What types of insulation does Habitat use? What are the R-values of your insulating systems?

All of our framing systems meet or exceed the International Energy Conservation Codes (IECC) for the coldest regions of the US, including Alaska! The wall system uses 1-1/2" foil-faced polyisocyanurate (R 10) insulation and 1/2" CDX fir plywood for on-site application.  Cavity insulation (fiberglass, spray foam, etc.) is supplied and installed by owner/contractor. The Beamed Roof System insulation includes staggered layers of foil-faced rigid urethane insulation with R-60 Equivalent (R-41 continuous is the equivalent of R-60 cavity insulation), and 1/2" CDX fir plywood nailbase over the insulation. Our Higher R-Values can be obtained with an additional layer(s) of insulation.
