Master the transition
Thursday, July 10 | 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT | 60 MINS
Windows, doors, and continuous insulation
Exterior insulation adds performance but also complexity. Join the next Roundtable to solve the challenge of detailing windows and doors in the building envelope.
Nail the install details that define your exterior ci wall
Your exterior ci assembly will reduce thermal bridging to support better energy efficiency and prevent moisture from forming in the wall. But windows and doors and other penetrations–if not sealed properly–can make the enclosure vulnerable and create problems with air sealing and drainage.
Our latest Roundtable, “Master the transition: Windows, doors, and continuous insulation,” will zero in on those critical installation details that can make-or-break your exterior ci wall assembly.
Learn from our panelists who will share practical tips from their years of experience on the job. Certified Passive House tradesperson and R‑Class Sweepstakes winner Randy Rand joins Roundtable co-host and building science pro Randy Williams to discuss what you need to know to ensure your ci assembly performs as it should.
What you’ll learn:
Understand the evolution of exterior wall design and why codes are moving towards requiring insulation on the outside of the wall
Appreciate the benefits of a continuous strategy and the importance of air and water sealing
Identify common penetrations, including windows, doors, electrical, deck brackets, and recognize the risk created by these vulnerable areas when not properly sealed
Step-by-step guidance on how to property detail a window when using ci
Recognize when to use a window buck and how to install it
Learn how to ensure continuous water and air management to provide a good drainage plane
This is a session you won’t want to miss. You’ll walk away with practical knowledge you can start applying immediately.
