A Tool to Assist in the Education and Design Of Durable Envelopes

The moisture durability of a building envelope component can be difficult to predict. It depends on the materials used, the location in the assembly, the macro- and microclimate of the building, the air tightness of the interior environment and construction quality. As building envelopes get tighter and better insulated, moisture management is key to a durable and high-performing wall assembly.
