C107 Built-up walls: Thermal and moisture performance 2011

C107 Built-up walls: Thermal and moisture performance 2011Outline: Built up walls are a layered form of facade construction typically comprising a structural back wall and a rainscreen or insulated render cladding. This course discusses various aspects of thermal performance and condensation risk, and identifies key British, European and CWCT standards and guides relevant to these issues. This course has a significant engineering and physics content. Target Audience: This course is aimed at those with an
