Sink or Swim: Effective Natatorium Envelope Design Thru Case Study
Tuesday May 6, 11:15am – 12:15pm
Track 2
Participants will develop a comprehensive understanding of the potential risks involved in designing roof and wall assemblies over pools and other corrosive environments. The session will cover effective design strategies to mitigate moisture damage by managing air, temperature, and vapor control. Key roof assembly elements—such as metal decking, fasteners, air/vapor barriers, and insulation—will be discussed in detail. Finally, these principles will be applied in a case study, covering the full project lifecycle from concept and design to application, inspections, and handover.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain how moisture intrudes and affects roof/wall assemblies over pools and caustic environments.
- Summarize the typical materials of construction, and advantages associated with material selection in roof and wall assemblies.
- Identify the functional performance-based characteristics of a high-performance enclosure system.
- Analyze various preferred natatorium roof/wall assembly details and applications in a case study.
