IIBEC – Canadian Prairies is hosting a Lunch ‘n Learn talk on “Basic Wall Systems and their Moisture Control Mechanisms”.

Join us for an online talk, Water getting into the wrong places is a significant issue with our building enclosures. In order to understand how to prevent water from getting into the wrong places in our walls, we must first understand how a wall controls moisture. Through this presentation, we will discuss the basic wall systems, including Face Sealed Systems, Drained/Screened Systems and Mass Systems and how they control moisture.
