        "text": "Framing significantly impacts the energy efficiency of a small addition by creating the cavity space for insulation. The type of framing, such as advanced framing techniques (e.g., optimal value engineering), can minimize thermal bridging and maximize insulation R-value within the wall cavities. Proper framing allows for continuous insulation, sealing gaps, and preventing air leakage, all of which are crucial for maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures and reducing heating and cooling costs in your new space.",
