Event Description

Home Building Crossroads provides residential home construction professionals a chance to discuss challenges and hear solutions from today’s leading experts, as well as network with other professionals from their region. The educational webinar series, featuring Steve Baczek of Steve Baczek Architects and Peter Yost of Building-Wright, focuses on different regions and climate zones to provide single-family residential building knowledge.

This course features a leading high-performance residential architect and building scientist who tag-team to reveal just how to design, specify, and construct above-grade wall assemblies that are safe, healthy, and durable. After laying out the building science principles that apply to above-grade assemblies, architectural details and job-site photos are used to drive home high performance in all types of above-grade assemblies: standard two-by-four and two-by-six; deep double-stud; continuous exterior rigid-wrapped exterior walls. Both speakers will focus on continuity of the four control layers in above-grade assemblies: water, air, vapor, and thermal. A final key aspect of this course is tuning above-grade assemblies to the climates we have across the United States, from cold-and-wet to hot-and-dry.

Designed for builders, contractors, code officials, HERS raters, architects, and channel partners, this event will offer one and a half (1.5) health, safety, and wellness (HSW) CE learning unit. If you are looking for AIA/CEU credits please be sure to include your AIA# on the registration page.
