Beginning this season, BldgSciAVL and Green Built Alliance are teaming up quarterly to bring regional experts together with WNC’s design and construction community for practical, demonstration- and technique-focused building science education.

Join us for the first member social + demo event on Thursday, Sept. 24 starting at 5pm to reconnect, network, and talk shop with fellow GBA members and supporters.

SOCIAL + DEMO DETAILS: Window Installation + Air Sealing

Are your window installation and air sealing details as good as they could be?

Through the Green Built Homes inspections process, GBA has noticed opportunities to improve window installation and air sealing, sometimes by correcting an issue and other times by refining the technique. So we’re taking those lessons from the field and turning them into a hands-on learning opportunity.

Join us Thursday, September 24, as Nick Shaw of 475 High Performance Building Supply demonstrates best-practice principles for window installation and air sealing.

• Wondering if your crews or subcontractors are using the best approach?
• Have new hires who could benefit from seeing best practices firsthand?
• Still wondering whether sill back dams are really necessary?

Nick will cover drainage pathways, air sealing, back dams, head flashings, tapes, sealants, and more. You’ll have a chance to see the details up close, ask questions, and pick up techniques you can take straight back to the jobsite.

Bring your friends, colleagues, clients, crews, and fellow building-science enthusiasts. All are welcome!
