Prefabrication Trends: Factory Applied Air Barriers


About This Program

Prefabrication avoids many of the complications and costs of onsite construction. Factory application of air barriers increases the range of benefits to be harvested from this delivery method.

Session Takeaways

  • Identify the impact air barriers have on a building's energy efficiency, indoor air quality, moisture vapor mitigation, and operating costs
  • Understand how to overcome the obstacles surrounding air barrier installations
  • Compare technologies and their relative impact on performance testing
  • Review the necessary connectivity and transitions occurring on projects and the critical role they play in the performance of the building enclosure
