Vapor permeable refers to materials that allow moisture vapor to pass through while preventing liquid water from penetrating. This property is crucial in construction and clothing, as it helps manage moisture and humidity, reducing the risk of mold and damage. Vapor permeable membranes are commonly used in building envelopes and breathable fabrics, providing comfort and protection in various applications.

When constructing a new wall to optimize insulation value is it acceptable to install 2 inch foam board on the inside of the wall in addition to the fiberglass batts between studs?

2" of foam is not very vapor permeable, so from that point of view it makes sense to have it on the inside of walls in cold climates, and people did used to do this in the eighties, but all the current literature says that foam must be used on the outside, with a more permeable vapor barrier on the inside.
