Real-world building science.
Real-world building science.
Cold beer. No fluff.
Pull up a stool, grab a drink and some food, and get straight answers from Dr. John Straube (RDH Building Science | University of Waterloo).
This in‑person series is built for residential builders and contractors who want practical solutions they can use right now—not theory, not lectures that never make it back to the site.
In a relaxed, discussion‑driven setting, John breaks down what actually matters when it comes to continuous enclosure, durability, and performance—using real assemblies, hands‑on prototypes, and real questions from the room.
Heads up: seats are literally limited. There are only so many barstools - when they’re gone, they’re gone.
Register today before they’re taken.
What we’ll dig into:
- Why continuous enclosure is quickly becoming non‑negotiable in residential builds
- The most common moisture and performance issues hiding in walls, roofs, and transitions
- How to simplify enclosure choices without sacrificing comfort or durability
- What upcoming code changes are signaling—and how to stay ahead of them
- Lessons from real projects, real mistakes, and real fixes
This is building science the way builders want it: clear, credible, and immediately useful.
Expect open conversation, peer learning, and ideas you’ll be thinking about on your next site visit—followed by time to connect with fellow builders (beer in hand).
