Building Exterior Shell Training - BEST (Oregon)

Oregon CCB Series B Approval Number SRB0017
Oregon CCB Core Course Approval Number BES0009 (2013)

This three hour interactive distance-learning course explains why Oregon has a problem with building envelope or shell failures, the affect of water damage, contractor’s responsibilities and related insurance claims.

The building envelope system is explored including physical components, sources of moisture intrusion and results of building envelope failures. Best practices are then explored, specifically related to the foundation, wall and construction as well as window and door installation. Ventilation system best practices are also explored.

Finally, remedies available to consumers damaged by construction defects, including building envelope failures caused by moisture are discussed.

Upon successful completion of this course participants will be able to:

• Understand the rationale of "BEST"
• Describe the building envelope system and components, sources of moisture intrusion and envelope failures
• Discuss the biology of mold and related health implications
• Explain best practices and causes of building envelope failures regarding foundation, wall, and roof construction; window and door installation, and ventilation systems
• Explore best practices in moisture retarding construction, house wraps and window and door installations.

Discuss remedies available to consumers including warranties, complaints to the CCB, claims against a contractor's commercial general liability (CGL) policy and the arbitration/court process.
