Building Performance is a combination of design, execution and building science knowledge . . .
. . . it goes beyond minimum building code requirements,
. . . it is affordable and results in a lasting, efficient, comfortable structure.
Energy Efficiency
increases moisture problems
Why?
Why?To prevent moisture from accumulating and allowing fungal growth, it must be allowed to dry
Drying is best provided by heat and air
Energy efficient buildings have reduced heat loss and are built more air tight
Moisture Management
"Except for structural errors, about 90 percent of all building construction problems are associated with water in some way." (ASTM, 1982)
