A site built system that uses the inner envelope wall is described. Blocking and vertical nailers are attached to this wall and sheathed with foil faced drywall to create the envelope cavity. An outer layer of 3 1/2 in. of Expended Poly Styrene provides continuous solid insulation. The trusses are also sheathed in foil faced drywall and insulated with 5 1/2 in. of E.P.S. This effectively surrounds the building with a continuous vapor and infiltration barrier. Construction details as well as cost breakdowns are presented.
