This presentation discusses how to detect and avoid common failures in material specification and installation. By understanding the importance of moisture management, buildings can protect long-term occupant health, structural durability, and reduce operation costs.

Learning Objectives:

• Define moisture management and discuss its importance to occupant health, building durability, and lower costs

• Describe the forms of moisture and how it moves in and around the exterior wall

• Identify the building envelope materials that contribute to effective moisture management in exterior walls, and restate the applicable testing and standards

• Detect and avoid common failures in material selection and installation, and describe proper methods for both.
