2015 WSEC Training – Commercial Air Barrier

Building air leakage can significantly impact the energy performance of a building through envelope heat loss and higher fan energy to maintain building pressurization. The Northwest Energy Efficiency Council is offering a workshop on December 13th in the Tri-Cities area about the commercial air barrier requirements in the 2015 WSEC. This 2-hour training will provide information about air barrier installation and building enclosure testing.  Click here for the full flyer.

TRAINING TOPICS INCLUDE:

• What is an air barrier and why it is required in the WSEC?
• How to calculate and document the air barrier surface area
• Coordinating air barrier requirements with the design and construction team
• Building enclosure testing requirements in the WSEC
• Best practice testing methods for various building types
• What happens if the building fails the building enclosure air leakage test?
• Reporting building enclosure air leakage test results
