As the demand for highly energy efficient and durable buildings continues to increase, so does the requirement for wall systems performance which entails proper building enclosure design, material selection, and component detailing. One of the key aspects of achieving a highly efficient and durable building is the ability to protect the building from unwanted air and water infiltration, which would include the use of a complete air barrier system.
