This foundational webinar delves into the importance of building airtightness and how air barriers affect not just air movement but also moisture management. Learn why these materials are essential for energy efficiency, sustainability, and comfort, and gain valuable insights into building code requirements and best practices for air barrier installation.

You might even be surprised by some unconventional examples—could peanut butter be an air barrier?

What You’ll Learn:

– Describe the benefits of air barriers and their impact on energy, moisture, sustainability, and comfort.
– Understand air barriers in relation to the building enclosure.
– List performance requirements for air barrier materials, assemblies, and systems.
– Understand building code requirements and market forces driving energy-efficient buildings.
