HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, August 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Proper crawl space insulation is a vital energy-saving measure that fortifies home comfort, enhances indoor air quality, and mitigates moisture-related risks. This guide—"How to Insulate a crawl space"—provides homeowners with a clear, practical approach to one of the most important yet often overlooked aspects of home insulation.

Why Crawl Space Insulation Matters

Boosts energy efficiency and lowers utility bills: Poorly insulated crawl spaces are a major source of heat loss and gain, raising energy costs and burdening HVAC systems

Reduces moisture and mold risk: Crawl spaces are particularly vulnerable to condensation, mold, decay, and structural damage stemming from high subsurface moisture

Enhances indoor air quality: By sealing this critical boundary, crawl space insulation helps prevent the infiltration of allergens and pollutants into living areas

Challenges Unique to Crawl Spaces

Soil moisture and vapor diffusion: Ground moisture can migrate upward into the space due to vapor pressure differences

Condensation and air infiltration: Warm indoor air hitting cooler foundation surfaces can foster condensation, while even minor gaps can introduce moisture and air leaks


Step-by-Step Guide: “How to Insulate a crawl space”

1. Address Moisture First

Begin by assessing and remedying water intrusion. Installing a vapor barrier is essential to manage moisture before insulation is applied


2. Select Appropriate Insulation

Rigid Foam Board (walls): Well-suited for crawl space walls due to moisture resistance, though require precise sealing in irregular spaces

Fiberglass Batts (ceiling): Can be used between floor joists but may absorb moisture over time and lose effectiveness

Prodex Total (walls, ceiling and ground): Well-suited for crawlspace walls, ceiling and ground due to moisture resistance, flexibility, ease of install.


3. Seal Air Leaks

Use caulk or spray foam to seal gaps and joints prior to insulation installation to maximize energy efficiency and moisture control


4. Install Insulation Properly

Ceiling method: Fasten insulation between or below floor joists to block heat transfer and moisture

Wall method: Attach using staples or screws to ceiling or walls. Insulation can also be directly applied to concrete wall with a combination of glue and double sided tape.

Ground coverage (optional): Roll out insulation over the crawl space floor to serve as an additional vapor and moisture barrier


Benefits of Following This Crawl Space Insulation Guide

Improved thermal performance: Proper installation retards heat exchange, enhancing comfort and reducing energy consumption.
Long-term protection: Moisture control preserves structural integrity and reduces mold-related concerns.

Versatility and adaptability: Options suit both ventilated and unventilated crawl spaces and can be adapted to diverse home layouts

CASA and The Hope Center at Pullen Develop Affordable Housing for Emerging Adults Aging Out of Foster Care

Hope Village at Method construction underwayPartnership opens door to this first-of-its-kind Raleigh projectThe Hope Village at Method will provide young adults aging out of foster care with a support system they can lean on – one that will help them establish a strong, dependable foundation for adulthood.”— NC Representative Deborah RossRALEIGH, NC, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CASA and The Hope Center at Pullen have announced the completion and opening of Hope Village at Method, a first-of-its-kind permanent supportive housing community designed specifically for emerging adults aging out of foster care.The nine-unit development, located in Raleigh, combines CASA’s affordable housing expertise with The Hope Center’s comprehensive support model for children in and aging out of foster care. It is the first CASA NC property built exclusively in partnership with a single referral agency.Nationally, 43% of youth who age out of foster care report experiencing homelessness by age 21, often more than once. Hope Village at Method aims to disrupt that trajectory by offering both stability and a pathway to self-sufficiency.“The Hope Village at Method will provide young adults aging out of foster care with a support system they can lean on – one that will help them establish a strong, dependable foundation for adulthood,” said Congresswoman Deborah Ross. “It’s significant that these apartments are located in the Method community – an area of Raleigh that has historically stood as a beacon of hope and resilience. I was honored to secure $1 million in federal funding to help bring this project to life, and I look forward to seeing the lives it will change.”Hope Village at Method provides remarkably affordable housing for emerging adults aging out of foster care, with residents paying 30% of their monthly income toward rent, supported by foster youth housing vouchers. All residents are current clients of The Hope Center at Pullen, which provides long-term support for those in the foster care system, offering services centered around education, employment, mental health, parenting, and life skills.CASA will own and manage the building, and a Hope Center at Pullen staff member will support community-building and peer connection as the live-in resident advisor. Residents will also have access to common outdoor space and ongoing case management through The Hope Center at Pullen’s transition program.Hope Village at Method was made possible through funding from U.S. Rep. Deborah Ross, the City of Raleigh, Wake County, and numerous foundations and individual donors. The site was originally a CASA-owned property that was rezoned and redeveloped into its current form beginning in 2023.The name “Hope Village at Method” was chosen by The Hope Center’s Youth Advisory Board, made up of current and former clients who helped shape the vision of the project.A ribbon-cutting celebration is scheduled for August 20th, with guests including city and county officials, donors, and community partners. Media are welcome to attend.

D. Joński: Europa musi chronić swój rynek poprzez cła i wysokie standardy bezpieczeństwa dla importowanych towarów. Powinniśmy budować własny przemysł oparty na tańszej energii

Tańsza energia, a przez to niższe koszty produkcji w Europie to jeden z kierunków, który wskazuje Unia Europejska w rywalizacji z tanimi towarami z Azji, głównie z Chin. Jednocześnie rynek Starego Kontynentu powinien być chroniony poprzez zbalansowane cła oraz wysokie standardy bezpieczeństwa stawiane importowanym produktom. Zdaniem europosła Dariusza Jońskiego ważne jest rozwijanie przemysłu w Europie bez względu na narodowość właścicieli. Relacje z Chinami muszą zostać na nowo zdefiniowane i przebiegać na równych zasadach.

Poprawia się jakość raportów dużych spółek giełdowych dotyczących zrównoważonego rozwoju. Pozostają też obszary do dopracowania

Ekspertki i eksperci z Deloitte’​a przeprowadzili analizę ujawnień taksonomicznych spółek notowanych na Giełdzie Papierów Wartościowych, która objęła sprawozdania z działalności za rok 2024 w części dotyczącej zrównoważonego rozwoju. To trzeci rok ujawniania stopnia zgodności przedsiębiorstw z Taksonomią Unii Europejskiej, co przekłada się na zwiększoną jakość i porównywalność prezentowanych danych. Jednocześnie można oczekiwać, że inwestycje zgodne z Taksonomią będą coraz istotniejszym elementem strategii rozwoju przedsiębiorstw w kolejnych latach.
