>p>Air barrier systems are becoming a more important   concern for modern, high performance commercial buildings.  This presentation will help you understand   changing codes and standards, why air tightness is important for commercial   buildings, and how to detail exterior air barrier systems.  Because air tightness is a “whole building”   characteristic that depends on the work of multiple trades, we will also look   at commissioning and inspection during construction.  You will come away with a stronger   understanding of how air barrier systems work and how to solve common   problems in design and construction.>/p>

>p>Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) Insulation is an   effective insulator because it is an insulator and air barrier. This course shows   different types of SPF and why it is more effective than traditional   insulation based on building science. This course also provides suggestions   on how SPF could be applied on different construction types, from CMU to wood   framed walls.>/p>

>p>This course shall   provide you with a thorough understanding of how Drain Water Heat Recovery   Systems work and how to include them in the design of homes,   multi-residential buildings and many commercial buildings, including health   care, restaurants, laundromats, and prisons. You shall also be provided with   general guidelines of energy savings and budgetary costing for most of the   more common applications. Furthermore, you shall have an understanding of the   potential LEED® point contributions for most of these building types.  >strong>>em>RenewABILITY Energy Inc. – Joel Murray>/em>>/strong>>/p>
