School of Hard Knocks: Controlling Moisture & Humidity in Buildings (Dual)

Training Level: Intermediate
Type: Individual Course

This course shows how dry buildings are healthier and more resilient, comfortable, and energy-efficient than damp or moldy buildings. Dry buildings have better indoor air quality, and also cost less to operate, last longer, and hold less financial and professional risk for their designers and builders, given that moisture problems are the leading cause of claims against errors and omissions insurance of architects, engineers and contractors.

Based on decades of experience of designers, contractors and building owners, this course provides a wealth of lessons learned the hard way about moisture and humidity-related imperatives of design, both architectural and mechanical, and about moisture issues in construction and operation. The result of collaboration between the members of ASHRAE's Technical Committee 1.12 (Moisture Management in Buildings) and the Indoor Environments Division of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, this course uses case histories to illustrate and summarize what works, what doesn't, and why.

This course is AIA and GBCI approved.
