Lessons Learned for Exterior Insulation Finish Systems
As trained architects and engineers, we are privileged to have access to building performance failures of all types on a daily basis. Certainly, the presence and infiltration of water, in any of its many forms — such as moisture, precipitation, vapor, and humidity — are responsible for the vast majority of building performance failures. During the course of our presentation, we will use a building system failure that showcases many common deficiencies that cause damage. This case study concerns an Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) but the problems also occur in many other types of envelope systems.
