ACI Home Performance Conference 2009

MAM 12N - Densepack Sidewall Insulation Installation (In-field)

Monday, April 27, 2009 · 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Gain hands-on experience applying techniques for blowing insulation at a density that prevents settling and stops unintended air movement in walls. Learn about neat tools and tricks for effective siding removal. Witness the importance of equipment maintenance and proper voltage to achieve proper density. Understand how installation practices can increase the installer’s ability to address key building junctures and reduce thermal defects. Explore the contractor and crew challenges of implementing dense pack insulation.

By attending this session, participants will

Understand that well-functioning equipment is critical to blowing cavity insulation
Learn how tubing can avoid insulation voids and find out how to determine if insulation is blown at the proper density

Apply the techniques learned to achieve higher performance in the field
