Needed: Case Studies on exterior

GBA Editor | Posted in Green Building Techniques on

I am currently living in a 1940’s double brick house that I would like to insulate and “reskin” from the exterior. I have seen many “deep energy retrofit” case studies that have added a new building envelope from the outside of the building. However, none of them involved brick houses. Does anybody have any case studies they could share? Wall details with insulation and moisture management details would be great! Thanks!
