Presented by Andre Turrin, Technical Director-DuRock, EIFS Council of Canada Board of Directors
This Presentation will:
- Address the four principal aspects of Environmental Separation that are applicable to EIFS: Protection from Precipitation; Heat Transfer; Air Leakage; and Vapour Diffusion.
- Delve into the Fire Protection Articles of the National Building Code of Canada that apply to EIFS, most notably those involving Non-Combustible Construction, Spatial Separation, and Exposure Protection.
- Discuss designing and detailing considerations with special attention to interfaces with other building elements, termination points, expansion joints, and drainage. The presentation wraps up with an outline of the EQI EIFS Quality Assurance Program (QAP), which is an initiative of the EIFS Council of Canada (ECC).
Learning Objectives:
- Attendees will acquire an understanding of EIFS as a viable option to other cladding systems.
- Attendees will learn the value of placing the primary resistance to heat transfer, air leakage, and condensation control outboard of the structure.
- Attendees will understand how EIFS meets the fire protection objectives of the model building code. The three-dimensional colour illustrations enable attendees to visualize how these systems can be integrated into their designs.
- Attendees will gain an appreciation for the various industry initiatives undertaken by the ECC on behalf of the industry.
