From The Build Show.
Understanding the concept of a continuous air barrier is crucial for building airtight, comfortable, and durable homes. Architect Steve Bazec emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between inside and outside when it comes to maintaining the air barrier’s continuity. By building the "red box" or the air barrier first and then adding to it on the outside, builders can ensure airtightness and control condensing surfaces within the walls. This simple concept of building outside the red line can lead to better air tightness numbers, comfort, and moisture control in the building. It’s all about building science and understanding the difference between inside and outside to create a truly efficient and durable home.
