Modern building design increasingly embraces sealed attic construction as a strategy to enhance energy efficiency and improve air leakage control, particularly beneficial for the performance of HVAC ductwork. This approach, where the attic space is brought within the building's thermal and air control envelope, fundamentally alters the moisture dynamics compared to traditional vented attics. While offering significant advantages, sealed attics introduce unique moisture challenges that demand precise and active management to prevent long-term durability issues and maintain superior indoor air quality.
