The Hidden Science Inside Every Building's Walls: Across the Yard with Johns Manville S04EP23

There's a whole system of layers hiding inside every wall, roof, and foundation that most people don't know about. In this episode, Liz sits down with a panel from Johns Manville: Dwight Stone, Building Enclosure Consultant; Jesus Perez Orozco, Specifier Services Representative; and JR Babineau, Sr. Research Manager of Building Sciences in Corporate R&D. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why building envelope design has grown more complex (and what that means for builders and architects). - How infrared imaging and air barrier testing reveal whether a building was put together the way it was designed. - What Canada’s tiered energy code system means for the path to net zero construction. - How modern construction methods like panelization and offsite fabrication are reshaping (not replacing) the materials used inside the wall. - Why there is a growing conversation around passive survivability and resilience (hint: extreme weather). If you care about building science, energy code compliance, construction innovation, and what it really takes to build a durable, efficient building, this conversation is worth your time.
