Durability + Design will present a free webinar, “D+D Specifiers Series Part 2: Air Barriers: Keeping Pace with Changes in the Wind,” scheduled for 11 a.m. EST Wednesday, April 18.
Only an option in the past, air barriers will soon be required on buildings due to building-code changes. Today, air barriers are an essential part of high-performance exterior cladding and they are crucial to preventing the infiltration of unwanted air and the exfiltration of conditioned air.
This second installment of the D+D Specifiers Series will discuss the upcoming building code changes that will affect the use of air barriers, further define air barriers and various types of barriers, and discuss emerging products and issues.
The webinar will also explain the differences between an air barrier and a vapor retarder.
The webinar will be presented by Walter Scarborough (SCI, SCIP AIA), Dallas regional manager for HALL Building Information Group LLC and a registered architect and specifier with more than 30 years of technical experience with a range of building types.
