a difference between a vapor retarder or barrier and an air barrier. An air barrier is intended to stop air
flow (convection) a vapor retarder or barrier is intended to stop molecular moisture transfer (diffusion).
A vapor retarder or barrier is effective even if there are some holes or gaps, however an air barrier has
to be absolute and complete. If air can leak through an electrical device or through a crack it follows the
path of least resistance and carries 99% of the moisture in a structure. This is evident every time one
exposes fiberglass insulation and finds black insulation, which is dirt filter out of the air moving through
the insulation. 780 CMR R601.2 for vapor retarders and Table N1102.4.2 for air sealing requirements.

an accessible place. It must be insulated, gasketed, and secured in place. 780 CMR R807
Relevant items must be submitted to the building department for approvals before inspections and or CO can be
signed. Other items are intended to avoid costly issues at inspections.
