Rigid foam insulation applied to the crawlspace walls, allowing a 3-in. pest control inspection strip at the top
Image
Rigid foam insulation can serve as the drainage plane when all seams are taped. Furring strips provide an air gap behind the cladding.
Image
Rigid foam insulation is installed on the garage side of the shared garage wall and roof of an existing home
Image
Rigid foam insulation was installed at the perimeter of the one-level apartments before installing ceiling drywall to ensure a minimum R-21 attic perimeter insulation.
Image
Rigid foam serves as the sheathing on these 2x6 24-inch on center walls; plywood is used only at the corners for wind bracing.
Image
Rigid insulation and water control layers are installed on the exterior of a flat foundation wall; spray foam insulates the rim joist
Image
Image
Seams in the ICF block are sealed so the EPS foam surface can serve as the drainage plane; no house wrap is needed.
Image
Sheets of phase-change material are installed over the cellulose insulation to help even out interior temperatures.
Image
Side and plan views of window-to-wall interface in masonry wall retrofit including three layers of rigid foam exterior insulation, box extensions, and flashing around new windows.
Image
Side view showing air-sealing and rigid foam insulation is installed over existing wall and ceiling under a room above, then covered with new gypsum board.
Image
Side view showing how the existing garage wall and ceiling are air-sealed prior to installing rigid foam insulation on the garage side of the shared wall of an existing home.
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 open-cell spray foam
Image
Image
Spray foam extends down the inside of the foundation wall to the uninsulated slab; because the wall lacked exterior perimeter drainage, the slab was cut and an interior footing drain was installed.
Image
Spray foam is installed between new studs over the existing siding in this deep energy retrofit
Image
Step 4. Install insulating sheathing and vertical furring strips on the retrofitted exterior wall; seal around pipe or duct with urethane sealant.
Image
Step 5. Install sheathing tape flashing over the duct or pipe and wood blocking on either side for later attachment of trim.
Image
Step 6. Install vent hood trim block, metal cap flashing; seal top edge of flashing with sheathing tape.
Image
Image
Step 8. Attach the new cladding to the furring strips over the rigid foam for the exterior wall retrofit.
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
Stuff cavities under kneewalls with rolls of fiberglass batt and spray foam in place
Image
Tape horizontal joint with minimum 3" wide tape placing tape offset high on the joint, adhearing to the upper sheet without wrinkles
Image
Terminate 4" tape with 2" wide tape placing tape offset high on the joint, 2/3 of the tape should be adhered to the sheet of insulation
Image
The “institutional” perfect wall works in all climate zones; water, air, vapor, and thermal control layers are exterior of the sheathing, assembly allows drying to interior and exterior
Image
The advance-framed 2x6 24-inch on-center walls are covered with netting then filled with R-23 blown fiberglass.
Image
The attic knee walls were constructed from 2x6s and insulated with R-19 batt, backed with 1 inch of XPS foam board with taped joints to provide a solid air barrier over the insulated surfaces.
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 batt insulation shown here was properly installed to fill the ceiling cavities.
Image
The builder in this very cold climate installed three layers of unfaced mineral wool batt in the double wall with a code-required vapor barrier between the middle and inner layers of wall insulation that is taped to barriers in the ceiling and floor.
Image
The builder was able to pack R-41 of blown fiberglass into the wall cavity formed by the double stud walls.
Image
The double walls form a 12-inch cavity that was sheathed with a coated OSB then coated with 3 inches of closed-cell spray foam; they will be filled with 9 inches of blown fiberglass.
Image
The energy-saving double wall construction uses two side-by-side stud walls, providing an extra-thick wall cavity that can be filled with more than twice as much insulation as a 2x6 wall.
Image
The foam-filled concrete block walls are lined on the interior side with foil-faced rigid foam then topped with furring strips for attaching drywall.
Image
The Larsen-truss 9-inch wall cavities were covered with a smart vapor membrane that was fastened to the trusses with furring strips, which also provide an air gap behind the wood siding; each truss cavity is then filled with blown cellulose.
Image
The missing top plate in a kneewall was covered with lumber and rigid foam insulation and then sealed with spray foam
Image
Image
The OSB roof decking product comes with an adhered radiant foil barrier which helps to prevent heat transfer in or out of the vented attic, while R-13 unfaced fiberglass fills the advanced-framed 2x6 walls.
Image
The rim band connecting the insulated precast concrete basement walls to the floor joists above is spray foamed to provide air-sealing and insulation in this hard-to-seal juncture.
Image
The rim joists and top plates are air sealed and insulated with open-cell spray foam while the walls are filled with blown fiberglass.
Image
The use of blown-in fiberglass insulation allows the double wall cavity to be filled in completely with no voids that could create cold spots in the walls.
Image
The wall’s concrete blocks are filled with foam and covered with an interior continuous thermal blanket of rigid foam insulation.
Image
The walls and ceilings of this post-and-beam home are filled with netted blown fiberglass.
Image
Image
Image
These factory-built walls consist of 9.5-inch I-studs sheathed with coated OSB, faced with OSB, and dense-packed with cellulose; a second interior surface of drywall is added to provide a 1.5-inch cavity for electrical wiring.
Image
This 2x6 wall is advanced framed and filled with dense-packed cellulose insulation.
