Abstract:
Describes how one simple way of sealing the building envelope to eliminate air and moisture seepage is by putting the insulation and the air/vapour barrier on the outside of the house's frame, minimising penetrations that cause holes and thermal bridging. The method uses the Pressure Equalised Rain Screen Insulated Structure Technique (PERSIST).
