RDH Building Science – Considering Carbon in the Design of Building Enclosures
Many of our local communities urgently need homes that are more resilient to the effects of climate change such as frequent wildfires, floods, and heat waves. In this presentation, Graham Finch will dissect the building enclosure of a typical new wood-frame home to help builders understand the interplay of fundamental requirements like heat, air, vapor, and water control along with growing considerations for embodied carbon, resilience to wildfires and water, and material availability. This presentation will cover the building enclosure design and material selection from below-grade floors and walls to above-grade walls and roof assemblies.
