Floor cavity air pressure is measured by placing a tube into the floor cavity through a small drilled hole
Floor cavity pressure is measured by inserting a tube into the floor cavity using an extension pole
Infrared imaging shows cold conditioned air pouring out of the open floor cavities under this attic kneewall into the hot unconditioned attic
Limited attic access may make it necessary to use a bore scope when inspecting for missing air barriers and insulation in existing buildings.
Right-- IR photo shows how effectively spray foam insulated/air sealed attic kneewall and the floor cavities under kneewall
The attic kneewall and the open floor cavities under kneewall are both sealed and insulated in one step with spray foam insulation
The floor cavities under this attic kneewall are completely open to the unconditioned attic space and a prime target for wind washing
This kneewall has no top plate and the resulting gap provides a wide-open pathway for air and vapor to travel between the living space and the attic
Wrong - This IR image of a second-floor landing shows that attic air is flowing far into the interstitial floor cavity of the second-floor landing
