Course 962907 - Weatherization Guide Chapter 2
Chapter 2 focuses on improving a home's heating envelope by properly insulating and air sealing the building envelope to reduce heat loss, improve energy efficiency, and increase occupant comfort. The chapter emphasizes that the thermal boundary and pressure boundary must be continuous and properly aligned to maximize insulation performance. Before insulation is installed, crews must complete essential preparation tasks such as repairing moisture problems, ensuring proper ventilation, maintaining clearances around chimneys and electrical components, installing baffles, and correcting safety hazards.
The chapter provides detailed guidance for insulating attics, finished attics, walls, crawl spaces, floors, foundations, rim joists, and box sills using appropriate materials and installation techniques. It stresses achieving correct insulation density and complete cavity coverage to prevent settling, convection, and air leakage. Dense-pack cellulose and fiberglass insulation methods are described extensively, along with procedures for interior and exterior wall insulation and recommendations for using infrared cameras to verify installation quality.
