Knowledge gained from this program include:

  1. Commissioning buildings, thermal bridging effects, and thermal efficiency of building enclosures;
  2. Building construction and respiratory health effects and enclosure design to avoid risks of mold;
  3. Window technologies for different exposures and climates and window technologies pertaining to blast resistance safety and visual and thermal comfort.
