Join Building Enclosure Council Research Triangle for a presentation on the four major control layers of the building enclosure. Joseph Anetrella will explain the mechanisms of heat, air, bulk water and vapor and how they transport through building assemblies. This discussion will cover the importance of air barriers and continuous insulation as well as common installation challenges seen in the field. He will also present key strategies for achieving durable, energy-efficient, and thermally comfortable wall, roof and below grade assemblies.
