Vapor barrier on both sides?

Vapor barrier on both sides?

Postby nyarchitect23 » Sun Aug 09, 2020 4:59 pm

I have read in multiple sources that you should always place vapor barrier on warm side of insulation and you should never place on both sides. Is this correct?

I forgot where I read this perhaps AGS, that mentioned the best place is to not have it at all but if one has to be installed ; place it in warm side.

I have read that as well, but my question is, where would you place it for both climates, for example if there were 50% days where it was warmer on inside and 50% where it's warm on outside?
