Thanks to all who attended the January 31st Workshop titled Building Better Buildings. It is always a pleasure to speak with Building Envelope Chapters across North America and specifically to the Manitoba Chapter because of the long history of energy efficiency interest and initiatives in the province.
I would be interested in any feedback or discussion from the session, specifically, I know I hit pretty hard about the need to respect industry science regarding proper drainage behind stucco facades i.e. two layers of building paper or a drainage space such as offered by the proprietary EFIS systems. What do you think it will take for the housing industry in Winnipeg to adopt the best practices guidelines defined by all manufacturers or stucco related systems and products? Who is up for driving that change?
A PDF of the presentation will be posted shortly.
