PPSI’s 2012 AIA-accredited continuing educational Building Enclosure Series is designed to educate the AEC community on the critical design and construction fundamentals of exterior enclosure performance and the movement of water, air, heat, and vapor through the building envelope. Particular focus is given to typical assemblies within the enclosure such as foundation waterproofing, exterior walls, rainscreen facades, expansion and control joints, green roofs, unit masonry and masonry restoration, as well as innovations in building technologies and new code advancements.
All architects, engineers and contractors with interest in the building envelope are invited to join us for this free 1 hour AIA/CEU accredited lunch time presentation.
