A knee-wall that is not airtight on the back side is an
invitation for thermal problems. Air driven by wind or
temperature differences overpowers the insulation’s
resistance to air motion and moves through the insulation,
which reduces its R-value. Additionally, the air movement
through the walls may also cause condensation at the
drywall surfaces.
