Following are a number of technical papers that Certified EDI Members have found useful. Some documents (e.g., Specifications for Cleaning EIFS) are produced by EDI while others are documents published by others. Some are older historical documents that provide an understanding of how building envelope requirements have evolved. These documents are provided as a service to our members; however, it is up to the member to determine if you agree with the information in the document and if the document applies to your project.
