Summary

Summer Moisture: Problems and Solutions by Doug Horgan

Description

Summer Moisture: Problems and Solutions

What are common summer time moisture issues? What tools are used to evaluate them? And what are the cures—whether the simple fix for the number one most common complaint, or seven figure repairs for complex ones?

A lot of the “building science” information we get was developed from cold-climate research, and the rules that work in wintertime don’t always apply in humid, warm summers. As the climate changes, even parts of New England where air conditioning used to be unheard of are experiencing these conditions.

In this presentation, an experienced hand at troubleshooting shares lessons learned over decades of evaluating, repairing, and most importantly preventing summer time moisture issues. You’ll walk through case studies and get to discover the causes for common symptoms. Profusely illustrated with over 100 photos, and presented in an open discussion style so everyone can contribute.

Doug Horgan has the best job ever: Vice President--Best Practices at BOWA, the Washington DC area’s premier custom and remodeling builder. In this training, quality, and troubleshooting role, Doug’s goal is reducing construction defects through sharing knowledge. Doug’s years of tools-on carpentry, warranty troubleshooting, and instruction experience, along with thousands of photos, are the foundations for visually rich presentations on how to build well and avoid construction problems. Doug is a frequent contributor to the Journal of Light Construction, ProTradeCraft, Fine Homebuilding, and Professional Remodeler and has presented at Remodeling, JLC Live!, NESEA Building Energy, the National Home Performance conference, and local events. Doug is a BPI Building Analyst, LEED AP - Homes, NARI GCP, and NAHB CGP and CGR.
