Description

GOT BUILDING SCIENCE?

Join us for a practical, real-world look at building science and how it applies to the jobsites — from insulation and air sealing to moisture control and overall building performance.

Lead Moderator: Matt Gilles, Louisville Insulation — The Foam Gnomes
Special Guest: David Clevenger, Building Performance Group

Topics will include:

  • Why air sealing matters and where buildings commonly leak
  • Insulation installation and the difference between R-value and actual building performance
  • Moisture, humidity, and the importance of controlling air movement
  • Common problem areas such as band boards, penetrations, transitions, and roof assemblies
  • Where and when to use open-cell vs. closed-cell spray foam
  • Real-world examples, demonstrations, and lessons learned from the field
  • GIVEAWAYS!

The goal is to make building science easy to understand, practical, and useful on the jobsite.
