Check out this opening from the attic that leads directly down between the walls of the home. Had this gone unnoticed before the home owner took possession, it could have led to discomfort in the room along with potential moisture issues caused by hot attic air mixing with the conditioned air inside the home. Proper air sealing plays a critical role in the comfort and building performance.

Great job Guy on finding this during our Final HERS Inspection!

Another LEED Platinum home complete by Studio 804. Great job to the KU students and congratulations to the 2026 graduates!

This house is on the market for sale. What is a LEED Platinum home?

A home focused on many aspects to achieve high performance standards.

Energy Efficiency
- Lower Heating and Cooling Cost
- High Performance insulation and air sealing
- Efficient HVAC Equipment and Mechanical ventilation
- Better Windows

Indoor Air Quality
- Reduced pollutants and allergens
- Low VOC paints, sealants, floorings, and materials
- Moisture management to reduce mold risks

Water Efficiency
- Low flow plumbing fixtures
- Efficient landscaping and water management
- Reduced overall water consumption

Sustainable Construction
- Environmentally Conscious Materials
- Reduced Construction Waste
- Durable assemblies intended to last longer

Comfort and Performance
- Even consistent tempertures throughout the home
- Fewer drafts
- Quieter Indoor Environment

All the features have been well documented by the students and verified by our team of experts.

Living in this home will provide a noticeable level of comfort. This is far from a standard-built home, although, we are beginning to see more homes incorporate some of these high performance features. When these details are thoughtfully designed and properly executed, you can truly feel the difference in the overall comfort, efficiency and quality of the home.

Our team goes where most people would rather not — tight (hot in the summer) attic spaces to verify insulation installation and thermal envelope performance. It’s not glamorous work, though it’s critical to delivering accurate inspections, better comfort, and long term energy savings for home owners.

When completing the final HERS inspection, we conduct a blower door test to evaluate the air infiltration. In this particular home, the results showed extensive leakage. After examining the thermal envelope, we discovered a register cover with fiberglass insulation. After removing the cover, we found the duct had been completely disconnected from the attic side.

With multiple trades working in the attic space and it’s not uncommon for ducts to be accidentally dislodged. Thanks to our inspection, we were able to alert the builder and ensure the issue was corrected.

This photo shows a clear example of “wind washing”. The absence of proper blocking around the edge of the attic allows air to enter and displace the insulation, pushing it back from the edge of the ceiling. As a result, portions of the ceiling are left exposed and under insulated. Blocking along the soffit is critical to prevent wind washing and maintain thermal performance.

Over the years, we have learned to never trust a measuring stick in the attic, always double check with your own tape measure to ensure the insulation is blown to the correct height to achieve the desired R-Value.
