Four Keys to a High-Performance Building Envelope #TBT An oldie but a goodie, showing how we designed and built the perfect wall, floor, and roof, and more importantly, how we connected them to make a perfect enclosure in Atlanta, GA. With a blower door result: 0.05 ach50, we knew that at least our air barrier was perfect. #buildingscience #building #highperformance #perfectwall #design #construction #longliveourbuildings #controllayers #architecture

I forgot about the 0.05! Bravo! That is perfect!

I’d love to see how you detail window installation. I’ve seen so many poorly installed windows even in commercial construction. HVAC is always the canary in the mineshaft. “You undersized the heating at this window!” I didn’t size the heating for the great outdoors when I can feel the wind coming through the window perimeter.
