Drawings

I have created some summary drawings of how systems work graphically.

General Enclosure Systems

Insulation and membrane on exterior The most reliable approach in almost any climate or use.
Exposed membrane low-slope roof Protected membranes are generally more durable
Insulated framed wall The wall that swallows its insulation and requires special care to make work
The intelligent compromise
Sandwich precast Arch precast is just like any other heavy cladding -- with light framed interior or insulation over membrane
Dual Barrier EIFS with drained joints -- an excellent compromise
Metal Building systems
Residential basement A reasonable compromise that works much better than standard walls
