About This Program

How do we give air barriers a chance of success? One of the risk management strategies is to require a robust quality assurance program in the specifications that require certified contractors, trained and certified installers, evaluated materials, and on-site 3rd party audits. 

This presentation will discuss the role of the quality assurance audits, point out what to look for when doing site observation/quality control, and provide real life examples that can help you identify installation issues on your project, what caused them, and what corrective action can be taken.
