I had the pleasure of attending the Toronto Society of Architects- Technical Series: Designing Smart Enclosures webinar with Aaron Waldt from 475 High Performance Building Supply. This fascinating session on building better, more durable enclosures was an eye-opening experience that left me inspired and motivated to bring these insights into my work. 🌟🏠 Here are some key takeaways that really stood out to me: 1. Building Airtightness: The importance of airtight construction can't be overstated. Learning how to apply Passive House principles across different building types was incredibly valuable. 2. Smart Enclosure Technology: We delved into how the Pro Clima Membrane and Tape System, along with the INTELLO PLUS Intelligent Vapour Control Layer, create reliable systems that optimize drying and enhance durability. 3. Real-world Applications: Seeing case studies from modern 2x framing to historic masonry showcased how these technologies are making a difference in diverse construction projects. What really struck me was the idea that building better doesn't have to mean a more difficult process. It's about making smarter choices based on solid building science principles and using the right products and technologies. I'm excited to incorporate these insights into my projects and help create buildings that are better for our health, our planet, and future generations. Proud to share my certificate of participation from this enriching session!
