[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you so much for this very helpful discussion! We really get that it is all about moisture thanks to your comments. OP here to clairfy: 1. Our goal is to finish the attic into living space. 2. It is correct - we have just the air handler unit in the attic and the compressor is outside. This is how it was when we bought our home. 3. Our current thinking is to wall the air handler unit into the conditioned space we are making. And use a smart membrane product like intello or membrain to prevent moisuture from reaching cold surfaces in the walls and rafters. Combined with an unfaced batt insulation. What do you all think?[/quote] A smart membrane is good, but it is in no way sufficient to protect the roof from condensation. You need either ventilation between the insulation and sheathing, spray foam, or insulation on the exterior. [/quote]
