Behind the Wall: Assemblies and the Energy Code-T1
October 22 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am
Instructor: Joshua Harmon Description: Walls perform so many functions in a building; from providing structural support for the roof, housing openings for windows/doors to light and ventilate the occupied spaces; and overall as the building thermal envelope separating the exterior environment from the interior spaces – this system is intimately aligned with the requirements of the IECC. We are going to discuss the various items found in the IRC that includes fire separation and fire resistant construction, the structural components, and how all of this works together with the energy code to maintain a strong thermal envelope.
