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. The basement features closed cell foam insulation and a 400-amp service with battery storage. The foundation height change saves money and creates a crawl space for service access. The house combines traditional aesthetics with high-performance building techniques, showcasing the expertise of the custom builder, Brian, and the Build Show team.
