Summary: Attic insulation photos for Package B
Contact with Questions: Keith Bohling, [email protected]                  

Comfort Home installations submitted for package B where attic gable walls are included must include photos. The photos must show the attic walls being insulated.  If attic wall insulation is added to insulate an adjacent conditioned space, the photos must show both the attic and the conditioned spaces.  For more details, please review the December 2024 contractor webinar slides here.
