If you have been by 1 Dog Lane recently, you may have noticed that parts of the building are now a vibrant green. While the buildings are designed to be “green” (energy- and water- efficient), that is not the color of the building.
The green color is actually an air vapor barrier that prevents moisture and air from migrating through the wall, which reduces energy use and prevents issues related to moisture or water penetration.
The barrier has not been applied to the entire building because different exterior finishes have specific air vapor barriers that are better suited to each material.
