Weatherproofing the Facade – Design Considerations
Presented by Louis Laurita
Understanding that the importance of weatherproof membranes in the external façade goes beyond protecting the building from the external elements. You have to also consider the vapour permeability and design of the building fabric to avoid such risks associated with the health and wellbeing of the occupant. We deep dive into ramifications of proper weatherproofing using flexible or rigid materials that affects the air tightness of buildings. This needs to take into consideration the vapour permeability of the Weather Resistive Barriers (Sarking) so you can mitigate the risk of sick building syndrome.
