Learning Objectives
By attending this session, participants will:
• Understand the difference between thermal and air barriers
• Know the proper location of thermal and air barriers
• Recognize the driving forces of air leakage
• Understand the connection between air leakage, energy waste, and moisture problems
• Understand how air ducts affect pressure balances within the home
• Understand the principle behind the blower door as a tool for measuring air leakage

Thermal Boundary
The Thermal Boundary:• Limits heat flow between inside and outside
• Easy to identify by presence of insulation
• The location of insulation in relation to other building components is critical to its effectiveness
• Even small areas of missing insulation are very important
• Voids of 7% can reduce effective R-value by almost 50%

Summary
• Pressure and thermal boundaries should be continuous and in contact with each other
• Air carries heat and moisture
• Air leakage requires a hole and pressure difference
• Wind, heat and fans drive pressure differences
• Duct location and condition can cause room pressure imbalances
• Blower door is a controlled driving force for quantifying air leakage
