Harnessing the Power of Cool Exterior Walls to Enhance Heat Resilience

Apr 1, 2025   |   3:30 PM – 3:30 PM ET
Extreme heat causes more deaths in the United States than any other natural disaster.

Part 2: Electronic Leak Detection: Lessons Learned from ELD Testing and Continuous Monitoring

Apr 1, 2025   |   3:30 PM – 3:30 PM ET

In this session, we will cover the lessons learned from multiple case studies regarding electronic leak detection (ELD) quality control testing as part of new construction, forensic testing in existing buildings with active leaks, and continuous moisture monitoring for conventional roofing.

Participants will learn about the principles outlined in the ASTM Standard Guide D7877 and ASTM Standard Practice D8231 and will be able to identify common causes for moisture intrusion.
