5 NP-EIFS NON-PERMISSIVE EXTERIOR INSULATION AND FINISH SYSTEMS CONCEPT TECHNOLOGY AND DETAILS FIELD OF THE INVENTION This

invention relates to a new concept of the permissive exterior insulation and finish systems to transform these systems in to a non!permissive to water air and vapor exterior insulation and finish system" #$%&'(O)ND OF THE INVENTION Exterior Insulation and Finish *ystems +EIF*, are well -nown in the art" *uch systems typically consist of a layer of su.strate such as plywood oriented!strand .oard O*# /ypsum sheathin/ etc an insulation layer such expanded polystyrene mesh em.edded in a coat of polymer modified cement and polymeric finish" Ori/inally EIF* was an exterior wall concept desi/ned to have hi/h insulation values and a relia.le stucco finish that could .e economically created in a wide array of textures and colors" 'enerally these systems include an exterior wall havin/ an expanded polystyrene foam insulation .oard E0* attached via an adhesive or mechanical fasteners to the su.strate" The exterior of the insulation after all details specified .y architect such moldin/s .ands structural or aesthetical 1oints are created is covered with a dura.le water resistant .asecoat which receives a fi.er/lass mesh as reinforcement" $ dura.le finish coat typically usin/ an acrylic co!polymer technolo/y is then applied" The finish coat is /enerally .oat color fast and crac- resistant" EIF* which is a type of claddin/ for exterior .uildin/ walls is defined per $*T2 E345! 65# as a7 non!loadin/ outdoor wall finish system consistin/ of a thermal insulation .oard an attachment system a reinforced .asecoat exterior 1oint sealant and a compati.le finish" 8hile such EIF* have proved to .e 9uite satisfactory for easy of installation insulatin/ properties and a.ility to receive a variety of aesthetically pleasin/ finishes a serious and vexin/ pro.lem associated with EIF* construction exists" This pro.lem is one of water accumulation .ehind the exterior wall coverin/" *uch water it:s considerate to .e the result of

< condensation and wind!driven water that may enter .ehind the exterior wall coverin/ at any point where the exterior surface of the coatin/ is penetrated" 2oisture is driven throu/h the porosity of exterior polymer cement and finish coat surface and throu/h air!permea.le insulation +E0*, .y the difference pressure of cold air and hot air" The air!permea.le insulation is exposed to permit air to flow into and out of the insulation layer to e9uali;e the pressure of exterior environment and inside cavity of wall" This flux of air will drive moisture into the system" 8ind!driven water that may enter .ehind the exterior wall coverin/ may .e the result of poor wor-manship or desi/n deterioration of flashin/ or sealants over time lesser 9uality doors and windows or any other penetration or compromise of the exterior finish" Once inside the sealed wall and .ehind claddin/ the water can remain trapped lon/ enou/h .efore evaporatin/ to dama/e or rot any water sensitive elements to which the insulation is .onded includin/ framin/ structure" This water is -nown in the art as intrudin/ or incidental water" To eliminate those inconveniences EIF* industry creates draina.le systems" Draina/e is accomplished .y means of channels formed .y vertical ri..ons of adhesive applied to the .acof the insulation .oards or channeled E0* .oards to form channels for incidental moisture to escape" The moisture and intrudin/ water travels .etween the ri..ons to the .ottom termination of the system where it escapes throu/h weep holes of the draina/e vented trac-" This system is installed over a water and moisture resistive .arrier" Draina.le systems have difficulties when needs to drain water amon/ windows and when vertical wall end whit ceilin/ or .eam" *offits have no solutions to drain condensation water" In addition the moist environment is a .reedin/ /round for wood consumin/ insects and health ha;ards such as various varieties of molds" $ttempts have .een made to prevent entry of moisture into the .uildin/ wall interior .y sealin/ or caul-in/ entry points in and around wall components as the primary defense a/ainst moisture intrusion or .y installin/ flashin/ around the wall components to divert the moisture" These attempts have not .een completely successful" *ealants are not only difficult to properly install .ut tend to deteriorate and separate from the wall components due to climatic conditions .uildin/ movement the surface type or chemical reactions" Flashin/ is also difficult to install and may tend to hold the moisture a/ainst the wall component" Flashin/s are thermal .rid/es from outside temperatures and sources of airflow into the wall cavity" These materials are of no value in addressin/ the

4 pro.lem of moisture that has already entered a .uildin/ wall cavity or moisture that penetrate the permea.le E0* .oard and condensate on the moisture .arrier surface" The superior ener/y efficiency and desi/n flexi.ility of EIF* have resulted in /rowin/ popularity .ut the presence of moisture remains a vexin/ pro.lem" Thus there is a /reat need for a system and method to prevent and stop moisture to penetrate the insulation layer and intersections of EIF* whit other elements" For that we have to fully understand the phenomenolo/y of interior and exterior environment difference such temperature relative humidity and pressure the conditions of condensation and physical properties of materials such permea.ility permissively thermal conducti.ility and otters" That part of any .uildin/ that physically separates the exterior environment from the interior environment is called the .uildin/ enclosure or .uildin/ envelope" $lso the .uildin/ enclosure may contain .ut is not the same as the so!called thermal envelope term that is used to refer to the thermal insulation within the enclosure" The overall enclosure is made up of all the conti/uous enclosure su.!assem.lies" Further dawn N0!EIF* is considered the thermal envelope of the enclosure" #uildin/ assem.lies need to .e protected from wettin/ via rainwater /roundwater air transported water and vapor diffusion" The typical strate/ies use draina/e planes on air .arriers air pressure control installed .etween insulation system and exterior wall assem.ly indifferent of climate location and season" 2oisture usually moves from warm to cold driven .y the thermal /radient +vapor pressure differential, and from more to less driven .y the concentration /radient" In cold climates moisture from the interior flows towards the exterior .y passin/ throu/h .uildin/ enclosure in hot climates moisture from the exterior flows towards the cooled interior .y passin/ throu/h the .uildin/ envelope" #y climates and seasons we can have two extreme situations from the exterior environment7 very cold and dry and hot! hummed with same inside conditioned space limited to 3=> relative humidity at ?@AF +<4"BA%, .oth applied to a .uildin/ havin/ draina/e EIF* claddin/" In cold climates moisture from interior flows towards the exterior driven .y a hi/h vapor differential pressure .etween interior +?@AF Temperature 3=> (elative Humidity, and exterior +!CAF Temperature 4=> (H," $.solute humidity +water vapor concentration, is the drivin/ force" 8ater vapor molecules wendin/ their way throu/h porous materials anthill they
