Building Science Fundamentals | April 17-18, 2019 | Denver, CO is SOLD OUT!
Building Science Fundamentals is a two-day, $895.00 seminar that teaches the basic knowledge needed to design and build durable, energy efficient, affordable and healthy buildings.
Dr. Joseph Lstiburek will discuss building science principles (such as the control of heat, air and moisture and IAQ) and show you how to apply them to low-energy enclosure design, advanced HVAC systems, forensic investigations, and the repair and retrofit of existing buildings.
The Fundamentals class has been attended by over 1500 builders, architects, engineers, building science consultants, building code officials, facility managers, building product manufacturers and government officials.
The fee includes breakfast and lunch but does not include travel or accommodations. There is a 5% cancellation fee that we apply to refunds by credit card.

THE CRAWFORD HOTEL There is a direct train connection from the Denver Airport to Union Station. The Crawford Hotel is part of the Union Station complex. Out of town guests who fly into Denver do not need to rent a car. The train station is right under the Denver Airport main terminal building. Faster than a limo. It is an amazing experience. No kidding. Guests who drive into Denver and do not stay the night should park at one of the commuter train stations and also take a commuter train to Union Station. There is valet parking at Union Station - but it is expensive. There is a parking garage one block away with reasonable daily and overnight rates. This is in the LoDo section of town. Cool. Hip. Groovy (word for us old folks). Restaurants, music, bars, shopping all right there. |
