## Thoughts to Discuss
66
- HVAC vent location
67
- Ceiling vents more efficient for cooling.
68
- Ducting will go in attic space (Less options for vaulted ceilings)
614d29 Joe 2026-01-08 14:19:11 69
- Type of foundation?
70
- Crawl space
71
- Slab on grade
72
- ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms
73
- Concrete block and beam
74
- If crawl space is encapsulated do we need to worry about rot and pests?
