Matt Risinger and Steve Bacic explore innovative insulation strategies in a Boston project. They discuss using wood fiber insulation on 24-inch centers and Zip R sheathing for air tightness. They highlight the use of myvest for air barrier continuity, top chord bearing trusses for mechanical access, and acoustical separation in the home theater.
