Building products and systems: the good, the bad, the ugly

DESCRIPTION

New building products and systems crop up like both sturdy trees and annoying weeds. Sometimes it is not so easy to tell the difference. Peter has been evaluating building products and systems for more than 30 years. He will lay out a "protocol" for evaluating building materials and then apply that lens to new products and even his Wingnut testing. (Webinar recorded March 10, 2020.)

AS A RESULT OF THIS WEBINAR, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:

1. Define what makes a building product or system high performance.
2. Recognize a wide range of building technologies.
3. Identify new products based on their performance benefits as well as cost relative to business-as-usual conventional products and systems.
4. Repeat the role that quality and installation play in evaluating building products and systems.
