What is a Building Envelope?
 A
building
envelope is made up of the windows, doors, walls, foundation,
floor, ceiling and roof. and is the barrier between the conditioned
indoor environment and the imposing elements of the outdoor
environment. Your building envelope should protect you from
these external elements such as extreme temperature, moisture,
dust and wind.
The building envelope should also be constructed to ensure
durability and not allow for these external elements to become
trapped within the walls, almost certainly causing decay and
deterioration. Especially in wood frame construction in a
mild, wet climate such as Coastal British Columbia.
