Panelized Construction: From Science-Backed Design to Real-World Performance

What It's About

CertainTeed launched ONE PRECISION ASSEMBLIES (OPA) to help builders overcome current challenges of the construction industry to build more long-lasting, sustainable homes per year. In the session, you will see how the careful design of OPA’s airtight and weatherproofed shell solution yields incredible performance and longevity for residential single-family designs, and how this performance was validated with real world data. 

Join Evan Molony, a building science research engineer for CertainTeed, for an inside look at the performance of wall, floor, and ceiling panels over time. He will walk you through a case study in panelized offsite construction performance validation, exploring the science behind the modeling and measurements. See how his team uses embedded sensors to collect data on water, air, moisture, and thermal energy to measure performance across the lifecycle.
