Pare-vapeur en combles perdus : est-ce obligatoire en rénovation ?

In this video, we answer a frequently asked question: Is it mandatory to install a vapor barrier in an uninsulated attic during renovation? Based on a subscriber comment, I revisit the fundamental principles of managing water vapor in homes: attic ventilation, condensation risks, dew point, underlayment, material Sd value, mineral or bio-based insulation… Why isn't a simple underlayment sufficient? What are the risks in winter and summer? How can you prevent moisture-related problems in a roof? As is often the case in construction, the devil is in the details. A design or installation error can compromise the performance of even the best-chosen insulation.

As an author with Terre Vivante and host of the YouTube channel “Papy Claude,” I now devote myself to this sharing by building a network of professionals: the habitologists. The goal of this network is to help residents achieve their objectives: to attain comfort while significantly and genuinely reducing their footprint (greenhouse gas emissions, resource use, etc.), and to respect the relationship between residents and their homes (housing sustainability, budget, etc.).
