Building Science 101 with Jesse Clarke, Pro Clima [NCC Series]

Hello! This is episode 291, and in it, I’m talking with Jesse Clarke, Innovation and R & D Manager at Pro Clima. This episode is part of a special series on the National Construction Code, and NCC 2022. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/291] Pro Clima operates across the globe in more than 40 countries, and enables healthy living conditions by protecting building structures from external and internal moisture damage.  Their extensive range of high-performance weathertightness and airtightness systems help to create draught-free, long lasting and low allergen emitting surroundings for families, schools and businesses. Jesse Clarke is a leader in the industry and has a wealth of experience and knowledge to share about building science, building condensation management, designing and building for your climate, and understanding building systems to enhance thermal performance and moisture management. Many of the NCC2022 updates relate to condensation management and how to create a healthy building.  You’ve heard me mention the ‘leaky building syndrome’ experienced in other locations around the world, such as UK, Canada and New Zealand, and that these NCC2022 updates are moving towards helping Australian buildings avoid the same fate.  You’ll hear Jesse talk about how we’re here, what we’ve done to create this challenge, and what opportunities there are for us to avoid future issues in our projects. And, Jesse does an amazing job of helping us understand more about the terminology and the building science of it all.
