“…Project Overcoat: An Exploration of Exterior Insulation Strategies for 1-1/2 Story Roof Applications in Cold Climates (Ojczyk et al 2013a) determined that the External Thermal Moisture Management System (ETMMS) approach warranted further evaluation as a roof-only approach for maximizing opportunities for insulation, air sealing, and roof deck ventilation. The second NorthernSTAR report, Airtightness Results of Roof-Only Air Sealing Strategies on 1 ½-Story Homes in Cold Climates (Ojczyk et al 2013b) investigated the airtightness impact of the roofonly, ETMMS technique on 1 ½-story homes.…”

“…This retrofit was completed in the fall of 2013 and no ice dams were reported during the winter of 2014. Ojczyk et al (2013b) provided supporting data on air exfiltration for roof overcoat projects using the ETMMS approach. Data from contractors using ETMMS to mitigate ice dams as well as supplemental data from Building America (BA) industry partners using an interior-only approach to improve energy efficiency shows a large variation in airtightness improvement in both the exterior-and interior-applied air sealing processes.…”

The work presented in this report does not represent performance of any product relative to regulated minimum efficiency requirements. The laboratory and/or field sites used for this work are not certified rating test facilities. The conditions and methods under which products were characterized for this work differ from standard rating conditions, as described. Because the methods and conditions differ, the reported results are not comparable to rated product performance and should only be used to estimate performance under the measured conditions. v Contents List of Figures .

“…Industry Partners Ojczyk et al (2013b) discussed how several BA industry partners offered airtightness data from interior-applied, roof-only energy improvements to 1 ½-story homes participating in market-rate utility and weatherization programs. All three companies that provided air leakage data are BA industry partners and assist the NorthernSTAR BA partnership in research:…”
