Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate the drying performance of a particular barrier exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) clad wall as a function of vapor diffusion control with a specific air leakage path. The study was conducted with constant interior temperature and relative humidity. Results show that vapor control strategies are an important parameter dictating the drying performance of the barrier EIFS clad wall. Air leakage through the building wall system also showed significant effect.
