About

If you have ever asked yourself any of the following questions, you are in the right place.

  • What is the difference between an air barrier and a vapor barrier?
  • Is a window wall the same as a curtain wall?
  • How do I prevent my building from leaking?
  • Where can I find reliable architectural details?
  • What is enclosure commissioning, and do I need it?
  • What type of roofing system is the best?
  • Where can I learn about building science (for free)?

Our goal is to:

Give you the information you need in a format you want to build on the experience you have.

I believe you must improve your understanding of Building Science and Building Enclosure Design if you are to remain relevant in today’s building industry.

How can you find the time to do this while doing everything else you are already doing… working long hours… personal obligations… in lockdown?

You can sift through magazines, sit through lunch and learns or perhaps spend hours looking at manufacturer’s websites.

Instead, subscribe to Building Enclosure Daily (it’s free) and become a better Enclosurist* today.

*An Enclosurist is anybody who is primarily and professionally involved in the design, evaluation, construction, maintenance, or commissioning of building enclosures. Enclosurists come in all flavors, shapes, and sizes.
