This McLean, VA homeowner had recently purchased the home and was gutting the entire interior to have it remodeled. Their desire to have the most comfortable, energy efficient home led Comfenergy to provide an entire home encapsulation.
Solution
The following series of pictures are 'after' pictures in different locations throughout the home showing the closed cell spray foam encapsulation.

Evaluator: Justin Dobson
This McLean, VA homeowner was looking for the most energy efficient, comfortable home possible during an interior remodeling.
This is a picture of the first floor rim joists. A very typical location for air leakage during home construction. No leaks here now!!
One of the exterior walls on the second floor completely air sealed and insulated with closed cell spray foam.
Another exterior wall on the second floor.
This is a shot of the attic completely encapsulated. Notice the HVAC and ducting will be working inside the building envelope. No more working in 140 degree heat for this HVAC system!
Another shot of the attic. Notice the duct work doesn't even need to be insulated because it is "inside" the house now
A final shot of the attic spray foam. Air tight and better than local code requirements!
