IS YOUR HOME SEALED TIGHTLY?
In the quest to improve home performance, there are a variety of different factors that need to be taken into consideration. One that can sometimes go overlooked is the building envelope. Your home’s building envelope is essentially what separates the comfortable, conditioned living space from the outdoors. It should stand to reason, then, that a problem with the building envelope can bring about a wealth of home performance issues.
WHAT MAKES FOR A WELL-DESIGNED BUILDING ENVELOPE?
There are a number of different things that can factor into the overall quality of a home’s building envelope. Design and attention to detail in the construction process are both crucial, but so are air sealing and insulation. Over time, a home’s building envelope can continue to degrade until it begins to cause noticeable problems in regards to energy efficiency.
