    Abstract: A method for improving the airtightness of a building or a room in a building, includes using a vapor barrier membrane on the inner face of the walls of the building or the room in the building, wherein the vapor barrier membrane is a humidity-regulating membrane including an active portion which includes a middle layer having a thickness of 2 μm to 200 μm, and consisting of a biopolymer having a water vapor permeability coefficient P1 which increases with average relative humidity and which, when determined at 23° C. and at an average relative humidity of 25.5%, is at least 300 Barrers, and, on either side of the middle layer and in contact with the latter, two outer layers with a thickness of 100 nm to 20 μm, and consisting, independently of each other, of an organic polymer having both a water vapor permeability coefficient P2.
