The building envelope is only as protected as its design, materials and construction. As a contractor or builder your use and proper installation of a moisture barrier system could be the difference between a structurally sound building and one that ages prematurely due to weatherization. This program will show you how moisture penetrates envelopes, and how to combat it through smart design, material selection and quality construction. This program is intended for contractors and builders and does not offer AIA credit. Take the course.
