Virtually every aspect of today’s residential building involves the application of sophisticated building science to achieve better performing homes that are durable, energy-efficient, cost-effective and code compliant. This current era of building science-driven innovation can also usher in some uncertainty as to which product and material selections will help achieve high-performance homes without compromising jobsite efficiency and profitability.
A high-performance home is greater than the sum of its parts. Simply selecting category leading products will not automatically achieve the desired end product. In today’s sophisticated building environment, it remains critical for builders to avoid product interactions that can negatively impact the performance of other materials in the assembly.
