Complete Steel Stud/Masonry Veneer Wall Systems, Performance and Specification

In today's high-performance building market, specifying materials that work together as a complete wall system is more critical than ever. Systems can help designers meet new energy codes, reduce costs and liability, and improve building function and sustainability while making the design process faster and simpler. This course will educate participants on the functional components and system attributes of the most common of exterior wall systems, steel stud with masonry veneer. The course will detail key system components such as continuous and stud cavity insulation, air/water resistive barriers, air sealing practices, masonry wall ties, and water drainage/management practices. Key codes and standards will be reviewed to define system interaction and key specification practices to ensure wall system designs consistent with recent advances in building analysis, new code requirements, revised test methods, and a comprehensive, systems approach to wall systems.
