Building enclosures are responsible for controlling heat flow, air flow, vapor flow and a number of other elements. In Florida, they are also essential for termite prevention. This presentation will explore design considerations associated with wood-frame building enclosures and the role of control layers in addressing items such as durability, termite prevention and control, and thermal continuity. Beginning with a review of building enclosure design fundamentals and considerations, it will then focus on best practices for a variety of wood-frame building enclosure assemblies and details. Next, a brief overview of the termites encountered in Florida will be presented, with a focus on prevention and control strategies for multi-family and commercial wood buildings. A combination of initial design strategies to prevent termites from entering structures and proper maintenance programs for surveillance will be reviewed. Finally, the critical detail interfaces between different enclosure assemblies (i.e., walls, roofs, balconies, windows) will be reviewed with a focus on continuity of critical barriers.

CONTENT RATING: 1 (LOW) 5 (HIGH)
