What type of truss design allows for full insulation thickness at wall-to-roof corners?

The Energy Heel truss design is specifically engineered to provide a higher heel at the wall-to-roof connection, which allows for full insulation thickness in those critical corners. This feature is essential in enhancing the energy efficiency of a building by minimizing thermal bridging and ensuring that the insulation remains continuous even at the junction of the walls and roof.

Traditional and standard trusses typically do not have this extended heel, which can result in reduced insulation depth in the corners, leading to potential energy loss. A hip truss, while effective for certain roof designs, does not inherently provide the benefits associated with the energy heel, particularly regarding insulation depth. Thus, the Energy Heel truss design is the most effective option for achieving optimal insulation performance at wall-to-roof intersections.
