Occupant Comfort

High-performance buildings result in comfortable interior environments throughout the year. Highly insulated and airtight assemblies result in warmer interior surfaces and uniform indoor temperatures. For example, continuous exterior insulation minimizes potential cold spots on interior surfaces often found at framing locations like studs, top and bottom plates, and framing around openings. Thermally efficient and over-insulated doors and windows also results in warmer interior frame surface temperatures, increasing interior comfort.
