How can
Carlisle’s Air Barrier Technology save on energy cost?
Carlisle’s membrane air barriers, CCW-705 self-adhering and Barriseal fluid-applied,
provide air tight wall construction that meet or exceed the air leakage target indicated
in a study conducted by the National Institute of Standards (NIST). Also, the CCW
membrane air barriers are completely water and vapor proof. Moisture management,
a HUGE issue, was not addressed in the NIST report. Back
|
|
|
What is
an “air barrier”?
An air barrier is a material or an interconnected assembly of materials that retard
the passage of air. An air barrier may or may not be vapor permeable. According
to the MA energy code, an “air barrier” material must retard the passage of air
similar to ½” thick drywall or better. Many materials qualify as “air barriers”.
In practice, the tricky part of properly installing a complete air barrier on or
within the building envelope is continuity and durability. If the air barrier materials
are not continuous, or their junctions are not durable for the life of the building,
then the building has no air barrier. CCW membrane air barriers meet the requirement
of providing a true air barrier assembly over the building envelope, as they are
fully adhered and air tight over the walls, including penetrations and joints. CCW
membrane air barriers also maintain continuity over all six sides of the building
by tying into the roof and foundation with durable, flexible and airtight overlaps.
Back
|
|
|
Can CCW-705
or Barriseal Membrane Air Barriers Save Energy?
Yes. Carlisle’s membrane air barriers, CCW-705 self-adhering and Barriseal fluid-applied,
provide air tight wall construction meeting or exceeding the reduced air leakage
target indicated in a recently-released report by the National Institute of Standards
(NIST) entitled “Investigation of the Impact of Commercial Building Envelope Airtightness
on HVAC Energy Use”. To view this report, go to
http://fire.nist.gov/nist.pdf For some time, the U.S. Department of Energy
has attributed some 40% of annual HVAC energy use in typical construction to air
leakage. The aforementioned report by the (NIST) confirms this hypothesis. In this
NIST report, different types of commercial buildings throughout the United States
were studied. A considerable amount of air leakage and energy consumption data was
compiled. Using conventional ASHRAE calculations for energy consumption in HVAC
operations, differences in energy usage were determined as a result of reduction
in building air leakage. The reduced air leakage numbers in this report correspond
to easily-attainable building air tightness where an air barrier is used. The results
indicate significant energy savings as a result of tightening up the building enclosure,
especially in heating-dominated climates. In the heating-dominated climates, the
payback period for using an air barrier is less than five years. Further tightening
of the building enclosure, which is attainable with a high quality air barrier installation,
pushes the annual energy savings in heating-dominated climates to over 40%!

Won’t
an air barrier keep the building from “breathing”, thereby causing mold and sick
building syndrome?
A building’s occupants do indeed require fresh air for health and well-being. The
best way to provide fresh air to the occupants is the use of the ventilation system,
which is already defined by ASHRAE code. Some buildings also have operable windows,
which can be opened during fair weather. A building should not “breathe” through
uncontrolled air leakage. Uncontrolled leakage of air across the building envelope
often causes a number of serious problems, including…● Occupant discomfort
from drafts and cold/hot spots ● Unwanted transfer of odors or contaminants
from one part of the building to another ● Prevention of effective function
of the HVAC system ● Increase in energy costs ● Condensation within
the building envelope, which can cause damage to the building components and MOLD!
So, the building “breathing” by means of air leakage generally does more harm than
good. A properly-installed air barrier, such as CCW-705 self-adhering or Barriseal
fluid-applied, makes a more comfortable, efficient and long-lasting building. Back
|
|
|
What perm
rating should an air barrier have?
Air barriers are often confused with vapor retarders. Perm ratings are attributed
to vapor retarders, not air barriers. An air barrier may or may not be vapor permeable.
An air barrier’s performance is measured in air leakage, not perms. Air leakage
units are typically given in CFM/ft2 or L/s*m2 at a given pressure differential.
According to the Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA) an air barrier material
must provide an air leakage rate of less than 0.02 L/s*m2 at 75 Pa pressure difference.
CCW-705 self-adhering and Barriseal fluid-applied membrane air barriers meet this
performance criterion when applied according Manufacturer’s instructions.
Back
|
|
|
Are CCW-705
and Barriseal air barriers, vapor retarders or both?
CCW-705 self-adhering and Barriseal fluid-applied membrane air barriers provide
both of these functions. In addition, either of these materials provides a highly
effective water resistive barrier and drainage plane. Back
|
|
|
What are
the advantages of placing the air barrier on the exterior side of the back up wall?
This provides the simplest method for placing a continuous air barrier on the wall,
as it follows an uninterrupted path between floors and is easy to tie into the roof
and foundation. The exterior side of the back up wall has relatively few penetrations
and generally remains undisturbed for the life of the building. The back up wall,
which is generally sheathing over studs or CMU, provides a fully-supported and durable
substrate for attachment of an air barrier. It is also protected from exterior exposure
by the cladding. Material placed on the exterior side of the back up wall can also
provide the function of a vapor retarder, water resistive barrier and drainage plane.
However, it is essential that air barrier materials placed in this location are
durable for the life of the building. Carlisle recommends placement of the CCW-705
self-adhering or Barriseal fluid-applied membrane air barriers on the exterior side
of the back up wall. Back
|
|
|
Can you
employ the interior drywall as an air barrier?
In theory, you can. In practice, this is very difficult to do. The transitions between
floors, penetrations from light fixtures, outlets, switches, plumbing, etc. must
all be made air tight. Even if this can be accomplished, drywall is a brittle material
which usually cracks over time, especially around details or corners. Then there
is the issue of interior renovation, which happens often throughout a building’s
life cycle. Drywall as an air barrier is generally a complex and ineffective approach.
Back
|
|
|
Can you
employ a poly sheeting vapor retarder as an air barrier?
In theory, you can. In practice, it is very difficult to do. As poly sheeting vapor
retarder is often placed on the interior side of the wall, this approach presents
many complications. The overlaps and penetrations of the vapor barrier sheeting
are difficult to seal in a durable and continuous manner. The transitions between
floors, penetrations from light fixtures, outlets, switches, plumbing, etc. must
all be made air tight. Even if this can be accomplished, interior renovations or
any activities where the interior wall is penetrated will cause a breach in the
system. Also consider that any breaches in the system provide passage for free flow
of air across the building envelope. Free flow of air results in condensation. The
vapor retarder can worsen this situation by preventing the condensation from drying.
Back
|
|
|
Is house wrap or building paper an air barrier?
In the conventional application manner, these materials are water resistive barriers
(WRB), NOT air barriers. Building paper generally does not qualify as an air barrier
material. Certain house wraps qualify as air barrier materials. However, in order
to provide a true air barrier, the house wrap must be anchored with plastic-capped
nails in a very deliberate manner. All joints and overlaps must be completely taped
and all openings, transitions and terminations must be flashed with self-adhering
flashing. Even when applied properly, house wrap does not provide the same security
in an air barrier application as a fully-adhered membrane air barrier such as CCW-705
self-adhering and Barriseal fluid-applied. Tears or perforation from subsequent
construction steps can completely compromise the performance of a house wrap air
barrier system. Also, the many taped joints and details of a house wrap air barrier
do not have the same long-term durability as the fully-adhered CCW-705 or Barriseal
membrane air barriers. Unlike house wrap, the CCW membrane air barriers are self-sealing
around fasteners. Furthermore, since they are fully-adhered, even significant flaws
or damage to the CCW membrane air barriers have little effect on the overall performance.
Back
|
|
|
Does taping
the joints between sheathing or insulation board make an air barrier?
Since most sheathing itself is an air barrier, taping the joints makes a continuous
wall air barrier. However, unlike CCW-705 self-adhering or Barriseal fluid-applied
membranes, which fully cover the wall, tape has many exposed edges where cycles
of heat, cold and moisture will work the bond loose over time. Also, workmanship
in taping the joints is critical as any wrinkle or fishmouth would present a breach
in the system. Then, there is still a requirement to tie the wall air barrier to
the roof and foundation. CCW Window & Door Flashing over primed surface makes an
effective air barrier sheathing tape. However, the CCW-705 or Barriseal full coverage
membrane air barriers provide superior durability and continuity. Back

|
|
What causes
blisters to occur after applying CCW Deck Coating?
Blistering can occur from moisture, gassing (applying too thick), excessive shotblasting
or inadequate steel trowel finish (consolidation) during surface preparation. Back
|

|
How can I
avoid blistering when applying CCW Deck Coating?
- To avoid moisture blistering, be sure that the deck is not damp and that rain, dew,
or fog are not present prior to application of each layer. Moisture testing should
be done according to ASTM D 4263, “Standard Test Method for Indicating Moisture
in Concrete by the Plastic Sheet Method” or ASTM E 1907, “Standard Practices
