Foundation Insulation
Insulating the Foundation of the Kansas City Passive House
Brandon, David, and Griffin, the High Performance Cowboys as we like to call them, were out braving the heat at the Beacon Hill project last week.
They worked on insulating the foundation which is a crucial step in building a high performance home - one that is often skipped in a traditional home build.
The insulation and poly vapor barrier they installed will help isolate from thermal transmission between the ground and the home.
We’ve all been in traditional basements and experienced dramatic fluctuations in temperature. Adding insulation below the basement slab and on the interior side of the foundation walls will help ensure the heat is kept in during winter and out during the summer. We're building a space that will be comfortable all year long.
Next step: pouring more concrete!
