Case studies highlight the pitfalls of inappropriate wall section designs.

This course has no specific prerequisites; however knowledge of psychrometrics is a plus in understanding the physics of vapor migration and condensation

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions at the end of the course to obtain PDH credits.
