They emphasize the importance of durability over insulation values in certain areas, explaining why moving insulation to the interior can protect exposed concrete and critical junctions. The conversation highlights water, air, and vapor management strategies, including the use of ZIP System sheathing and closed-cell spray foam, while also discussing alternatives for builders who prefer different insulation methods.
