8-lecture module designed to create the foundational understanding of the complexity and importance of Thermodynamics and Hydrodynamics in wood buildings. Significantly increased energy efficiency requirements and an increasing demand for taller and larger wood buildings will change the methods of construction over the next few years and prefabrication will alter the envelope component assemblies. The material is therefore tailored to focus on thermally high performing envelope assemblies, sufficient air tightness, and modern manufacturing methods such as prefabrication. The module is equally focused on NBCC division 5 and 9. Includes slide deck, lecture notes, and sample questions.
