264: How to Control Air

In this third session with Simon Cator from Pro Clima we cover the reasons for and the application of an airtightness system.

As I’ve discussed previously, airtightness is a good thing. This is independent of ventilation, which is also a good thing. The opposite of an airtight building is a leaky one and sometimes this leakiness, which causes infiltration, is confused with ventilation. But infiltration is not ventilation and a leaky building is not a good idea.

Pro Clima’s INTELLO Intelligent Air Barrier is now certified with a BRANZ Appraisal, becoming the first and only intelligent vapour control membrane to do so.
