2024 IECC Commercial Inspection Bootcamp—Air Barriers

Instructor: Andre Jean Description: This class addresses the inspection of commercial air barrier systems, focusing on how air barriers are installed, maintained, and verified in real-world construction environments. Participants will review acceptable air barrier materials, continuity requirements, and integration with adjacent assemblies such as roofs, walls, windows, and foundations. The session emphasizes inspection strategies that reduce subjectivity and improve consistency, particularly at penetrations and transitions. Testing requirements and documentation will be discussed in the context of what inspectors can reasonably verify.
