Right – The water-resistant barrier covers the entire house and the seams are taped to provide a complete drainage system
Right – The water-resistant barrier is layered over the step flashing to provide a complete drainage system
Right – The window header is filled with spray foam and sealant is used to air seal wood-to-wood seams; however, it would be preferable to design the wall to avoid so many stacked studs around the windows because they prevent wall insulation installation.
Right – There is a self-sealing bituminous membrane installed at the valley of the roof prior to the roof felt
Right – There is flashing installed along the top of the window and the water-resistant barrier is layered over to create a complete drainage system

Right – This attic knee wall and the floor joist cavity openings beneath it are being sealed and insulated with spray foam.
Right – this commercial building employs good techniques to resist solar heat gain: awnings and pergolas over windows, recessed windows and entryways, deep tinting on glass, and shade plants.
Right – This fire-rated wall assembly uses exterior gypsum board and an exterior siding of fiber-cement or metal to increase fire resistance.
Right – This foil-faced foam sheathing has taped seams and proper flashing details so it can serve as a drainage plane.
Right – This home is framed with double walls – two 2x4 walls set next to each other then sheathed with OSB on the exterior and netted on the interior face to create an extra-deep wall cavity that can be filled with blown-in insulation.
Right – This home uses a light-colored exterior wall to reduce solar heat gain
Right – This home uses light tan stucco and white trim to reduce solar heat gain.
Right – This home’s above-grade walls are constructed in a factory where wall panels of 2x6 studs are assembled and sheathed with a coated OSB product, then windows are installed and flashed before shipping the panels to the site for assembly by crane.
Right – This low-slope roof and parapet assembly has continuity of both the air and water barriers
Right – This metal roof is being coated with a cool (high SRI) coating to reduce solar heat gain
