[Greenbuilding] Eifs as air barrier?

[John Daglish]

Have a look at the range of products from Moll proclima for sealing
window wall joints used in many passivhaus's in Europe.

also products from

Ampak

attention not all synthetic glues are the same quality...VOCs, lifetime,...

EPDM compression gaskets, in multiple units can also achieve good
levels of air sealing but require very good built detailing.
