ABSTRACT This invention relates to a method of building construction that prevents or reduces soil and basement enclosure material-sourced gases, moisture and biological and physical agents from entering the basement and other living space of build- ing structures. This invention also provides for the installation of thermally insulated inner walls and floors, as desired, to provide enhanced basement living space thermal comfort, while minimizing the possibility of any mold and mildew-induced basement structural and furnishings material damage or deterioration due to enclosure water leakage or transfer, or basement living space water condensation on cold exterior wall or floor surfaces. This invention also provides a convenient source of air for furnace or fireplace operation, if desired. The invention discloses a method of building construction in which there is provided a substant- ially continuous air and vapour barrier that is attached to the inner walls and floor of a basement cavity in order to prevent or reduce the ingress of vapour and pollutants from the cavity to the basement living space, as well as a means for ventilating and draining the cavity of any pollutants and moisture therein. Ventilation air for the cavity can be taken either from the building interior and/or from the outdoors. When this air is taken from the interior, coincident healthful ventilation of the building living space is also achieved. The invention can be economically installed in new and existing buildings in which it is intended to "finish" the basement as a comfortable living space.
