A wall construction suitable for exterior load bearing walls includes spaced studding positioned vertically between upper and lower plates with the inner surfaces of the studs scalloped so as to present limited areas of contact with lath and plaster or drywall. Insulating board is positioned on the outer continuous surface of the studs with a foam board affixed directly thereto. Siding or the like is positioned on the exterior of the foam board to form the exterior surface of the wall. Insulating bats are positioned within the wall cavity adjacent the insulating board and between the spaced studding. Openings are provided in the interior wall surface to circulate warm air in the interior of the wall cavity. Additional openings are provided in the lower plate of the wall to allow air to circulate from a basement area into the wall cavity. The spaced transversely positioned scallops in the inner surface of the studding substantially isolates the interior wall from the exterior insulating board, foam and exterior siding.
