Air Tightness & Moisture Protection

• Unwanted air infiltration and humidity ingress into the

spaces can cause additional load on the air conditioning
system and a detrimental impact on air quality.

• Buildings must be planned, designed, specified and

constructed with enough detail and quality to ensure air
tightness is maximized.

• Vapor barrier prevents the entry of moisture through the

walls.
