Architectural Detailing for High Performance and Healthy Buildings 1.0 LU | HSW
Thursday, July 17, 2025 | 2:00-3:00pm EST
DescriptionJoin Emily Mottram, known for her work on the "Pretty Good House" concept, for a session exploring the proper detailing and installation for air, water, and insulation layers within a building. Emily will demonstrate how to begin the design process with the specific climate zone, and then reverse engineer decisions from there. Participants will learn to identify risks associated with poorly executed detailing and explore strategies to enhance air quality and building durability through careful material selection and detailing control layers. By viewing the structure as a whole-building integrated system, this approach highlights a practical framework for designing custom residential homes that prioritizes occupant health, safety, and welfare. Presented in partnership with Custom Residential Architects Network (CRAN®).
