studio 05: shell detail, revised
Revised shell detail utilizing Kalzip roofing/wall system and NuWool engineered cellulose spray insulation - 100% recycled material, removes the need for a vapor barrier, superior r-values, and excellent acoustical properties. Refer to the following links...
System lacks a method to shed any water that may enter assembly via possible failures in envelope... any ideas?
Actually now that I look at it, I think the vapor barrier will be needed just under the strapping. The duality of the shell as roof and wall will make it necessary... a wall assembly with the nuwool product would not require a vapor barrier, a roof still does. Other vertical exterior walls could fore go the use of a vapor barrier.
