Airtightness for Safe and Natural Buildings
Designing airtightness into the fabric of buildings is one of the most critical components to ensuring energy efficiency and long-lasting performance. The presentation will look at why airtightness is important in natural building, and how it can be done in a way to prevent the possibility of mold growth while improving comfort and operational carbon impact. Lessons from Passive House building will be incorporated with the science of moisture analysis to present practical details and tricks of the trade for natural builders, particularly those building with straw.
