EFF 7 - Crawl Space Techniques

Thursday, April 26, 2007 · 8:30 AM - 10:10 AM

When you insulate and air seal a crawl space, what materials do you use, and where do you install them? How do you determine the best strategy - isolating a crawl space from a house or bringing it into the home’s thermal / pressure boundary? How are codes changing? Learn from DOE field research regarding humidity and energy use with conditioned versus vented crawl spaces. Explore the impact of climate on crawl space performance.

By attending this session, participants will

Identify the important issues to consider when treating crawl spaces
Learn what products work, appropriate applications, and effective treatments
Recognize the importance of safe work practices for crews and contractors
