Ventilation alone won't dry a cold roof space. Jon Davies explains why sealing the ceiling at every scotia gap and around every unsealed downlight does more to reduce condensation than any vent.
Insulation only performs to its R-value when the air around it stays still. Here's how INTELLO PLUS makes airtightness count in your H1 calculations while keeping moisture out of the structure.
Higher insulation levels change how a building handles moisture, requiring a coordinated approach between intelligent vapour control and mechanical ventilation to prevent structural damage.
With the 2027 H1 deadline approaching, the pro clima technical team has expanded on recent industry updates to include specific detailing solutions for New Zealand architects and designers.
The guide specification helps define desired airtightness levels, set testing requirements, and ensure accuracy by using an ATTMA Registered Air Tightness Tester.
The new aquatic center was built to promote health and safety for kids, but the new owners noticed odd things about the building when the systems were turned on.
In New Zealand, it's crucial to get building layering right for summer and winter. Modern buildings include an intentionally airtight shell to conserve energy, whether for warmth or coolness.
