Airtightness, Moisture & Healthy Homes
Join us for our next Weathertex Wednesday Live Webinar featuring special guest speaker David Drake-Brockman - Technical Innovation Engineer, at pro clima Australia.
A high-performing home is about much more than the external cladding. How the different layers of a wall system work together can have a significant impact on moisture management, airtightness, energy efficiency, durability and ultimately the health and comfort of the people living inside.
With recent NCC changes placing greater emphasis on energy efficiency and condensation management, understanding building science and how materials work together is becoming increasingly important for architects, designers, specifiers and builders. In this practical session, Weathertex and Pro Clima will go beyond the cladding to explore how smarter wall-system design can contribute to healthier, more durable and higher-performing homes.
Together, Weathertex and Pro Clima will discuss:
• What makes a healthy, durable and high-performing wall system
• Airtightness - what it means and why it matters
• Recent NCC changes and what they mean for condensation and moisture management
• Managing moisture, vapour and condensation risk within wall systems
• The importance of vapour-permeable materials and appropriate wall design
• The relationship between airtightness, ventilation, energy efficiency and healthy indoor environments
• Common design and construction mistakes and how they can be avoided
• What architects, designers and specifiers should consider when specifying wall systems and materials
Hosted by Jason O'Hagan, Managing Director of Weathertex, this relaxed conversational webinar will include live audience Q&A.
CPD: Attendees will receive 1 x Informal CPD Point certificate via email following the webinar.
We look forward to having you join us!
Guest Speaker
David is the Technical Innovation Engineer at pro clima, where he draws on both hands-on construction experience and scientific expertise to help shape healthier, more durable buildings. With over a decade in residential construction, Dave has developed a strong appreciation for the realities of site work, sequencing, and the challenges trades face in achieving high-performance outcomes. Seeking to broaden his understanding and apply a more scientific lens to the industry, he undertook a degree in Applied Physics.
Now working at the intersection of theory and practice, Dave is passionate about translating complex building-science principles into practical solutions that improve weathertightness, airtightness, and energy efficiency. His goal is to combine his deep technical knowledge with his construction background to foster innovation in façade systems and building assemblies, ensuring structures are not only robust and efficient but also contribute to healthier indoor environments.
