A Guide To Insulating Old Homes For HOT HUMID Climates (Part 1) | Floors, Foundations & Walls

Insulating an older home in a hot humid climate presents different challenges than colder or temperate climates. High levels of heat, humidity, and moisture can lead to mold growth and rot if the home is insulated improperly. Insulating eliminates dehumidification benefits provided by the air conditioning system, and over-ventilating can raise humidity levels. We will discuss common building conditions in the hot humid South, insulation strategies that work, and how to prevent and address moisture issues. This is part 1 of a 3 part series. In this video, we will be talking about floors and foundations, and common framed wall assemblies.
