Image
The soffit dam and baffle allow air to flow through the vents without disturbing the insulation covering the top plates
Image
The spray foam-insulated attic provides a temperate place for the ERV ducts, which provide filtered fresh air to every room in the house.
Image
The tape is covered with mastic to ensure an airtight seal between the duct and the fitting
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
The unvented attic is insulated along the underside of the roof deck with 7 inches (R-49) of closed-cell spray foam, providing vaulted ceilings and a conditioned knee wall space for ducting.
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
The wood blocking for future PV panel installation extends above the surface of the top layer of polyisocyanurate rigid foam insulation installed as part of a flat roof retrofit
Image
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
These below-grade walls are insulated along the exterior with R-5 of bug-resistant high-density rigid fiberglass insulation installed over damproofing.
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.
Image
This 4-inch layer of rigid foam insulation (R-20) will be sandwiched between two layers of concrete poured on site for a highly insulated foundation wall.
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 attic is insulated to R-64 with a hybrid application of 11 inches of open-cell spray foam (R-4.45/in) plus 2 inches of closed-cell spray foam (R-7.4/in) that completely fills the roof rafter cavities and encases the rafters.
Image
This attic was insulated with 5 inches of closed-cell spray foam on the underside of the roof deck plus 6.5 inches of blown fiberglass covered with sheetrock as a firebreak for a total R-58 roof assembly insulation value.
Image
This basement is insulated on the exterior with rigid foam over dampproofing, with granular backfill and footing drains to facilitate drainage away from the foundation, a termite shield to protect from pests, and cellular PVC to protect the rigid foam.
Image
This builder applied an air-sealing layer of spray foam along the underside of the roof deck and the inside of the walls before filling the wall cavities with blown cellulose.
Image
This builder installs spray foam in exterior wall cavities where tubs and showers will be installed to air seal and insulate the exterior wall.
Image
This close-up of an exterior wall retrofit of a masonry brick home shows the fluid-applied water and air control layer (white), 2x4 furring strips and two layers of rigid foam insulation (pink), then 1x4 furring which provides a ventilation gap
Image
This community of production homes in central New York state was built with insulated concrete forms (ICFs), which provide a highly insulated, airtight structure that is fire-, pest-, wind-, and earthquake-resistant.
Image
This exterior insulated slab-on-grade monolithic grade beam foundation is protected from pests by termite shield at the sill plate, borate-treated framing, flashing at end of wall insulation, brick veneer over slab-edge insulation, and rock ground cover.
