When it comes to connecting wall air barrier assemblies to other building assemblies, the most often missed or poorly executed detail is the connection between the wall air barrier and roof assembly.
This presentation will focus on the following items to consider from a design standpoint, along with practical approaches to ensuring a robust connection is constructed and executed.
- Describe why the roof/wall air barrier intersection is critical to building performance in regards to moisture management and air leakage control and common design and field errors.
- Discuss compatibility issues related to wall and roof air barrier components for the myriad of air barrier and roofing assemblies that exist on the market today.
- Identify pre-construction coordination items to review and allocation of responsibilities to sub-trades for proper execution of connection.
- Review requirements for detailing the roof/wall interface and the sequence of construction for most common roof/wall air barrier connections.
