Photos from my Basement Wall Insulation Project, from 1994


See the attached PDF

Retrofitting Basement Wall insulation, 4 May 2008

for details on how I did this project.

The photos show the sequence of steps to get the basement walls insulated.


Eventually, I covered the basement walls with sheetrock.


(This PDF is EXACTLY the same document as is found elsewhere in this “Energy Conservation in Housing forum”  -- entitled “Retrofitting Basement Floor insulation, 4 May 2008”)


It has information about insulating basement walls -- as well as basement floors.


It is modified from the last several pages of my 1990 book, 

Energy Conservation in Housing -- 

A Collection of Data on

Energy-Efficient Housing Approaches


(That book has been out of print since 1996, but is available for free, in PDF format, on this website.)
