CAVITY WALL SYSTEMS - Steel Stud/Brick Veneer

Steel stud construction contributes to an economical and versatile wall system in commercial and multi-story residential construction. However, steel stud construction can also present unique challenges, including moisture accumulation and lowered R-value of the wall system. The design of a proper assembly to include continuous moisture resistant insulating sheathing, mold resistant exterior gypsum sheathing along with a quality & adequately placed air/vapor barrier can help to solve the inherent challenges of steel stud cavity wall construction.

ASHRAE Correction Factor 90.1 --- Effective R-value = R-value x Correction Factor
The ASHRAE 90.1 correction factor considers the heat loss through the highly inefficient
steel studs and is based on the R-value of the insulation used between the studs only.
