Leonardo, NJ Kneewall Causing Hot & Cold Rooms

In Leonardo, NJ, this kneewall is allowing heat and air leakage to impact the second-floor rooms, making them too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. During summer, radiant heat from the roofline heats the kneewall space and rooms, while in winter, cold air infiltrates and conditioned air or heat escapes. By installing rigid foam boards along the roofline and wall, blocking the rafter bays, and dense-packing the roof slopes with cellulose insulation, we can create a continuous thermal and air barrier. This helps keep conditioned air inside the living space while preventing outdoor temperatures from affecting the home's comfort and efficiency.
