Building Science and the Physics of Building Enclosure Performance

Editor(s): Daniel J. Lemieux, Jennifer Keegan

Get 20 peer-reviewed papers from international building experts from both the public and private sectors.

This book includes the latest research on building science and the physics of building enclosure and whole-building performance, including testing and assessment of building envelope heat, air, and moisture transfer, energy use, and our environment. Learn more about:

– energy modeling
– human comfort and productivity in built environments
– building enclosure codes and standards
– material selection for climate-specific durability and performance
– adaptive reuse and conservation in truly sustainable design

The papers featured were presented at the first joint symposium of ASTM International Committees D08 on Roofing and Waterproofing and E06 on Performance of Buildings held in 2018.
