Best Practices: Consider the Crawlspace
the consider CRAWLSPACE Though homeowners rarely think about that small space under their houses, builders should give crawlspaces careful consideration.
CRAWL SPACE MOISTURE CONTROL -
1 CRAWL SPACE MOISTURE CONTROL - A Fundamental Misunderstanding By Peter Carpenter, member ASHRAE, SBCCI A crawl space needs to be ventilated with outside air.
Insight New Light in Crawlspaces
Figure 2: Old Crawlspace Temperatures —Surface temperatures are dominated by radiation and conduction, not by convection. Old crawlspace floor framing was not only warmer than the ground but also warmer than the ventilation air dew point.
Sealing a Crawlspace
Sealing a Crawlspace Close the vents and let a heavy-duty vapor barrier keep moisture, mold and radon out of the living space BY LARRY JANESKY Dramatic transformation.
HOW TO INSULATE A
IDENTIFYING THE TYPE OF CRAWLSPACE YOU HAVE There are two common ways to insulate a crawlspace depending on the type of crawlspace. If there are pipes and uninsulated ducts present, insulate the walls of the crawlspace area.
Improve comfort and increase durability in the home
CRAWLSPACE WALL INSULATION TECHNIQUES For years, standard building practice was to insulate underneath the floor over a ventilated, unconditioned crawlspace.
Moisture Performance of Closed Crawlspaces and their Impact ...
© 2004 ASHRAE. ABSTRACT This study compared the performance of closed crawlspaces, which had sealed foundation wall vents, a sealed polyethylene film liner, and 1.0 ft 3 /min (0.5 L/s) of HVAC supply air for each 30 ft 2 (2.8 m 2) of crawlspace ground surface, to traditional vented crawlspaces ...

Crawlspaces and Moisture Control
T EMP- V ENT ® Crawlspaces and Moisture Control Left untreated, crawlspace moisture can wreak havoc on a house. Crawlspace construction is a popular practice in many areas of the country.
Crawl Space Moisture Control
The code also allows for the installation of an exhaust fan to exhaust crawl space air to the outside. Because exhausting can create negative pressure in the crawlspace, this method is not recommended.
