Murphy’s Law: Unintended Consequences in Building Envelope Design and Construction

Unintended Consequences? Murphy’s Law takes no prisoners particularly with the building envelope.

In this seminar, the speakers will examine problems with rules, materials, methods, and execution including the typical (and annoying) counter-intuitive outcomes that seem to simply defy common sense. They will look at some new approaches to the building envelope and participants will learn where and when to place some caution flags in the design, construction, and operation of the building envelope.
