Image
Tape horizontal joint with minimum 3" wide tape placing tape offset high on the joint, adhearing to the upper sheet without wrinkles
Image
Tape the joint between the top insulation sheet and the Z-flashing with 2" wide tape to improve air tightness
Image
Image
Temperatures in deep undisturbed soil at a given location are approximately equal to the annual average air temperature for that location
Image
Tempered glass windows usually have an etched marking on the glass in the corner of the window that includes the supplier's name, place of fabrication, date manufactured, thickness, and certifications or safety standards the glass meets.
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
Termite Infestation Probability Map, Adapted from the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), Figure R301.2(7)
Image
Termite shield extends under sill plate and through brick veneer below the through-wall flashing and weep holes.
Image
Termite shield is installed at the top of the foundation wall before installing sill plates; all seams and holes are sealed with epoxy
Image
The “down” and “out” approach to flashing – metal flashing directs water down and out of building assemblies
Image
The 3/8-inch gap under the door allowed wind-driven rain to enter the house in hurricane winds of 140 to 160 mph.
Image
The addition of low-E permanent exterior storm windows is typically accepted for most historic preservation projects
Image
Image
The Attachments Energy Rating Council (AERC) uses this label to indicate certified low-E storm window products.
Image
The brick house foundation piers on discrete footings (in the foreground) failed by rotating and overturning while the piers set in the concrete mat survived Hurricane Katrina.
Image
The brick veneer lacked adequate ties to keep the brick from peeling off the wall in an earthquake.
Image
The cabinet above this refrigerator will keep it from tipping forward during a seismic event
Image
The combustible rigid foam insulation is protected by a non-combustible layer of mineral wool insulation; a 7/8 inch “hat-channel” provides the ventilation and drainage gap.
Image
The combustible siding product on the left side in this demonstration burns readily when exposed to a burning wood sample, while the noncombustible siding on the right does not ignite
Image
The components of a framed wall include from inside to out: gypsum, wood studs, OSB or plywood sheathing, and siding.
Image
The components of a roof include the rafter framing or trusses, purlins, plywood roof decking, underlayment, and the roof covering.
Image
The cool shingles on the right have been coated with a ceramic coating to reflect near-infrared radiation, resulting in a cooler roof as shown by these thermal images (red and yellow are hotter, green and blue are cooler).
Image
The cripple wall hiding the post-and-pier foundation of this wood framed house toppled when the house was shifted partially off its piers by an earthquake
Image
The cripple walls in this home gave way in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, causing the walls to partially collapse.
Image
The design of this home incorporates multiple methods to reduce summertime solar gains including roll-down exterior blinds, wide exterior horizontal louvers, minimized east/west-facing windows, and vegetation.
Image
The DOE Efficient Window Coverings website identifies twelve categories of interior window shading attachments.
Image
The Efficient Window Coverings website allows direct comparison of various window attachment types based on thermal, visual, functional, and installation and durability criteria.
Image
Image
The elevated concrete floor over this concrete column foundation uses rigid foam on its interior surface to reduce thermal bridging and risk of floodwater damage
Image
The ENERGY STAR logo indicates products that have been verified to meet energy efficiency and performance criteria.
Image
The existing dark tile roof on this home (top photo) was covered with a light -colored coating on day 6 (middle photo), resulting in a significant reduction in attic temperature and cooling energy consumption (bottom)
Image
The flat retrofit foundation plate is used to connect the concrete foundation to the sill plate from the exterior of the building as part of a seismic retrofit
Image
The flush cut method for seismic retrofit bracing of a cripple wall allows the plywood sheathing to be attached directly to both the cripple studs and the notched section of the mudsill
Image
The frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme heat events have increased every decade since the 1960s
Image
Image
The furring strips that provide a drainage gap behind the lap siding are wrapped with ≤ 1/8-inch screen at the top and bottom of the wall to keep out bugs and burning embers.
Image
The geometry of this roof encouraged drifting of snow leading to heavy accumulation between the gables
Image
The goal of foundation moisture management is to construct the basement, crawlspace, or slab in a way that keeps moisture from getting in in the first place
Image
The green framing is lumber that was pressure treated with borate to increase its resistance to termites, mold, and moisture
Image
The icicles and the bare spot along the left roof ridge indicate that heat from the second-story room may be heating the underside of the roof deck, melting the snow and likely leading to ice dam formation.
Image
The IR image on the right shows the sun is heating the southeast-facing wall of this concrete-block house to 36C (97F); this corner of the home would not be a good place for a cool room due to lack of shading and insulation
Image
Image
The light-colored exterior roll-down shades on this building, and the shaded entryway provide very effective control of solar heat gain
Image
The minimum required plumbing connections and trim for fire sprinkler connection to municipal water with a standalone wet sprinkler system.
Image
The Minimum Water Delivery Rates for Various Water Supply Amounts for Residential Fire Suppression Cisterns, as given in Table 4.6.1 in NFPA 1142
