The Impact of Permeance on Condensation in Exterior Wall Assemblies

KEYWORDS: condensation / exterior walls / permeance

Credits: 1 AIA/HSW; 0.1 IACET CEU*; 1 IIBEC CEH

This presentation discusses the impact of permeance on condensation in exterior wall assemblies, highlighting the ASTM E96 standard and permeance testing. The presentation also explores the influence of permeance on drying via hygrothermal modeling.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Discuss how vapor permeance is measured using standard test method ASTM E96 and why results obtained from procedure A may not be compared to results obtained from procedure B.
  2. Explain why a highly permeable water-resistive barrier/air barrier is not as effective in a wall assembly if the vapor diffusion is restricted by other materials of the assembly.
  3. Understand that for wall assemblies insulated in the stud space only, using water-resistive barriers/air barriers with vapor permeances lower than 5 Perm or higher than 20 Perm increase the risk of condensation and mold growth.
  4. Describe how for split-insulated wall assemblies, the vapor permeance of the water-resistive barrier/air barrier has little or no impact on the hygrothermal performance of the assembly.
