Image
ICFs provide continuous wall insulation from the roof to the footing with very little thermal bridging
Image
Identify what materials will constitute the continuous air barrier around the building envelope.
Image
In cathedral ceilings, parallel chord trusses allow thicker insulation levels over the exterior wall top plates.

Infrared imaging shows cold conditioned air pouring out of the open floor cavities under this attic kneewall into the hot unconditioned attic
Image
Infrared thermography during depressurization testing reveals air leakage at corner of spray foam-insulated room where wood-to-wood seams in framing were not air sealed
Image
Install a continuous air barrier below or above ceiling insulation and install wind baffles.

Install an ENERGY STAR labeled insulated door with an automatic closer. Weather strip the door frame
Image
Install continuous rigid foam insulation or insulated siding to help reduce thermal bridging through wood- or metal-framed exterior walls.
Image
Install continuous top plates or blocking at the tops of walls adjacent to conditioned space to minimize air leakage.

Lay out the rigid foam sheathing joints so they do not align with the window and door edges
Image
Lifting plates attached to the wall provide good bracing to tighten up SIP panel seams
Image
Light tubes adjacent to unconditioned space include lens separating unconditioned and conditioned space and are fully gasketed
Image
Limited attic access can make inspections for missing air barriers and insulation challenging
Image
Limited attic access may make it necessary to use a bore scope when inspecting for missing air barriers and insulation in existing buildings.
Image
Make sure the beads of caulk are continuous the full length at each SIP panel seam, such as at the wall-roof seam, to maintain air barrier continuity
