“The Essential Role of Air Barriers in Building Performance
and Durability”

Description: Air barriers resist air movement between a
conditioned structure’s interior and exterior, saving energy and
reducing costs by easing the demands on the heating and cooling
systems of a building. Additionally, air barriers control
condensation within wall cavities by preventing the free movement
of moisture-laden air, improving occupant comfort, and reducing
the risk of mold growth and material degradation. Air barriers also
control the movement of liquid water through the building
envelope. If there is no opening through which air can pass, water
will not pass either. In practice, an air barrier is not just one
product. Many materials can restrict air movement. However, a
building envelope comprises many components, including
cladding, air and water-resistive barriers, windows, doors,
flashing, and sealants. The interfaces between these components
are critical and largely determine if the final assembly of products
provides an effective air barrier system.
