Image
Right – ICFs are being installed to create a continuous air and thermal boundary
Image
Right – Insulation installed to correct depth and will be aligned with air barrier
Image
Image
Image
Image
Right – Rigid air barrier installed between double-wall assembly. Inside cavity will be insulated
Image
Image
Image
Image
Right – Structural insulated sheathing can provide racking strength (lateral load resistance), and serve as an air barrier and thermal barrier if installed according to manufacturer’s specifications with taped, sealed seams
Image
Image
Right – This attic knee wall and the floor joist cavity openings beneath it are being sealed and insulated with spray foam.

Image
Right-- IR photo shows how effectively spray foam insulated/air sealed attic kneewall and the floor cavities under kneewall
Image
Rigid foam insulated sheathing placed exterior to house wrap, interior to house wrap, or take the place of the house wrap
Image
Scaffolding is continually raised as courses of foam brick are added so that the pour man can see both sides of the wall during the pour.
Image
SIP panel walls are less susceptible to air leakage and convection issues than stick-built walls
Image
SIP panels should be stacked high, dry, and flat
Image
Image
Special molded corners provide continuous insulation layer at the corners to improve structural strength and minimize thermal bridging
Image
Standard roof trusses are narrow at the eaves, preventing full insulation coverage over the top plate of the exterior walls
Image
The attic kneewall and the open floor cavities under kneewall are both sealed and insulated in one step with spray foam insulation
Image
The back dam of the window sill will force water out
Image
The floor cavities under this attic kneewall are completely open to the unconditioned attic space and a prime target for wind washing
Image
The ICF consists of foam forms that are held in place with plastic or metal spacers and reinforced with metal rebar
Image
Image
The thermal boundary for a gable roof can be located at either a) the flat ceiling with a vented attic or b) the roof line for an unvented attic
Image
Thermal bridging is eliminated at the rim joist with the use of joist ledgers that are anchored in the wall
Image
This foundation/floor/SIP wall detail shows recommended support of SIP wall panel at the sill plate
Image
This technique for installing electrical wiring avoids the need to cut into the SIP panel
Image
Three common ICF wall systems: the flat wall, the waffle wall, and the post-and-beam wall
Image
Two layers of high-permeability house wrap are installed to provide a drainage layer between the SIPS and the homes external cladding
Image
Two layers of XPS are installed with staggered seams over a liquid-applied membrane on the structural sheathing
Image
Use a smoke pencil to check for air leaks at SIP panel seams, especially along the ridge beam
Image
Use flashing tape to seal around any pipes or vents that penetrate through the foam
Image
Utilities are commonly recessed into cutouts in the foam after concrete has been poured
Image
Walls are being assembled at this SIP house
