SUMMARY:Understanding the Impacts and Risks of Building Envelope Upgrades (Pt. 1)
DESCRIPTION:A well-constructed building envelope is key to a healthy\, energy-efficient modern home. Experts from RDH Building Science will explain and demonstrate methods for delivering high-performing building envelopes by retrofit. Join this three-part series to learn how to spot common mistakes and how to follow best practices for upgrading great building envelopes. \nPart 1: Building Science Fundamentals and the Importance of Continuity of Critical Barriers. \nGain a foundational understanding of building science and how performance and durability rely on continuity of the building envelope. \nRegister on Eventbrite \n  \nNotes\nThis event has been pre-approved for 1 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Point through BC Housing. \nEvent is free of charge\, but you must pre-register. \nIf you can’t attend the webinar – no problem!
