As covered by EDC in the May 2011 article “Opening Windows to Cutting-Edge Education,” the Center for Energy Efficient Design (CEED) opened its doors in November 2010, as the first public school in the U.S. built according to Passive House (or Passivhaus) standards, arguably the world’s highest standards in energy-efficient construction. 

 Air barriers have recently been identified as one of several effective and viable solutions toward better high-performance buildings.  

Cosella-Dörken announces the launch of the new DELTA®-VENT SA vapor permeable, self-adhesive, water-resistive air barrier for commercial and residential use.

 There is growing awareness in the AEC industry of the destructive problems of moisture and air leakage through the building envelope. Building codes have caught up to the findings of building scientists and now require continuous air barriers across the envelope, including at penetrations and openings such as at windows, curtain walls, and doors.  

 Airtight buildings are energy-efficient buildings.
