Building
an energy efficient home envelope
SolAire insulates the home envelope to very high standards
to reduce heat loss and prevent heat gain in summer. We
recommend:
o R-49 ceiling
o R-27 staggered stud walls
o R-38 sub-floor or R-15 slab on grade
• We seal the home envelope and
ductwork to eliminate air leaks
• We use high efficiency low U and low
E glass for windows
• We prevent moisture & mold
problems by using weather wrap, sealing windows & doors,
and proper use of exterior flashing
