When performing a "pre-flight check" of fiberglass batts for a crawl space installation, what is the MOST critical indicator of potential thermal bridging issues that might not be immediately apparent from a visual inspection alone?
In the context of "The Complete Fiberglass Batt Installation Course 2026," what is the primary reason for emphasizing the meticulous sealing of all penetrations (e.g., electrical boxes, plumbing) BEFORE installing fiberglass batts in an attic application?
targets a specialist understanding of building science. While A and D are not entirely irrelevant (though A is highly unlikely with proper batt installation and D is a secondary benefit at best), the primary and MOST crucial reason for sealing penetrations before batt installation is to establish a continuous air barrier (C). Fiberglass batts are primarily thermal insulators, not air barriers. Air leakage through penetrations bypasses the insulation, significantly reducing its effective R-value and leading to energy loss and potential moisture issues. Sealing these gaps creates an unbroken plane that prevents conditioned air from escaping and unconditioned air from entering, thus maximizing the performance of the subsequently installed thermal insulation. Drywall integrity (B) is related to air sealing but is a consequence rather than the direct primary purpose in this context. Question: According to the principles outlined in "The Complete Fiberglass Batt Installation Course 2026," what is the MOST significant consequence of installing fiberglass batts with their facing material lapped incorrectly or not sealed at seams in a cathedral ceiling application?
