Description:
Those of us who live in colder climates are often used to the discomfort of a poorly weatherized house. But did you know that it’s not just insulation that keeps you warm? Sealing your house from air infiltration is just as important, which you probably know if you have drafty windows. Building science is a rapidly developing field that addresses the health, comfort, and longevity of our houses. In this course we give an overview of issues to consider, and dive into hands-on execution of insulation and air-sealing. Our lectures are filled with real life examples of building science failures, and we emphasize the principals that inform good execution.
