Adding continuous exterior insulation is recognized in the building code as an option for residential structures; and building science supports its use.

This presentation will include detailed installation instructions for any wrap and foam wall assembly.

Webinar 3 concludes our review of the 11 critical steps involved in building a house as a ‘system.’ We look at managing occupant comfort and indoor air quality through system design by addressing such topics as building a better basement wall, reducing the A/C size, and creating greater comfort in the house by the windows we select, to name a few.

This class will discuss mandatory and prescriptive insulation requirements in the IECC, as well as the building science rationale for these requirements.
