Overview
This collaborative SAIT/Professional Home Builders Institute (PHBI) training in the building science of moisture control and building durability helps you develop and utilize critical thinking skills for the design, construction, and assessment of wood-frame building envelopes. Through a virtual learning session, you will learn about moisture control principles which you will then apply to a review of the virtual site and the final exam.
Additional building moisture control topics include:
- Controlling moisture accumulation and removal
- Design and construction practices to control moisture in foundations, walls and roofs
- Lot drainage Assessing moisture control strategies
Course disclaimer from Professional Home Builders Institute:
This course was recently updated to move the site visit from an in-person session at an active construction project to a pre-recorded session that allows you to learn anytime, anywhere.
The learning for this course is self-directed and at your own pace. You will be provided with detailed videos and images to help you learn more about moisture control principles and directly apply the theory and knowledge learned during CNST 001 to the simulated site visit.
This course uses the terms “Simulated Site Visit” and “Virtual Site Visit” interchangeably. All videos are prerecorded, and you will be able to access them anytime you wish.
There are no scheduled online instructor-led classes for you to attend.
You are required to complete CNST 001 - prior to registering for this course. If you have completed this requirement at a school other than SAIT, email us your proof of completion documents at least one week before the course starts.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
