This two-day course provides basic exterior wall technology and terminology that will be used as the fundamental base for future exterior wall course offerings. The course covers a broad range of topics, including types and functions of exterior walls, psychrometrics and moisture movement, design objectives, building code requirements, wall penetrations, materials, coatings and water repellants, and sealants.
This broad course is aimed at those preparing to expand their knowledge into exterior walls and at those already practicing in this area who want to further develop their knowledge in exterior wall technology. Exterior Wall Technology and Science will also serve as a good review course for those interested in taking the Registered Exterior Wall Consultant exam.
