You've Been Insulating Basements WRONG (What The Code Doesn't Tell You)

In this video, we discuss how the building code does not provide adequate guidance to insulating basements, and how blindly following the code tables can cause moisture issues like condensation. Basement walls have a tendency to stay cold throughout the year if they aren't thermally coupled to the interior conditioned space, and the unrestricted movement of humid interior air can lead to condensation if you use the wrong insulation strategy. We provide guidance on insulating basement walls safely, either on the exterior with continuous insulation or on the interior with airtight, vapor-retarding continuous insulation.
