only an air barrier prevents airflow (and the moisture attached to it) into the envelope. Airflow contains50 to 100 timesmore water than that carried by vapor diffusion, emphasizing a home’s building envelope’s need for a high-quality air barrier and systems,...
Answer: one option is to insulate the floor above the crawl area with a vapor barrier on the warm side of the insulation (over the joists) and to leave the crawl space vented in all but the coldest weather, perhaps using thermally operated foundation vents (1980's convention). ...
The problem occurs with a vapor barrier when it prevents drying to the drier space. In a building with air conditioning during hot humid weather, the drier space is indoors. The humid air is outdoors. The wrong place to put a vapor barrier is on the inside because any humid air that ...
Self adhering weather resistant vapor permeable air barrier membrane with rain plane matrixA building wrap membrane comprising a sheet of spunbonded polypropylene fabric member with integral pressure sensitive permeable adhesive coated on the back of the member and a drainage matrix secured to the front...
Ability to create “nano”-thin barrier films (50nm+) with low stress (room temperature process) Lower cost: due to fast deposition times (accelerated by RF field) and relatively low cost/low use precursor materials No need for masking/demasking to prevent coating on non-target part areas:...
The ASM anticyclone is known to be strongly enriched in water vapor (among other tropospheric trace gases and aerosols) due to the coupling of deep convection and horizontal confinement by the anticyclonic winds, which act as a transport barrier (e.g., Park et al., 2007; Randel & Park, ...
In a first embodiment, a gas-impermeable vapor barrier inner layer of a cold weather suit prevents condensation of body moisture in outer layers, thus preventing degradation of outer-layer insulating value. Body moisture vapor is collected by a network of tubes inside the inner layer, and fed ...

atmospheric conditions, such as pressure and water vapor content [28,42]. Despite the removal of the topography effect in GNSS processing, there was a significant northeastward movement of water vapor along the southwestern coast of Korea (Figure 14b) (for Case 2). Cross-barrier, southwesterly...
