below grade


Explanation:
below ground level

Assume an 8-ft. basement is to be built on a slope so that the front wall is 7 ft. below grade and the rear wall is totally above grade. The ground level along both side walls is sloped so that approximately 50% of each wall is *below grade*. The rear basement wall will be wood-frame construction with R-19 cavity insulation. The other three walls will be concrete walls with R-10 rigid insulation. All four walls will be fully insulated.
