Air leaks in a home are a major cause of moisture and air contamination, leading to significant energy loss. These leaks typically occur where two or more materials or components intersect, such as at sill plates and top plates, penetrations through the building envelope like electrical fixtures, as well as window and door openings. To control air leakage, it's crucial to use effective strategies like air sealing products such as tapes and sealants, adjusting the home's design to reduce penetrations in the air barrier, or using a combined weather and air barrier to prevent air leakage through the envelope. Taking proactive measures to address air leaks can help save energy and maintain a healthy living environment.
