Image
Right - Potential locations for crawlspace insulation: vapor sheeting should always cover the floor with insulation (a) outside walls, (b) inside walls, (c) both sides of walls, (d) sandwiched inside walls, or (e) under the first floor.
Image
Right - Potential locations for slab-on-grade stem insulation in new construction: slab insulation should always be underneath, with stem walls insulated (a) inside, (b) outside, (c) not at all, or (d) outside with underground extension to repel moisture.

Image
Image
Right - Raised-heel roof trusses allow more room at the eaves for attic insulation.
Image
Right - Raised-heel trusses increase the roof height above the eaves allowing more space for insulation above exterior wall top plates; exterior wall sheathing extends up to keep wind from soffit vents from disrupting insulation.
Image
Right - Reduce condensation risks to blanket insulation by installing perforated vapor retarder covered fiberglass blankets over rigid foam that is air-sealed at all edges; staple the blanket to nailers and top/bottom plates and tape over the seams.

Image
Right - Section view showing how to air-seal and insulate a basement wall with perforated blanket insulation by installing it over air-sealed rigid insulation board to reduce condensation risk in the fiberglass blanket.
Image
Right - Spray foam fills the walls and rim joists to air seal and insulate while caulk seals the framing joints.
Image
Right - Spray foam insulates and air-seals the stone walls of this unvented crawlspace.
Image
Right - Spray foam insulates the attic eave between the attic floor and the SIP roof panel.
Image
Right - Spray foam insulation air-seals the ceiling-to-drywall seams at the wall top plate.
Image
Right - Spray foam insulation has been sprayed onto the underside of the sloped roof and the gable end wall to provide a sealed, insulated attic for housing the HVAC ducts
Image
Right - The attic access panel is insulated and weather stripped and a dam is built to hold back the blown attic floor insulation
Image
Right - The basement foundation is insulated on the exterior and termite shield extends out past the top of the insulation.
Image
Right - The basement walls are wrapped with 3 inches of XPS rigid foam that will be taped at the seams then covered with a dimpled plastic water barrier.
Image
Right - The blanket fiberglass insulation is installed over a continuous layer of rigid foam insulation; the fiberglass is covered with a vapor retarder that is tape sealed at the seams.
Image
Right - The ceiling above the garage is insulated and air-sealed with open-cell spray foam to keep garage fumes out of the living space above.
Image
Right - The concrete basement wall is insulated on the interior with rigid foam; the footing detail is shown.
Image
Right - The concrete masonry unit (CMU) basement wall has exterior insulation; the footing details include interior and exterior footing drain pipe.
Image
Right - The conditioned basement is insulated on the interior with 1 inch of polyiso R-6.3 rigid insulation.
Image
Right - The energy recovery ventilator ducts supply filtered outside air to multiple locations in the home and continuously exhaust stale air to provide clean, balanced ventilation.
Image
Right - The existing basement slab is retrofitted by installing a dimple plastic drainage mat, rigid foam insulation, and a floating subfloor.
Image
Right - The poured concrete basement walls are insulated along the inside with 2.5 inches of extruded polystyrene insulation.
Image
