Abstract
There may be an analogy regarding the perennial questions about the characteristics of air barrier materials and air barrier systems intended to constitute the primary line of defence against air leakage across the building envelope. This article highlights commonalities and differences of air barrier materials and air barrier systems, and introduces the challenges of integrating notions of durability in the design.
