All band joist insulation must be enclosed within an air tight cavity,which you must create. 40. Vapor retarders.Although these are still in the code have exceptions, one must understand that there is 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 has filtered dirt out of the air moving through the insulation.780 CMR R601.2 for vapor retarders and Table N1102.4.2 for air sealing requirements. 41.
