Drerup Building Performance Engineering, PLLC

Over the past 28 years, Mr. Drerup has investigated performance concerns at hundreds of buildings and structures. His work has ranged from single family homes to large building collapses. Mr. Drerup has evaluated damage attributable to earthquakes, blast, impact, fire, water intrusion, corrosion, construction defects, and other factors. He has served as a testifying expert in several cases. Mr. Drerup has also developed and retrofit designs for existing buildings. He has previously worked for two prominent forensic engineering firms and an international structural design firm. In 2014, he established Drerup Building Performance Engineering, PLLC with his partner Alicia Díaz de León, PE, SE, AIA, and continues to collaborate with other consultants and laboratories nationwide to investigate a broad range of issues pertaining to structure, enclosure, and construction materials.

Course Title: High-Performance Building Envelopes: Designing for Energy Efficiency and Durability

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This course examines how building envelopes can be designed and built with a whole building approach to be extraordinarily efficient from roof systems, wall systems, foundations, slabs, floors, and fenestration systems.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to describe the concept of taking on energy efficiency goals through a whole house approach, and they will be able to identify and describe the four critical barriers of wall systems.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to identify the four critical barriers below grade and how they are approached in foundation, slab and floor design.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to describe a building’s fenestration characteristics and how they affect energy efficiency, and they will be able to select energy efficient windows and determine optimal locations for windows and doors.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to discuss energy-efficient strategies for roofing systems, including proper insulation levels, low-slope and steep slope roof design, metal roofs, vegetated roofs and “cool” roofs.
