Moisture Control, Mold, and the Science Within the Building Envelope Review
A thorough discussion of the elements that make up the building envelope, the science behind the envelope, and the forces acting on the envelope will be provided. This discussion is applicable to those assessing buildings for molds, IAQ, and general sick-building investigations. A building envelope is described in its three basic elements, each constructed differently to shed moisture. Moisture forces acting on the envelope will be discussed, including: controlled, induced, occupant loading, and others.
Building materials, building methods, and engineering systems will be discussed as applicable to moisture control. Many photographs and drawings of buildings, building systems, and architectural elements, contributing to or resisting moisture, support this presentation. Computer modeling of moisture movement in building materials and wall assemblies will be introduced. Those attending will gain a more thorough understanding of the science within the building envelope.
