'Plugging the gaps' Understanding comfort & condensation

When:  May 15, 2024 from 17:00 to 19:00 (ET)
PLEASE NOTE: DATE CHANGE Back by popular demand! Dr. Mark Dewsbury of UTAS and Dr. Steve Watson of RED Sustainability will deliver a 5 session-intensive Masterclass series to build on the existing knowledge base of Architects, relating to the complications and solutions for preventing condensation in the Tasmanian context while improving the quality and performance of buildings. The first of the series is a lecture style event and will provide a comprehensive overview of the topics to be covered in further depth in the round table discussions including air, thermal bridging and vapour control and will refer to case study examples. Over the following 4 sessions, practitioners will be involved in round table discussions after a short presentation on one topic. A case study may be referred to with the opportunity to break down the design and detailing related to the topic, to improve participant understanding. The Masterclasses will run for 2 hours with a first half presentation of the topic and case study followed by case study discussion and general questions. The sessions will have a tea/snack break. The numbers for the 4 following sessions will be capped for the round table discussions.
