Air barrier, vapour barrier, vapour control barrier, thermal barrier, thermal bridge, insulation, out-solation, batt insulation, blown-in insulation, rigid insulation, spray foam insulation ... the list goes on and on. All these terms and definitions can be very dauting even for professionals in the industry.
In my career I have heard so many opinions about assemblies and changes in 'industry best practices' it is incredible. Living in a Northern Climate like Alberta can create challenges to keep the conditioned air inside the house.
Fortunately there are companies like Dupont and IKO committed to research and development of products designed to perform in a extreme climate zones. I have spent countless hours researching and learning the best assemblies in the appropriate conditions for Alberta climates.
The right solutions are out there. Increasing insulation to an existing home, developing a living space, building a new home, or trying reduce your energy bill, I can lead you in the right direction. Contact Zero45 Consulting.
