IAQ26
Evidence, Buildings, and Human Impact
2026 Building Science workshop
Date: August 31 – Sept 1 Led by Joseph Lstiburek
Building Science workshop
The workshop is intended to establish the physical realities that underpin IAQ outcomes
including:
- Environmental separation and control layers
- Heat, air, and moisture interactions
- Drying potential and damage functions
- Historical and contemporary building failures in Canada, the United States, New Zealand, and Australia
The intent of these sessions is not to provide design recipes, but to challenge assumptions and help reset mental models.
