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.
Rigid foam serves as the sheathing on these 2x6 24-inch on center walls; plywood is used only at the corners for wind bracing.
Rigid insulation and air-sealing can be used to thermally isolate garages from interior occupied space in multifamily row houses/townhouses.
Rigid insulation and water control layers are installed on the exterior of a flat foundation wall; spray foam insulates the rim joist
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.
Rigid mineral wool insulation is covered with ¼-inch wood battens which provides a air and drainage gap under the cedar and fiber cement siding.
Rim joists are insulated with R-20 of open-cell spray foam which is air sealing and insulating but vapor permeable.
Roofing membrane is installed over polyisocyanurate rigid foam insulation and insulation cover board that has been cut to fit around locations for blocking for the PV system rack
Roofing paper protects the top of the new plywood parapet while the base of the parapet is air sealed with spray foam and fibrous insulation is installed in the rafter cavities in this flat roof retrofit
Seal all joints and seams in the metal ductwork with mastic before installing insulation
Seal seams in fiber board ducts with out-clinching staples, UL-181A-approved tape, and mastic
Seal the drywall to top-plate seams and the lower edge of baffles to the top plate to prevent the air coming from soffit vents from flowing under baffles into insulation.
Seams in the ICF block are sealed so the EPS foam surface can serve as the drainage plane; no house wrap is needed.
Sheets of phase-change material are installed over the cellulose insulation to help even out interior temperatures.
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.
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.
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.
Siding has been removed so cellulose insulation can be dense-packed into the exterior walls of this home
Single framed wall converted to double wall and insulated with closed-cell spray foam

Sloped roof with cavity spray foam insulation sprayed on underside of roof deck and covered with sprayed-on thermal or ignition barrier coating.
Sloped roof with cavity spray foam insulation, strapping, and gypsum board thermal barrier
Some builders use cantilevered trusses to get full height insulation over the exterior wall.
Southern Energy Homes worked with DOE researchers to develop an efficient way to dense-pack blown fiberglass into the low attics of manufactured homes.
Specially designed roof trusses come with a two-foot by two-foot notch cut next to the center post providing space to install an insulated duct chase inside the home’s conditioned space but above the normal ceiling height.
Spray foam and rigid foam were used under the slab while rigid foam wraps the exterior of the foundation walls.
Spray foam extends down the foundation wall to the slab, which has been retrofitted by adding dimple plastic drainage mat and rigid foam insulation.
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.
Spray foam insulates and air-seals the ceiling deck and top plates of this vented attic.
Spray foam insulates the top plates and air seals them to the ventilation baffles before ceiling drywall is installed.
Spray foam insulation extends down the foundation wall to the slab, which has been retrofitted by cutting the slab to install drainage mat against the wall and a new perimeter footing drain, along with rigid foam plastic above the slab.
Spray foam insulation insulates and air seals around plumbing pipes and top plates in the attic.
Spray foam insulation is applied along the underside of the roof deck to provide a conditioned and non-vented attic space for ducts and air handlers.
