Webinar, Airtightness and Vapor Control in CLT Construction, November 19, 12pm EST
Event Description
Energy, Safety, and the Importance of Vapour Drive in Mass Timber Construction with Lueder Herms of Pro Clima
During this FREE hour-long presentation Pro Clima's Global Export Manager and R&D Specialist, Lueder Herms, will share his experience and lessons learned from mass timber projects throughout Europe. The presentation will provide building science and practical design knowledge for achieving long-lasting airtightness, comfort, and moisture control in CLT structures.
Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) use is growing rapidly in Europe, and gaining traction across the US and Canada. While CLT provides many benefits, the panels cannot be relied on to provide airtightness, particularly at the joints or where edges may crack. Lueder Herms, Global Export Manager and R&D Specialist for Pro Clima, shares his experience and lessons learned from mass timber projects throughout Europe and provides building science and practical design knowledge for achieving long lasting airtightness, comfort, and moisture control in CLT structures.
Born in Germany, but active worldwide, Lueder Herms is a global export manager for Pro Clima, world leaders in building airtightness and vapor control. Lueder has grown to manage international sales in more than 40 countries in the 13 years since he started with Pro Clima. He is also active in the research and development of new solutions to achieve durable airtightness in mass timber and masonry buildings. Before his time with Pro Clima he spent 5 years as timber framer and studied civil engineering at the Kiel University of Applied Sciences.
