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 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 home is equipped with two electric vehicle chargers conveniently located in the garage.
Image
This hot climate zone home uses high quality batt insulation between studs to insulate this connecting garage wall.
Image
This shared parking garage in a multistory multifamily building is open to the exterior, allowing for natural air changes to control airborne contaminant concentration.
Image
This wall assembly for above-grade garage walls uses cavity insulation and should only be used in IECC Climate Zones 4 or lower due to the risk of condensation on the interior surface of the concrete wall.
Image
To ensure a complete air barrier between the garage and the house, the wall between the garage and the house was insulated and air-sealed with four inches of high-density spray foam.
Image
To test house-to-garage airtightness, after connecting the green tubing as shown, connect the red tubing as follows: connect the input tap on channel “A” of the two-channel manometer (2CM) to the reference tap on channel “B” of the 2CM
Image
To test house-to-garage airtightness, first set up the blower door kit with the smart manometer in the blower door
Image
Two manometers are used when pressure testing the airtightness of the walls separating the house from an attached garage
Image
Image
Use caulk or spray foam to air-seal all four edges of the blocking material in each joist bay.
Image
When HVAC systems are installed in enclosed garages, it is preferable that the equipment is located within an air-sealed room that is connected to the conditioned space.
Image
When using I-joists, make sure to fill in the gaps on each side of the blocking material to air-seal the joist bay where a wall separates conditioned and unconditioned spaces.
Image
Image
Wrong - Negative pressure from hurricane winds caused garage door to collapse inward.
Image
Image
Wrong - No air barrier is present in the floor joists spanning over the garage and conditioned space of the home.
Image
Wrong - Rigid insulation blocking is installed but not air-sealed with spray foam around edges.
Image
Wrong - The band joist above this garage-house shared wall is not properly sealed.
Image
Wrong - The faced batt insulation does not provide an air barrier in the joist bay between the garage and the conditioned space of the home.
Image
Wrong - The garage door sensor is too high and it should be 4 to 6 inches from the ground.
Image
Wrong - The rigid foam that was installed as an air barrier at the rim joist was not properly air-sealed.
Image
Wrong - When ceiling joists over a garage run perpendicular to the adjoining wall, the joist bays must be blocked and sealed to prevent garage fumes from entering the living space
Image
Wrong – An opportunity to use structural members as a natural air barrier was missed in this home and blocking was not initially planned for between the garage and living space.
Image
Wrong – Cars should never be left running in a closed garage. Air seal walls, install a garage fan, and inform home owners of the dangers of running a vehicle with the garage door shut
Image
Image
Wrong – Garage door failure due to positive pressures from hurricane force winds.
Image
Image
Wrong –The gate that was attached to the garage at the corner ignited and led the fire to the home, causing the damage seen here.
Image
Wrong: The door and filter were removed, allowing unfiltered air to enter the air handler leading to premature failure of the system due to dirt accumulation.
Image
Wrong: This air handling equipment is installed in the garage without isolating the equipment from the garage space
