pro clima Australia Study in Airtightness & Moisture Management Presentation - AUG2024- Jesse Clarke

The pro clima Australian Study is unique piece of work looking at airtightness and moisture management in our residential building stock. The desktop research study was completed and released in 2022 after a number of years of research.
A series of presentations based on the study were held around Australia in 2024. This video is a presentation delivered by our R&D and Innovation Manager, Jesse Clarke in its entirety.
Jesse is a co-author of the study and in his presentation explores the science behind the findings. It is a fascinating insight into why condensation occurs and what can be done to manage moisture in Australian buildings.

I am building a house in Slovenia, alpine climate, +30 in the summer and - 20 winters, I have 6cm Steico wood panels outside, there will be a tongue and groove vented wood facade, 30cm Steico wood fibre insulation between the wall studs and 4cm Steico wood panels inside, why do I need a membrane and any side of the wall when the wood panels both sides of the studs are air tight, and vapour can pass through both direction and could only turn into condensation when it hits the back of the wood facade? Thanks for the video!

A great presentation, thank you. I would very much like a study and presentation into airtigness and moisture management in a hempcrete construction, where wall membranes and ventilation cavities are typically not used.
