics we enjoyed as young people (mousetrap cars anyone?) but have sometimes forgotten amidst the complexity that is the building industry in our adult careers. Let us return to that childlike joy of understanding and lightbulb moments together and remember that fundamentals are fun!
Join us as Amy Gelsone leads a presentation on the fundamentals of building science where we will discuss:

Guiding principle of equilibrium as it relates to building science.
How the molecular sizes of bulk water, air, and water vapor pertain to control mechanisms.
How air flows throughout building and potential related problems.
Various modes of heat transfer and resulting impacts on enclosure performance.

Before the Awards Ceremony, come learn about the strategies for design excellence that formed the new NC DHHS Headquarters, with a Site Tour.
In 2015, the NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) began plans to relocate their offices to a new campus and consolidate all administrative staff in the Greater Triangle area. The result is a visionary “urban park” master plan to consolidate over 5,000 DHHS administrative staff within a 34-acre complex on Blue Ridge Road, across from the NC Museum of Art. This vision includes over 750,000 square feet of space, to be constructed in two phases, with a mixed-use development planned for later. Phase 1, featuring a 460,000 SF office tower, a central utility plant, and a parking deck with over 1,000 spaces, is underway and set to be operational by summer 2025.
Tour leaders from LS3P and the Construction Management tri-venture team (Barnhill / Balfour Beatty / D.A. Everett) will describe a collaborative development process to create a campus that emphasizes health, well-being, and productivity. This new campus reflects DHHS’s commitment to stewardship and community engagement and is expected to foster civic synergy and become an integral part of the community.
The tour begins at 5:00p with 1 HSW CEU. PPE is not required to participate in the tour.

NOTE: The registration below is for the Pre-Design Awards tour only. Separate registration for the Design Awards ceremony is required – HERE
