Info-501: Installation of Cavity Insulation — by Building Science Corporation — last modified 2009/05/20: This information sheet will address the installation techniques important to the effective performance of cavity insulation.
Info-511: Basement Insulation — by Building Science Corporation — last modified 2009/05/20: Basements need to be dry for reasons of indoor air quality, pest control, and durability of the building.
Info-512: Crawlspace Insulation — by Building Science Corporation — last modified 2009/05/26: The crawlspace is insulated to control heat flow and to minimize cold surfaces that can condense water and elevate local relative humidity.
Info-513: Slab Edge Insulation — by Building Science Corporation — last modified 2009/05/19: For slab on grade construction, the slab edge represents a significant heat loss potential. This is important not only to the energy performance of a building but moisture management of the building as well.
