Topics Covered: „ The drainage plane „ Tightly sealing the building shell „ Mechanical ventilation „ Insulation and foam sealing „ Mechanical systems „ And how they all work together ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Clayton Morris has been involved in the residential building industry for more than eight years.
