Building Science Made Simple: Moisture, Air & Thermal Control for High-Performance Homes

Welcome back to High Performance Build on the Offsite Dirt Network! In this episode, we’re joined by industry experts Joe, Mark, and Sean for a deep dive into the essential principles of building science—moisture control, air control, and thermal control—and how these affect both traditional and modular construction. From understanding vapor barriers in different climate zones to how modular builds benefit from factory QA and testing, this episode is packed with actionable insights for builders, designers, and homeowners. 👉 Learn how to make smarter decisions, test smarter, and build healthier, more efficient homes—from factory to finish. 0:00 – Introduction to High Performance Build 0:43 – Joe’s 3 Building Science Priorities: Moisture, Air, Thermal 2:00 – Why Moisture Management Comes First 3:20 – Airflow, Quality, and the Role of Air Barriers 4:00 – Sean’s Moisture Analogy & Real-World Examples 5:00 – “Give Your Home a Sweater”: Explaining Thermal Control 5:30 – Mark on Air Sealing and the Windbreaker Analogy 7:50 – Modular Construction: Factory Benefits & QA Process 9:30 – The Importance of Testing: Catching Mistakes Early 12:00 – Climate Zones: Why Building Science Depends on Location 13:40 – Final Thoughts: From Factory to Finish, Test to Confirm #buildingperformance #buildingscience #modularhomes #highperformancehomes #offsiteconstruction #moisturecontrol #airtightbuilding #thermalinsulation #homeefficiency #constructiontesting
