It is impossible to prevent water v***r's natural tendency to pe*****te building exteriors. If this moisture is left unattended, however, it can cause many serious problems, compromising both structural integrity and sustainability. Maintaining a dry building envelope is crucial for any successful sustainable design project, as doing so has a significant impact on a variety of factors influencing the overall sustainability of a structure.
When trapped inside a wall cavity for an extended period of time, moisture can cause many building materials, such as wood, traditional paper-faced gypsum and steel, to eventually deteriorate or corrode. In addition, wet insulation loses R-Value, which makes the building less energy efficient. The moisture problem that has received the most attention in recent years, however, is the mold growth caused when airborne mold spores make contact with wood- or paper-based materials in the wall assembly. When exposed to moisture for an extended amount of time, wood- and paper-based materials are a prime food source for mold. This mold growth can lower the indoor air quality of a building and have a negative impact on the comfort and respiratory health of occupants.
Fortunately, all of these potential problems can be controlled with proper moisture management strategies. Many of the best such strategies for wall assemblies begin with two high-performance components - fiberglass insulation and a v***r barrier.
