This is a great question! I urge everyone to put exteiror insulation on their homes if they're building new (even in hot climates), so why didn't I do it for my own new home? Exterior insulation is rigid insulation that goes on the outside of your exterior walls, behind the siding. You can also put exterior insulation on your roof, but this question is specific about the walls.
