GBlist: Framing System Study / Sheathing guidance
Note: John Spears is not now with ECM, but maintains his own private
practice in resource efficient design (http://www.sustainabledesign.com)
The ECM contact you seek is Doug Long, PE, (410-332-0644) or
Brian Curran, President, for more information on the study.
Additional information on the ramifications of exterior foam
plastic sheathing is contained in the _Builders Guide_ prepared
by Joe Lstiburek for EEBA; pg. 209, 219.
See: http://www.eeba.org/publish.htm
As far as cost information is concerned, local costs will always
differ from the cost books even when corrected with "factors" they
use to normalize between economies and geography. A builder is
best advised to study the costs in their local area, and include
other factors related to resource efficiency in the selection
criteria. See back issues of _Environmental Building News_ for a
listing of these factors.
