Insulation or air barrier missing?
Two story house with floor trusses and attached garage, room above garage.
A portion of the house is one story only. I am not sure if there should be blocking/air barrier and insulation in the area of the photo. The photo was taken from a scuttle opening in the single story portion of the home and the two story portion of the home is directly adjacent to that scuttle opening (the direction the photo was taken).
The garage ceiling is below the floor truss system, 2nd floor subfloor above.
The garage ceiling has insulation
There is no insulation/air barrier between the attic crawlspace the photo was taken from and the floor truss cavity.
My question is: Is there anything missing here? Should there be insulation and air barrier between the floor truss area and the attic space I was in?
Seems like the 2nd floor room above will be hot because of the hot attic air infiltrating the floor truss area.
