Sometimes eliminating thermal bridging requires us to fully model a structure. This 6 unit Passivehouse project we are designing is complicated by a parking requirement on a steep site, requiring use of a set of steel platforms. Steel is one the worst ma… bit.ly/2JYULjL

Another shot of that air sealed yet vented roof detail on our Roslindale single family. It added 20 man hours to do this detail. The straps could have been 2x3s, so yes the 2x4s are overkill. We had extra 2x4s on the job so we decided to use them instead… bit.ly/2vFWUaD
