Exterior Wall Technology & Science Course information
Course Description 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 and 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.
Learning Objectives 1. The learner will explore building code requirements for exterior walls will be covered during the course. 2. The learner will understand the proper use of coating, water repellents and sealants will be discussed during this course. 3. The learner will discuss psychrometrics and moisture movement and why moisture migration is so important in-wall design. The learner will explore building code requirements for exterior walls will be covered during the course 4. The learner will understand proper designs for wall penetrations will be covered, along with problems that are created by poor design details.
