SUMMARY:Can You Spot the Failure Before It’s Built? The Building Science Challenge.
DESCRIPTION:Most building failures don’t begin with poor construction—they begin with design decisions made months earlier.\nIn this interactive session\, attendees become building science detectives. Using photographs\, plans\, wall sections\, and details from real kitchen and bathroom projects\, participants will examine each assembly and decide: Will this succeed\, or will it fail?\nAudience members will vote before the answers are revealed\, then explore the building science behind each outcome. Every example becomes an opportunity to understand how moisture\, air movement\, vapor\, heat\, ventilation\, and material selection influence durability\, indoor air quality\, comfort\, and long-term performance.\nRather than focusing on products or code requirements\, this session teaches attendees how to think from first principles—recognizing hidden risks before construction begins and making better design decisions regardless of budget or product selection.\nParticipants will leave with a practical framework for evaluating kitchen and bathroom details through the lens of building science\, helping them create spaces that are not only beautiful but healthier\, more resilient\, and built to last.
