The term ‘building science’ is used quite often now in sustainable building circles, but much of what we understand of it can be traced back to the work of Dr. Joe Lstiburek, founder of Building Science Corporation. Many of the building standards today have his finger prints all over them, and his tough love criticism of building design is undercut with his wry humor and encyclopedic knowledge of building construction. — Inhabitat

"I’m flabbergasted by the architectural profession giving up control of such a profitable part of the industry, which is the interaction of the building enclosure with the climate and the people and the mechanical system. You know, this occurred because of the change in the focus on the education of the architects, the school. They’re focused – they’re trained in art."

The problem is the wall is leaking because you don’t have flashing. Your hydrothermal model has nothing to do with why this wall is wet.
