Multifamily projects involve a unique blend of residential and commercial construction requirements. This session will address the specific challenges that designers of these structures face with the building enclosure.
Join us to review how to control layer continuity for a successful and code-compliant design encompassing the roof, walls, and below-grade systems. You'll also:
• Discover strategies for managing water throughout the project, including across the building enclosure, parking structure, and balconies.
• Learn about the material and system properties required to ensure long-term durability and regulatory compliance.
• Find out how to design airtight transitions between systems.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze strategies to provide control layer continuity across the building enclosure.
- Learn how to design robust roof-assembly transitions for code-compliant construction.
- Explore water management strategies for multifamily construction projects.
- Review which material properties to specify for durable building-enclosure assemblies.
