High-performance enclosure systems are fundamental to efficient, durable, healthy, sustainable, and resilient homes. The focus of this session will be on how continuous exterior insulation when matched with the proper water, air and vapor control layers can deliver superior energy efficiency, moisture management, and long-term durability. This enclosure strategy will play a critical role in delivering high-performance, moisture-managed enclosures for Zero Energy Ready Homes. The session will highlight robust and efficient slab, foundation, wall, and roof applications and assemblies using continuous exterior insulation (CEI).
Learning Objectives:
By attending this session, attendees will:
Recognize the key attributes for robust high-performance building enclosures
Understand the critical role of thermal, water, air, and vapor control layers and the important relationships between these layers
Gain familiarity with innovative, robust, high-performance wall systems for new and existing homes
