This course will focus on field performance testing of building envelope systems.  We will discuss traditional methods used, timing of field testing, quality control testing as part of a comprehensive envelope quality control program, and dynamic water testing as a tool for evaluating especially evaluating complex façade systems.

Learning Objectives:

1. Gain a basic understanding of field testing of fenestration and building envelope systems.

2. Discover when field testing should be conducted.

3. Recognize industry test specifications and methods used during field tests.

4. Understand how to specify performance criteria for field tests.
