Walls Above Grade Figure 18 shows three different approaches for insulating within and beyond the stud space and foundation wall. In warmer climate zones, the required level of thermal resistance can be achieved using batt insulation in the stud space
(Figure 18a). In climate zones where required effective insulating values cannot be provided within the framing space alone or where higher insulation levels are desired, additional insulation must be provided on either the inside or the outside of the framing (Figure 18: b and c).
