7. QUESTION- The vapor and air barrier membranes. Are they to be connected where the CMU walls and the slab connect in order to form an air tight structure? Also, I see the recovery board and the insulation, but is there any sort of membrane that needs to be applied to the roof as well? And if so, would it be required to connect that to the CMU wall membrane as well?

7. ANSWER- There should be a liquid applied air/vapor barrier applied to the CMU wall that continues down the foundation wall. The roof should have a self-adhered air/vapor barrier that is continuous and should overlap the air barrier on the CMU.
