Course Title: How to Identify and Mitigate Moisture Intrusion in Structures: Case Studies

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This course examines case studies of structures damaged by water intrusion. Three cases involve three different causes: design errors, site preparation errors, and degradation of materials. Strategies to mitigate these errors are explored.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to explain how design errors, construction errors, and deferred maintenance in structures can result in moisture finding ways into buildings.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to explain how faulty site preparation, poor construction layout problem areas in the building envelop can result in moisture intrusion.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to explain how building material degradation can allow moisture to enter buildings and lead to mold and poor indoor air quality.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to evaluate and determine appropriate mitigation strategies to prevent and remedy moisture intrusion issues in structures for the health and safety of occupants and users.

LUs: 2.0                                                                                             LU Type: LU|HSWs.
