Sefaira Continuous Insulation at Exterior

Hi There -

I’m trying to use Sefaira to show my clients the benefits of a continuous insulation barrier at the exterior of a wall system. This is in comparison to a wood stud wall with the wood studs all the way through the wall cavity, which would create a thermal bridge at every stud. Is there any way to do this in Sefaira? It would be great if there is!

Unfortunately not, unless you want to perform a weighted average of the R_value of the wall (With and Without continuous insulation).

Hi Timo-
the only way to do that would be to manually calculate the averaged U or R values for both options, create two concepts, and plug those values in two different concepts. From the drop down I would choose the stud wall for both concepts.
