Vapor barrier exterior / Discussions

What is the best way to insulate a Multi-material wall?

...vapor barrier’ to the outside of a concrete foundation won’t prevent it from drying, as it wasn’t going to dry anyway. On the other hand, putting EPS foam insulation on above grade walls is not always wise. In most cases they aren’t wet, so you are actually at risk of changing the way they shed moisture, for the worse....
