Energy Efficient Homes Should I put tyvek wrap on my new home?

Question by John: Should I put tyvek wrap on my new home?
I live in South Texas and I am wanting to build a energy efficient home. One Builder says I dont need the tyvek wrap, and another once says I do. Does it block out the humidity and is it a better air quality?
