Content Description

Basics of Moisture Movement Through the Building Enclosure, 2024
CEU: 0.1 | CEU Code: WR-EN-160503-0325

W. R. MEADOWS, INC. One of the more complicated issues today in building science is addressing moisture movement, since moisture can penetrate a building in several different ways and result in material degradation, air quality issues, and failure of the building enclosure. This course examines the ways moisture can enter a structure and discusses the role of different moisture control layers that, when correctly placed and installed, can prevent unwanted moisture infiltration. 60 minutes.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe how unwanted and uncontrolled moisture can penetrate a building enclosure and why it can lead to poor indoor air quality, low occupant comfort levels, and failure of the envelope.
  • Identify products used in moisture protection systems above and below grade and discuss the importance of selecting materials and systems based on project requirements and local climate conditions.
  • Examine key performance features of the different control layers used to prevent moisture infiltration and recall their role in preventing the premature failure of a structure.
  • Discuss best practices and solutions for the prevention of moisture movement through the building enclosure to improve occupant well-being and the energy efficiency and durability of the envelope.
