I just purchased a 1700 sf home with concrete block walls, and concrete slab on grade floor. This home was built in 1948 and I believe the cells of the block are filled with vermiculite. This home is bermed into a hill on the north and west side and has ceiling to floor windows on the east and south side. I am considering adding EIFS to the exterior both to update the homes appearance and to add insulation.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I currently have for an R value and what I should be shooting for with the new siding?
I am going to replace all the windows and doors.
