Saving Energy With Scabbed Rafters | VLOG 019
Channel: GreenShortz + GreenHouse
Date: 2019-01-24

In this green building video I show the scabbed rafter detail on the GreenShortz + GreenHouse. A scabbed rafter is a shorter, smaller rafter extension (2x6) that extends through our Zip R-Board sheathing to provide the exposed rafter detail on our roofline. This allows the larger (2x10) to terminate inside the insulated sheathing, helping reducing the flow of heat through the wood structure of the house. This element of our green building strategy will help the house achieve LEED and Earthcraft certification.
