Over the coated sheathing air barrier, the builder installed a continuous layer of 2-inch rigid foam and then covered this with a yellow mesh rain screen layer.
Image
Over the taped rigid foam board, 2x4 furring strips provide a ventilating air gap and drainage plane under the engineered wood lap siding. The furring strips were attached with structural screws to provide an attachment surface for the siding.
Image
Polyisocyanurate rigid foam insulation is installed in multiple layers with staggered, taped seams over the flat roof
Image
Image
Proper flashing around windows is especially important when the rigid foam serves as the drainage plane in the wall
Image
R-5 XPS rigid foam exterior sheathing provides an air seal, moisture barrier, and additional insulation value.
Image
Retrofit an existing roof by installing rigid foam, new moisture and air control layers, new sheathing, and new cladding plus cavity insulation in the roof rafters to create an unvented attic
Image
Right - A continuous load path connects the roof and wall framing to the foundation.
Image
Image
Right - Braced wall line spacing is correctly calculated for determining wall bracing in accordance with the IRC.
Image
Right - Foil-faced polyisocyanurate insulating rigid foam sheathing is installed below the floor framing of this house built on piers; however, the seams should be sealed with metal taped and the plumbing elevated and protected.
Image
Right - Foil-faced polyisocyanurate rigid foam is attached to the existing exterior wall with vertical wood furring strips
Image

Image
Right - Open-web floor and ceiling trusses provide space for ducts in conditioned space.
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 - Seam-sealing flashing tape is installed with roller to fully adhere to the OSB.
Image
Right - Seams in coated sheathing and joints around window are properly sealed and flashed with tape and all nail holes are covered with paint-on sealant.
Image

Image
Right - The seams in the OSB sheathing are sealed with a sprayer-applied sealant.
Image
Right - These roof insulation panels are installed in multiple layers with joints offset both vertically and horizontally. The plywood nail base fastened to the roof framing holds the insulation layers together snuggly thus minimizing gaps
Image
Right - This foil-faced polyisocyanurate rigid foam is installed on an existing exterior wall and the seams are taped so the rigid foam can serve as a water control layer
Image
Right - Wood board sheathing seams are being sealed with low-expanding spray foam.
Image
Right – A flexible tape is used to air-seal around wiring holes in the coated sheathing.
Image
Right – A rigid corrugated rain screen product is installed shingle-fashion with overlapping edges behind rock veneer.

Image
Right – Battens were installed above the cork insulation to provide a ventilating layer between the insulation and the roof sheathing on this “hot roof” design.
Image
Right – Coated OSB provides a weather-resistant air barrier for this envelope of this home.
Image
Right – Coated OSB sheathing provides a continuous air and moisture barrier around the home.
Image
Right – Coated sheathing is taped at all seams to serve as an exterior air barrier on the walls.
Image
Image
Image
Right – Foam gasket is installed on the surface of the framing before plywood sheathing is installed on these factory-constructed wall panels.
Image
Right – Furring strips provide a drainage and ventilation gap between the siding and the cork insulation.
Image
Right – Furring strips were installed to provide a 3/8-inch drainage plane over the rigid foam and under the fiber cement lap siding.
Image
Right – If drip edge flashing is installed over fully adhered roof membrane at eaves, use flashing cement to seal the upper edge of the flashing
Image
Right – Install asphalt shingles over a starter strip set in an 8-inch strip of flashing cement
