1List four requirements of an air barrier in order for it to perform as it is intended:
1. [blank_start]Continuity[blank_end]
2. [blank_start]Structural[blank_end] [blank_start]Integrity[blank_end]
3. [blank_start]Air[blank_end] [blank_start]impermeability[blank_end]
4. [blank_start]Durability[blank_end]- AContinuity
