Course Description
à This presentation will provide an in-depth look at a variety of wood-frame building enclosure assemblies and details. Beginning with a brief review of building enclosure design fundamentals and considerations, it will then focus on best practices for wall assembly design with references from technical guidelines and case studies. Finally, the critical
detail interfaces between different enclosure assemblies ( i.e., walls, roofs, balconies, windows, foundations) will be reviewed with a focus on continuity of control layers. A series of details and case studies will be provided for each.

Learning Objectives
à Review building enclosure design best practices for light wood-frame buildings.
à Demonstrate effective methods of controlling heat, air, and moisture movement through wood-frame assemblies.
à Discuss common details used for light wood-frame wall and roof enclosure assemblies.
à Using case studies and details from past projects, demonstrate unique considerations and best practices associated with the interfaces between adjacent enclosure assemblies.

Old versus New
à Trend towards more energy efficiently building enclosures
à Air barriers now required in 2012 IECC and 2013 CEC
à Continuous insulation becoming more common
à Seeing more new building materials, enclosure assemblies and
construction techniques
à More insulation = less heat flow to dry out moistureà “Marginal” assemblies that worked in the past may no longer
workà Amount, type and placement of insulations matters, for vapor, air
and moisture control
à Need to fully understand the science and interaction of design parameters

à Moistureà Air holds moisture that can be
transported and deposited within assemblies.
à Energyà Unintentional airflow through
the building enclosure can account for as much as 50% of the space heat loss/gain in buildings.

à Air, water, and thermal control layers continuous behind pre-finished balcony
à Simplifies detailing – no saddles
à Continuous water, air, thermal layers
