As building codes change and energy efficiency requirements increase, questions have emerged: What are some best practices for wall construction given the new materials on the market? What configurations can dramatically alter the moisture behavior of walls? The building science experts at Home Innovation Research Labs have just released a new resource to answer these important questions. Come hear about specific building code and design considerations related to vapor retarders, see diagrams of several wall assembly examples; and get recommendations on where each might be most practical.
