FHB House Footing Pour
Performance building starts at grade level.
Although most people focus on wall and attic/roof insulation, energy-efficient construction is a whole-house concept, and it starts at the foundation. In this short video, builder Mike Guertin discusses the details that will ensure the FHB House foundation won’t become a weak link in the overall performance of this new house.
Here is more information on the FHB House foundation:

Somewhat misleading title - could have been better titled "Frost-Protected Footing".
So, is the video still available? Won't run on Safari browser?
Video doesn't play on Firefox either.
Sorry for the viewing problem. We initially posted a low resolution version of the video, and today I swapped that out to put in an HD version. I think you tried to play the video during the transition. It should be fine now. Thanks!
