There’s more than one way to build a durable and efficient wall. Like most things, the devil is in the details—and in this case, the details refers to the four control layers. For a comfortable home and a wall that won’t fail, you must control water, air, vapor, and temperature. In this webinar we’ll study the four control layers, take a look at building codes and various climates, and open up a handful of walls that work.

Hello.
I watched a recorded version of the Webinar.
I learnt a lot and understood the contents.
But I am unclear why an assembly with No cavity insulation at all ( R-value gained with exterior Rigid only) was not mentioned. Is such practice not advised ?
( Prefer the answer in reference to Climate zone 5)
Thanks
