PROGRAMS AND PRESENTERS
Water Penetration in Stucco and Faux Stone Cladding
Why, what to look for and what to do about it.
(How to report it)
Mark F. Williams & Russell Graham
This session includes classroom training and a presentation/ tour of the Williams Building Diagnostics Laboratory testing and diagnostic facility. At the lab the WBD staff provides hands on training using mocked up sections of walls of various types with embedded moisture sensors. They expose the sections to varying weather simulations to find where and how water penetrates and accumulates in any given wall system. Remedial repair solutions are also investigated and tested the same way. The lab is near the hotel. Transportation will be provided.

He has also presented his "lessons learned" in numerous publications on various construction materials, as well as presentations to ASTM and ASHRAE technical symposia, and to industry gatherings across the country. Mr. Williams also holds several U.S. patents for products to improve the performance of building walls and for related moisture management.

Green Architecture
What is it? How do you inspect it? Where will it go from here?
Charlie Szoradi
