WUFI on the Side: A Quick Intro to Hygrothermal Modeling of Standard Walls and Why Code Walls With 6 Mil Poly VB May Be the Riskiest for Builders

CRITICAL CANADIAN BUILDING SCIENCE WEBINAR SERIES

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH: ENBRIDGE GAS AND BUILDING KNOWLEDGE CANADA

‍

Join Building Science Expert Trevor Trainor as he presents some simple hygrothermal modeling scenarios for standard walls across various Canadian climate zones. A bit of myth-busting along with some cautionary tales about building-to-minimum-code. A dive into why Poly as a VB (vapour barrier) is a poor choice in many regions of Canada—and the importance of vapour diffusion retarder technologies and products.
