You Are Punching Holes in My WRB? Preventing Water Infiltration Through Cladding Attachment Penetrations

Penetrations of the WRB are unavoidable, but it is critical to ensure that they remain watertight. The recommendations for sealing these penetrations are often based on unrelated test methods such as those for nail penetrations in roofing membranes or on anecdotal evidence. This course will cover a data driven test plan which was used to was used to determine which type of flashing and sealing solution is best to ensure water tightness after cladding attachments are installed over polyisocyanurate insulating sheathing. Additionally, information on how other single-layer insulating sheathing systems allow for water tightness of the assembly after cladding attachment will be discussed....

Insulated Metal Panels: The 'Perfect' Envelope Solution

Review the physics of building envelopes, including hygrothermal loads, control layers, climate zones and cladding functions. The importance of control layer continuity at wall, roof and slab connections is studied. We look at how IMPs perform the same functions as multi-component wall systems through the use of panels joints, sealants and an insulating core. Emphasis is placed on the concept of the Perfect/Universal Wall, and how utilizing the proper ordering of wall components can greatly simplify wall design in all climate zones. Energy codes are also touched on, including their impact on the use of Perfect/Universal Wall designs. This course reduces a relatively complex subject to a level that teaches practical concepts for the building designer....
