Air Barriers - 07 27 00
Air leakage has a significant impact on energy consumption and building indoor air quality.
Air barriers reduce air leakage through the building envelope. The best material for sealing or preventing air leaks depends on the size of the gaps and permeability of the building envelope.

Air Barriers in Building Construction by Honeywell Specialty Materials
New requirements in energy codes and expectations for better performance among many building owners underscore the importance of air barriers for commercial-building performance and code compliance. Use of spray polyurethane foam (ccSPF) as a key component in air-barrier assemblies provides
good performance characteristics and cost and construction advantages, as shown in this review of industry literature and new research by RSMeans Business Solutions.
Tips on Estimating Air Barrier Costs from RSMeans
 | Insulation and fireproofing products are measured by area, thickness, volume or R-value. Specifications may give only what the specified R-value should be in a certain situation. The estimator may need to choose the type of insulation to meet that R-value. |
