4 Course Description Building enclosures are responsible for controlling heat flow, air flow, vapor flow and a number of other elements. Through a combination of building science fundamentals and current research, this presentation will explore design considerations associated with wood-frame building enclosures and the role of control layers. Discussion will focus on best practices for designing durable, energy-efficient enclosures using traditional light wood-frame construction.
5 Learning Objectives Review building science fundamentals and building enclosure design considerations for light wood-frame buildings. Explore the role of control layers in building enclosures for elements such as heat flow, bulk water intrusion and air flow. Discuss best practices for light wood-frame building enclosure design, detailing, and construction techniques. Explore the thermal benefits of utilizing wood-frame construction.

10 The New Way Light & Tight 10 of 63
11 Trends in Building Enclosure Design Trend towards more energy efficiently building enclosures Air barriers now required in 2012 IECC Continuous insulation becoming more common More insulation = less heat flow to dry out moisture Marginal assemblies that worked in the past may no longer work Need to fully understand the science and interaction of design parameters 11 of 63

20 Air Penetration Control Why? 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. 20 of 63
21 Types of Air Barrier Systems Loose Sheet Applied Membrane Taped Joints & Strapping Sealed Gypsum Sheathing Sealant Filler at Joints Liquid Applied Silicone sealants and silicone membrane at Joints Sealed Plywood Sheathing Sealant & Membrane at Joints Sealed Sheathing Membrane at Joints Self-Adhered vapor permeable membrane Plywood sheathing 21 of 63 with taped joints (good tape)

27 Targets for Walls in Comm/Res Buildings Climate Zone IECC 2015 Above Grade Walls: Min. Eff. R-value Steel Wood / / & 4C A/B / Based on Maximum Effective Assembly U-value Tables (C (2012), C (2015)) Residential Building R-values buildings similar or in some cases slightly higher 27 of 63
28 Conductive Heat Loss Control 28 of 63
29 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 29 of 63
30 Framing Effect on R-values Overall Effective R-Value ( o F ft 2 hr/btu) Steel 3 5/8 Stud Wood 2x4 Stud 16 o.c. Wood 2x6 Stud Steel 2x6 Stud Framing Factor % 30 of 63
31 Insulation Placement Consider effective thermal resistance, vapor diffusion profile, and relative durability 31 of 97
32 The Standard Approach The Old Way Assembly ½ gyp 16 o.c. R-20 high density insulation ½ sheathing WRB/furring/cladding Standard framing factor 77% cavity, 23% framing U R of 97
33 Higher R-Values -New Option Option #1 #1 Assembly ½ gyp 16 o.c. R-30 high density insulation ½ sheathing WRB/furring/cladding Standard framing factor 77% cavity, 23% framing U ± R of 97
34 Higher R-Values - Option #2 Assembly ½ gyp 16 o.c. R-21 high density insulation ½ sheathing / WRB 1 insulation (R-4.2 cont.) Furring/cladding Standard framing factor 77% cavity, 23% framing U ± R of 97
35 So, What s the Difference? R-22 R of 97
36 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 Vapor permeance properties of WRB/air barrier membrane is also very important 36 of 97
37 Building Science: Wetting and Drying How can we keep the sheathing and other materials dry? Don t let them get as wet Create air space to promote drying Design for vapor diffusion drying Keep sheathing warm Safe Storage Capacity Wetting Drying 37 of 97
