knowledge zone - Dr Antony Pelosi
A FREE lunchtime webinar on B2 (Durability) and G4 (Ventilation) of the NZ Building Code. Learn how moisture, airflow, and detailing affect long-term building performance. Includes live Q&A. Earn CPD & LBP points.
Description
Is your building built to last or just built to code?
In this practical lunchtime webinar, Antony Pelosi explores how Clause B2 (Durability) interacts with G4 (Ventilation), and why you can’t have long-term performance without good airflow management. Learn how moisture movement, material selection, and design detailing all contribute to durability — and how smart ventilation strategies help protect what you’ve designed.
WHAT WE WILL TALK ABOUT:
-
How ventilation impacts material durability and internal moisture control
-
The risk of unseen decay caused by poor airflow design
-
Design choices that reduce maintenance and prolong material lifespan
-
AI?
-
Using tools like PHPP and WUFI to model and reduce risk
-
Project examples showing how better ventilation improved durability
We’ll wrap up with a hosted Q&A, giving you the chance to dig into key takeaways and clarify your own projects.
