The housewrap comprises a barrier layer (20) and an adhesive layer (22). The barrier layer (20) has a first surface (24), which faces inward relative to the building (12), and a second surface (26), which faces outward relative to the buildin g (12). The adhesive layer (22) is applied to the first surface (24) for attachment of the housewrap (10) to the sheathing (14). The barrier layer (2 0) provides a moisture barrier against outside water or moisture, yet allows a water vapor transmission rate of at least 100 g/m2/day from the interior of the building (12). The adhesive layer (22) comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive that has a high moisture vapor transmission rate of at least about 100 g/m2/day.
