Build Science 301! Staggered stud. Double stud. Two wall systems that deliver serious thermal performance—but neither is bulletproof without understanding the risks. More insulation shifts the dew point. More depth lowers sheathing temps. Airtightness becomes critical. If you don’t account for how these walls handle moisture, you’re setting yourself up for long-term failures. We’ve used both systems—and when they’re detailed right, they’re rock solid. @risingerbuild and @stevenbaczekarchitect la

Matt and Steve explore unvented roof assemblies, framed either on-site (cut roof) or off-site (truss), and explain how moisture control shifts away from the structure and onto building systems. With HVAC now inside conditioned space, these assemblies can be efficient—but only if detailed with airtightness and proper insulation ratios.

@risingerbuild and @stevenbaczekarchitect set up this second episode within the Foundation section of Build Science 301 by establishing that crawlspace and basement must address the same challenges. Jump in as they discuss how to prioritize solution details by first addressing water, then air, followed by vapor and thermal control.

Vented attics: simple, forgiving… and surprisingly easy to mess up. In this episode of Build Science 301, @risingerbuild and @stevenbaczekarchitect break down why cut and truss roofs dominate residential construction—and how to detail them for maximum performance. From airtight ceiling planes to smart vapor control and managing wind washing, this conversation is packed with real-world solutions. Bonus: ever heard of an “underground roof”? Yeah… they go there too. 🎥 Full episode now at TheBuildS

In this episode of Build Science 301, @risingerbuild and @stevenbaczekarchitect dig into two lesser-known foundation systems: pier-supported floors and ICFs. These “specialty” foundations can be game-changers for tricky sites—like steep slopes or high water exposure—but they come with their own design and performance challenges. Learn how to manage air, thermal, and water control the right way, and get practical tips to boost your confidence when working with these systems. Thanks to @arclin_off

🏗️ Build Science 301: Episode 1 is live! Three piece foundation and turned down slab @risingerbuild and @stevenbaczekarchitect kick things off by comparing slab-on-grade vs. turn-down-slab foundations. They introduce the episode format, review each assembly, tackle four key control layer challenges, and walk through smart detailing strategies to set each one up for success. A must-watch for anyone serious about better building. Thanks to @arclin_official @huberwood @andersen_windows_pros LINK I

Not all wall systems are created equal—and some set the bar so high, they reshape how we think about building altogether. @risingerbuild and @stevenbaczekarchitect break down two of the most legendary assemblies in the game: the Perfect Wall and the Larsen Truss. These aren’t just about stuffing more insulation into a cavity. We’re talking fully exterior insulation, centered air barriers, rainscreens dialed to climate, and the kind of moisture control that makes or breaks a build. You may never

What if your roof vented above the roof deck sheathing—and made your control layers easier to connect? Steve and Matt dig into two advanced approaches that simplify continuity: the Over Vent Cut Roof and the Monopoly Truss Roof. From strategic overhangs to airtight taping details, these assemblies make high performance more achievable. Bonus insights on SIPs, reno vs. new builds, and a reminder that building science isn’t optional—you’re doing it whether you know it or not! Thanks to @andersen_w
