Understanding the impact of fasteners penetrating through the control layers responsible for keeping the building dry and comfortable is critical to long-term sustainability both in terms of durability and energy performance.
The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance has updated a specification establishing the requirements for field test specimens, apparatus, sampling, test procedures and test reports to be used in verifying the air infiltration resistance performance and/or water penetration resistance performance of newly installed fenestration products.
Building science and construction (methods/types) come together in cold storage buildings. The unique idea of an “always cold” interior pushes the discussion about vapor drive and air intrusion of the enclosure of a cold storage building to a higher level.

Air within the envelope of a building is subject to air infiltration, exfiltration and the three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation
What is an FM Approvals wind test, and what do the various wind uplift ratings mean? This question is frequently asked, but often answered incorrectly.
