scope:
Proper design of space heating, cooling, and air conditioning requires detailed knowledge of the building envelope's overall heat, air, and moisture performance. This chapter deals with heat, air, and moisture transfer definitions; flow calculations for heat, vapor, air, and water; and the fundamentals of combined heat, air, and moisture movement as it relates to envelope components. The chapter also discusses thermal insulation materials and airflow and vapor retarders.
