Course Description

Today’s buildings continue to push the envelope of architectural design, energy efficiency, construction time lines and cost reductions forcing building materials and application techniques to evolve. The evolution of products and applications to waterproof the entire building envelope (vertical and horizontal) throughout the variety of construction materials has created a blend between established and newly developed waterproofing technologies. These blended technologies have the single purpose to all integrate and create a continuous system protecting the building from moisture and performing harmoniously. This presentation helps identify the challenges and opportunities to build an integrated waterproofing system addressing all six sides of the building envelope. While each type of installation will be reviewed separately, the platform will be set for successful integration at all of the transitions and changes within the building by the proper identification and specification of compatible products and materials.

Learning Objectives:

1. Put the science behind positive side waterproofing to use in effective planning
2. Reinforce available technologies for above and below grade applications of waterproofing as well as performance based wall systems
3. Understand the science behind performance-based wall systems
4. Provide continuity between wall and waterproofing systems through proper product selection and detailing
