Many existing homes and buildings are currently being retrofitted with insulation due to increasing energy codes and the demand for greater thermal comfort. This shift is driving the market toward more energy-efficient buildings with higher R-values. However, it's important to recognize that adding insulation alters the moisture balance within a building. If a house or building is insulated haphazardly, it can lead to rapid deterioration of the structure. There are several methods for insulating an older home or building, but factors such as existing conditions, historical value, logistical constraints, and budget can significantly influence which strategies are feasible. In this video, we're talking about how we're using smart vapor retarder membranes and spray-applied air barriers in insulation retrofits to address moisture issues like condensation for a wide range of different building conditions and applications.
