c3.1 WATER, MOISTURE, VAPOR MANAGEMENT
Soil type and water behavior. A summary section illustrating water protection strategies.
c3.2 MOISTURE PROTECTION PLANES AND CODE
Dampproofing or waterproofing required locations and other locations worth considering.
c3.3 ROOF AND FOUNDATION DRAINAGE OPTIONS
Strategies for collecting and removing roof water. Foundation drain options and comments.
c3.4 UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS
For site soils that hold water other removal strategies should be considered.
c3.5 WHOLE SITE WATER MANAGEMENT
Simple diagrams included to stimulate thinking about whole site water management.
c3.6 THERMAL PROTECTION CODE REQUIREMENTS
Foundation insulation varies with the foundation type and the climate zone.
c3.7 INSULATING THE INTEGRAL FOUNDATION
Rigid insulation is the only product choice. There are alternate installation options.
c3.8 INSULATING THE STEM WALL FOUNDATION
The slab edge is the tricky detail. Under slab insulation is a judgement call.
c3.9 INSULATING THE CRAWL SPACE FOUNDATION
The closed (aka sealed) crawl and the vented crawl foundations are compared.
c3.10 INSULATING THE BASEMENT FOUNDATION
Typical basement foundation conditions are indicated with thermal and moisture protection notes.
c3.11 SAMPLE BASEMENT SECTION 1
More descriptive details noted these 3d sections showing exterior rigid insulation.
c3.12 SAMPLE BASEMENT SECTION 2
More descriptive details noted these 3d sections showing interior rigid and cavity insulation.
c3.13 HEAT GAIN HEAT LOSS 1
Both slab and basement sections take a look at soil temperatures and heat flow in the soil.
c3.14 HEAT GAIN HEAT LOSS 2
Delta T discussed below and above grade.
c3.15 CONDITIONS, EXCEPTIONS
A few specific conditions exist with rigid/foam insulations in foundation applications.
