Air Barrier Inspection:<\/h1>\n

A building envelope performance verification or Air Barrier Inspection is a recently adopted amendment to the 2021 IECC building codes. The inspection requires a certified professional to view the air barrier prior to siding installation, to ensure that the house wrap and other items provide a continuous air barrier to a home, are installed properly, and that all air leaks are minimized where possible before the exterior is covered up.
