UAS Construction
Technology funded under a grant from the Cold Climate Housing Research
Center is working with Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority to construct
and monitor PERSIST (pressure equalized rain screen insulation structure
technique) housing in their new subdivision in Juneau. Monitoring
will include comparison of a PERSIST constructed home to a conventionally
constructed dwelling.

Adaptation of PERSIST method
for use in Installation of bituminous membrane over the exterior wall sheathing. This membrane is the exterior drainage plane and the air and vapor barrier.
|
 |
Rigid foam is placed
over the bituminous membrane. All the required insulation for the building can be placed on the exterior of the building. |
 |
Insulation, air, vapor and water sealing is now completed. This is the stage where furring strips would be attached over the foam sheeting into the framing creating a rain screen siding approach.
