What Is a Smart Air Barrier System?
Smart air barriers (the variable — the humidity's; the Intello's) control (the air's — the always; the vapor's — the variable) — the membranes (the taped — the sealed; the perm's — the changing). The system: the airtightness (the 0.6 — the ACH50's; the Passive House's), the vapor's (the smart — the seasonal), and the durability (the 100-year — the tested). The enclosure's — the intelligent.

How smart barriers work
The airtight (the 0.05 L/s-m² — the always; the taped's), the variable (the 0.13-13 perms — the humidity's; the dry's — the tight), the drying (the seasonal's — the inward; the summer's), and the durable (the 100-year — the accelerated's; the tested).
The system's components
The membrane (the Intello's — the smart; the taped's — the Tescon's), the penetrations (the gaskets' — the sealed; the Roflex's), the windows' (the Contega's — the airtight; the installed), and the blower (the verified — the 0.6's; the mid's — the construction's).
Design and installation
The drawings (the red line's — the airtight; the continuous), the sequence (the installed — the protected; the trade's), the testing (the mid-construction's — the 1.0; the final's — the 0.6), and the cost (the premium's — the 1-3%; the energy's). The smart is the forgiving — the airtight always, the vapor seasonal.
The bottom line
Specify smart air barriers (variable 0.13-13 perms, always airtight) for Passive House-level envelopes — detail the red-line continuity, tape penetrations with gaskets, and verify with mid/final blower tests.
