Join us at our Burnaby showroom for an educational seminar presented by SIGA.

Air Tightness & Moisture Management

Strategies in High-Performance Building Envelopes

Thursday, March 7th 12 PM – 1 PM

In residential and commercial buildings, a well designed and executed high-performance and continuously sealed envelope contributes to low energy consumption and reduces CO2 emissions. It also increases occupant comfort, decreases operating costs and contributes to the building’s long-term durability.

“Air Tightness & Moisture Management – Strategies in High-Performance Building Envelopes” is a fresh look at the features of resilient and efficient envelope design that examines the key layers that comprise the fabric of the building and how a well-planned weather, air and vapor sealing strategy avoids risks, saves money and helps achieve energy and thermal performance targets.

SIGA develops and produces high-performance products free of toxins that are resistant to aging and provide an airtight seal for buildings of all types. Today, approximately 50% of the world’s energy requirements are consumed by heating and cooling buildings. This affects the environment and accelerates climate change. SIGA is committed to energy-efficient buildings to stop this progression.

Learning Objectives (1 Core LU / 1 Group A CPD)

Participants will be engaged in a discussion and a hands-on envelope detailing workshop. During this 1-hour interactive course, participants will learn:

• Building science fundamentals and the environmental impacts that affect building performance
• Building envelope key components and terms
• The importance of a continuous weather and air tightness layer(s)
• Strategies to avoid risk from design to implementation
