A corridor splits this house between sleeping areas and amenities - the passage in-between becomes the lungs of the house, creating much needed ventilation in what was once a dark and stale portion of the property.

When it comes to building design, there are a variety of ways to look at sustainability.

The labels “Net Zero” and “Passive House”, for instance, are synonymous with the design of ultra-low energy structures that require very little energy to heat and cool them.

“Living Buildings” is another design standard created by the International Living Future Institute, providing the criteria for buildings that are designed from start to finish with sustainable parameters and that function in a similar way to structures in nature.

I tend to get a lot of questions around spray foam, why I like to use it, won`t it trap moisture, etc. Let me be clear, spray foam isn`t exactly my first choice, but it`s often what is necessary for the situation. Whether it`s remediating an existing home for condensation issues or insulating hard to access locations, spray foam can be a real asset. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. But it works when you use it correctly - and can actually be a more affordable option in some instances. When I do specify spray foam, I specify high density CLOSED CELL foam, not open cell. Closed cell foam tends to be more reliable for airtightness whereas open cell foam is not. Closed cell foam is a vapor retarder - open cell is not. For example, this is a diagram of an existing basement that requires remediation for moisture problems (hydrostatic pressure is forcing water through the foundation walls, poor drainage around the perimeter,. no drain tile appeared to be provided, etc.). Closed cell foam was used here to insulate along the backside of the dimple mat to 1.) enclose the dimple mat from potential moisture transmission 2.) To eliminate any condensing surfaces behind the 2x4 wall 3.) To transition the rigid foam at the slab to the wall.
You do have to ensure that any wood products that you`re spraying has a moisture content of less than 18% (I think less than 16% is safer though).
