With so much focus on improving energy efficiency within homes, this program is a back to basics approach, reviewing building science fundamentals in the residential context. Single family residential design and improvement is both an art and a science. This talk covers the laws governing each of these system dynamics: The flow of heat, the flow of air, and the flow of moisture.
Presented by
Lucas J. Hamilton
Manager, Applied Building Science Saint-Gobain, North America –Building Science Specialist
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the major directional flows of energy and material
- Describe one or more of the problems and solutions that arise in the house-system due to the dynamics of heat
- Describe the ‘art’ and ‘science’ aspects of residential home design
- Describe the basic dynamics of heat flow (residential thermodynamics)
