Closing the gap: Leveraging cladding attachments to deliver high-performance exterior wall assemblies

Webinar

Jurisdictions across North America continue to transition beyond ASHRAE standards for exterior wall assemblies, instead adopting a more comprehensive building energy performance standard (BEPS) approach to envelope design.

This shift brings advantages like increased design flexibility and reduced operating costs, but it also calls for a rethinking of how these wall assemblies are constructed. Instead of relying on traditional line-by-line methods, the performance of individual components must be considered alongside their overall impact on the entire high-performance exterior walls assembly.

This webinar will explore the role of thermal bridging in meeting new BEPS, as well as ASHRAE standards. It will cover common insulation methods – including interior, split, and exterior applications – and present strategies to minimize thermal bridging through different cladding attachments. The session will conclude with real-world case studies that highlight the importance of an integrated approach to component performance in achieving optimal results.
