Have you heard the term "Building Envelope"?
A building envelope consists of the entire system of building materials and design elements that control the air movements, water v***r movement, and temperature of a given structure. The temperature inside a building, the moisture coming into and out of the building, and the movement of air is all controlled by the building envelope. Generally speaking, a building envelope is the exterior shell of a given structure (i.e. exterior walls, roof, and floor). In order to achieve a more healthy, comfortable and stable indoor climate, the building’s insulation, as well as the moisture and air barrier need to work together to maintain a more consistent, more comfortable, and healthier interior environment. Numerous cutting-edge materials and construction practices are being utilized to extend the sustainability and service life of commercial and residential structures.
