Right-- IR photo shows how effectively spray foam insulated/air sealed attic kneewall and the floor cavities under kneewall
Image
Right: All joints in the rigid foam are taped to keep stucco out of joints for even drying. Mesh tape (shown here) is used with expanded polystyrene (EPS); acrylic sheathing tape or self-adhered membrane is used with XPS
Image
Rigid foam forms an insulating bond break between the foundation wall and the slab
Image
Rigid foam insulated sheathing placed exterior to house wrap, interior to house wrap, or take the place of the house wrap
Image
Rigid insulation and air-sealing can be used to thermally isolate garages from interior occupied space in multifamily row houses/townhouses.
Image
Rigid insulation and air-sealing can be used to thermally isolate garages from multifamily row houses/town houses with basement foundations in IECC Climate Zones 3 or higher.
Image
Rigid insulation can be used as a thermal break between a garage slab with a heated plenum space and a separately cast garage slab without a heated plenum space.
Image
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
Seal all wood framing joints surrounding the chase with sealant and lay a bead of sealant along top edge of chase framing
Image
Seal all wood framing joints surrounding the chase with sealant and lay a bead of sealant on top edge of chase framing
Image
Image
Siding has been removed so cellulose insulation can be dense-packed into the exterior walls of this home
Image
Single framed wall converted to double wall and insulated with closed-cell spray foam
Image
Single framed wall converted to double wall and insulated with closed-cell spray foam and loose-fill fibrous insulation
Image
Single framed wall converted to double wall and insulated with open-cell spray foam
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
Smoke generators are used to identify air leakage sites during depressurization testing
Image
Special molded corners provide continuous insulation layer at the corners to improve structural strength and minimize thermal bridging
Image
Image
Spray foam insulation is installed in open wall cavities to air seal and insulate
Image
Spray foam provides a critical seal between the subfloor, rim joist, and sill plate
Image
Standard roof trusses are narrow at the eaves, preventing full insulation coverage over the top plate of the exterior walls
Image
Stucco is installed over rigid insulation, which is installed over a drainage plane consisting of a drainage gap and building wrap layer over the sheathing
Image
The air tightness of the garage-to-house air barrier can be tested with a blower door kit and two manometers
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 individual exhaust systems for each dwelling unit in this multifamily building result in large numbers of penetrations in the exterior façade
Image
The soffit dam and baffle allow air to flow through the vents without disturbing the insulation covering the top plates
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
Image
The wall behind the fireplace is an exterior wall and requires a thermal barrier that is continuous with the rest of the wall’s insulation
Image
Thermal bridging is eliminated at the rim joist with the use of joist ledgers that are anchored in the wall
Image
Thermally isolate heated garages in multifamily buildings from ambient space, and thermally isolate all garages in multifamily buildings from interior occupied space. This parking garage is thermally isolated from space above with spray foam insulation.
Image
This assembly can be used to thermally isolate heated or partially heated garages with slab foundations from the exterior in multifamily row houses/townhouses in IECC Climate Zones 3 and higher.
Image
This assembly for above-grade and below-grade garage walls in any climate zone uses continuous rigid insulation along the interior of the wall.
Image
This assembly for above-grade or below-grade garage walls in any climate zone uses a hybrid of continuous rigid insulation and cavity insulation on the interior side of the wall.
Image
This foundation/floor/SIP wall detail shows recommended support of SIP wall panel at the sill plate
Image
This heated garage plenum is insulated along the bottom and sides, and the insulation is fully aligned with an air barrier. The insulation at the bottom of the plenum space meets IECC insulation requirements.
Image
This heated garage plenum space is insulated along its top, bottom and sides, and the insulation at the top of the plenum meets IECC requirements. The insulation along the top and sides is fully aligned with an air barrier.
Image
This HRV, installed in a conditioned attic, provides balanced ventilation to the whole home
Image
This kneewall has no top plate and the resulting gap provides a wide-open pathway for air and vapor to travel between the living space and the attic
