Summary
A comprehensive professional guide focused on the building envelope. The author establishes two foundational concepts: the 90%/1% principle, which asserts that most leaks occur at minute transition points, and the 99% principle, which attributes nearly all failures to installation errors rather than material defects. Detailed chapters outline strategies f…

A comprehensive professional guide focused on the building envelope. The author establishes two foundational concepts: the 90%/1% principle, which asserts that most leaks occur at minute transition points, and the 99% principle, which attributes nearly all failures to installation errors rather than material defects. Detailed chapters outline strategies for below-grade and above-grade waterproofing, specifically addressing forces like hydrostatic pressure and capillary action. The text further e
