Course Description
→ Building enclosures are responsible for controlling heat
flow, air flow, vapor flow and a number of other
elements. In Florida, they are also essential for termite
prevention. This presentation will explore design
considerations associated with wood-frame building
enclosures and the role of control layers in addressing
items such as durability, termite prevention and control,
and thermal continuity.

Controlling Water – Bulk Rain
→ 2 lines of defense:
→ Water resistive barrier
(WRB)
→ Water shedding
surface (WSS)
→ Material choice and
amount of drainage
between WRB and
WSS affect
performance

Air, Vapor, or Water Barrier?
Tyvek
GoreTex
HDPE
→ Air is made up of oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor (water
vapor is the smallest molecule)

Air, Vapor, Water Barriers
→ WRB / AB need to be continuous:
required by code
→ VB doesn’t need to be continuous:
sometimes required by code
→ Membranes can be:
1. Water control
2. Air & water control
3. Air, water & vapor control

→ Code requirement
→ Moisture
→ Air holds moisture that can be
transported and deposited within
assemblies.
→ Energy
→ Unintentional airflow through the
building enclosure can account for
as much as 50% of the space heat
loss/gain in buildings.

28
Conductive Heat Loss Control
→ Insulation between studs is
most common heat control
strategy
→ Need to consider effective R-
values
→ Wood ± R-1 per inch
→ “Continuous insulation” may
be required in some climate
zones per IECC

Insulation Placement
→ Consider effective thermal resistance, vapor diffusion profile,
and relative durability

31
Exterior Insulation Selection (Vapor Control)
→ Rigid exterior foam insulations (XPS, EPS,
Polyiso, closed cell SPF) are vapor impermeable
→ Rules of thumb: Vapor barrier on ‘warm’ side
→ Fibrous insulations (mineral fiber / glass fiber)
are vapor permeable
→ Allows drying to the exterior
→ Often safer in cold and mixed climates
→ Could be coupled with another vapor control
layer if desired

→ Don’t let them get as wet
→ Create air space to promote drying

Details – Continuity of Control Layers
→ In practice, need to evaluate
and design assemblies and
details that are not ‘perfect’
→ Continuity of control layers
within and between
assemblies is critical

Summary
→ Control moisture, air, and heat
→ Best practices:
→ Rainscreen cladding
→ Keep structure warm and dry: control
layers on exterior
→ ‘Less than perfect’ practices:
→ Analyze and understand hygothermal
behavior
→ Provide continuity of control layers
within and between assemblies and
details
