Keys to effective wall insulation

Walls are the most complex component of the building envelope to insulate, air seal, and control moisture.

The keys to an effective wall insulation are:

• Air tight construction –all air leaks sealed in the wall during construction and prior to insulation installation.

• Moisture control – exterior rain drainage system, continuous air barrier, vapor barrier located on the appropriate side of the wall.

• Complete insulation coverage– Optimum Value Engineered framing to maximize insulation coverage, no gaps or compressed insulation in cavity insulation, continuous insulated sheathing.

Air sealing

Air sealing reduces convective heat flow and prevents water vapor in the air from entering the wall. In a 100-square-foot wall, one cup of water will diffuse through
drywall without a vapor barrier in a year, but 50 cups will enter through a ½" round hole. Thus, sealing air leaks is about 50 times as important as installing a vapor barrier.

Moisture control

Air sealing and moisture control make insulation more effective. It is a myth that installing vapor bar riers is the most important step for controlling moisture in
walls. Most moisture enters walls through either a fluid capillary action or as water vapor through air leaks.
