1. A building comprising:
- (a) a sloped roof comprising an insulated roof assembly;
(b) a generally horizontally arranged flooring assembly comprising an end thereof that is arranged over a wall structure and under the sloped roof assembly;
(c) a sloped member that is arranged over the end of the flooring assembly that is over the wall structure, and(d) a rigid foam insulation member arranged in a cavity of the roof assembly so as to bridge a lower surface of a rigid foam insulation board in the roof assembly to the sloped member,wherein the insulated roof assembly comprises;
(1) a sheathing panel comprising an upper surface and a lower surface;
(2) a plurality of I-joists positioned in a generally parallel relationship to each other, the I-joists comprising;
(i) an upper flange,(ii) a lower flange, and(iii) a web extending between the upper flange and the lower flange,wherein the lower surface of the sheathing panel faces an upper surface of the upper flange of the I-joists so that the sheathing panel and the I-joists define the cavity;
(3) a generally planar first rigid foam insulation board comprising;
(i) an upper surface,(ii) a lower surface,(iii) a first side, and(iv) a second side that is opposite of the first side,wherein the first rigid foam insulation board is positioned in the cavity such that;
(i) the upper surface of the first side of the first rigid foam insulation board faces the lower surface of the upper flange of a first I-joist,(ii) the upper surface of the second side of the first rigid foam insulation board faces the lower surface of the upper flange of a second I-joist,(iii) an edge of the first side of the first rigid foam insulation board faces the web of the first I-joist, and(vi) an edge of the second side of the first rigid foam insulation board faces the web of the second I-joist.
