Across

  1. Moisture that moves this way can pass as vapor through solid building materials.
  2. This can be active or passive to help control a home's moisture and comfort level.
  3. In an unfinished one, there's likely to be exposed insulation.
  4. Insulation in between studs in a wall does not restrict thermal flow because of this.
  5. A roof relies on the proper installation of this to shed rainwater adequately.
  6. Moisture problems in this area may be cuased by lack of a vapor diffusion retarder.
  7. Inspectors should report on the general absence or lack of this.
  8. This is how heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves.
  9. This should be sealed and insulated, especially if it passes through an unheated space.
  10. Inspectors should check for points of this that allow moisture or air through a building envelope.
  11. This type of ceiling requires special insulating techniques.
  12. Moisture should be provided with a path of this.
  13. This is how heat is transferred within a gas or liquid.
  14. At the home's exterior, this should be adequate to protect the foundation from pooling rainfall.
  15. This describes air that moves and displaces air of a different temperature.
  16. This is the science behind your IR camera.

Down

  1. This type of joint is installed between bricks, pipes and other building materials to absorb movement.
  2. Protect your lungs by wearing this.
  3. This is how heat is transferred through a solid material.
