| ETW | Enclosures That Work |
Enclosures That Work are Building Profiles and High R-Value Wall Assemblies developed by BSC to be appropriate for residential construction in specific climate zones.
Building Profiles are residential building cross sections that include enclosure and mechanical design recommendations. Most profiles also include field expertise notes, material compatibility analysis, and climate challenges.
The High R-Value Wall Assemblies are summaries of the results of BSC’s ongoing High R-Value Enclosure research — a study that BSC has undertaken for the US DOE’s Building America research program to identify and evaluate residential assemblies that cost-effectively provide 50 percent improvement in thermal resistance.
