By Karine Galla Air and water-resistive barrier systems play a crucial role in the longevity and performance of commercial buildings, and safeguarding against issues such as excessive energy consumption and moisture-related damage. In this scenario, impermeable air barriers will most effectively block moisture from entering the wall system.
