Cup O’ Joe Special Session: Moisture Happens: Controlling Risk in Hybrid Insulation Assemblies

Thursday, September 17, 8:00 – 9:30 am

Garden Court, Renaissance Dallas Addison Hotel

Dr. Joe Lstiburek, one of the most respected voices in building science, delivers practical guidance, real-world detail, and code-driven insight on one of the most critical risk areas in modern construction: condensation control in insulation assemblies, so you will gain a clear understanding of how and why condensation failures occur, and how to avoid costly liabilities through proper design and installation. Cup O’ Joe will dive deeply into hybrid insulation systems that combine air-permeable and air-impermeable insulation, with a focus on airflow reduction. Emphasis will be placed on explaining how to meet building-code requirements for R-value, air control, and v***r management when integrating air-impermeable insulation with air-permeable insulation.

Breakfast is included!
