Course Details

The Science of Building Performance in Housing is a comprehensive whole-house approach using Building Science to identify and resolve the range of problems that are found in our housing rehabilitation projects. Building Science is the collection of scientific knowledge that focuses on the analysis and control of the physical phenomena affecting buildings. To design a housing project that will perform efficiently, you must apply the principals of Building Performance and Building Science to naturally occurring physical phenomena such as:

• the weather (sun, wind, rain, temperature, humidity)
• energy transfer and moisture movement
• soil and ground water conditions
• characteristics of specific building materials
• the human impact on the environment and occupant comfort/health
• energy consumption, environmental controls and building maintenance considerations
