Insulation spacer devices, methods and related construction techniques are provided. An exemplary device may include a body having a plurality of openings defining an openwork, to allow the passage of air therethrough when placed in contact with insulation material. The device may further include a plurality of spacer struts and/or spacing depressions fixedly attached to the body. The struts may be configured to maintain a predetermined distance between a first side of the insulation material and a building surface. The body and struts act together to define and maintain a space between the first side of the insulation material and the building surface, for example, for ventilation. The building surface can be the bottom face of a roof, an insulated attic floor, wall sheathing or a soundproofed demising wall, for example. The spacer device can be capable of being transported and stored together with, or as a separate item from, the insulation material, and can also be stored in nested layers. The device can also be stored in rolled form. The openwork of the device can additionally or alternatively include a sheet of Entangled net filaments or other similar material.

1. A system adapted and configured to ventilate thermal insulation in a roof structure of a building, comprising: a) a plurality of spaced apart rafters forming at least a portion of a roof structure;b) structural paneling material applied to the structure proximate an outer surface of the rafters,
1. A system adapted and configured to ventilate thermal insulation in a roof structure of a building, comprising: a) a plurality of spaced apart rafters forming at least a portion of a roof structure;b) structural paneling material applied to the structure proximate an outer surface of the rafters, wherein an inner face of the structural paneling material defines an inwardly-facing interior building surface;c) thermal insulation material disposed between the rafters; andd) a spacer disposed along substantially the entire length of the thermal insulation material and interposed at least partially between the interior building surface and the thermal insulation material, the spacer acting to define a ventilation channel between the interior building surface and the thermal insulation material, the spacer having a body defining a plurality of openings therethrough, wherein the openings are adapted and configured to permit the transfer of moisture therethrough between the insulation material and air passing through the ventilation channel to facilitate the ventilation of the thermal insulation material, and further wherein the spacer includes an elongate generally planar body formed from a sheet of material defining a plurality of raised structures formed in the sheet material that act to separate the spacer from the interior building surface. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein at least some of the raised structures define at least one opening therethrough to facilitate ventilation of the insulation. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the raised structures that define at least one opening therethrough include a planar land displaced from the body connected to the body by a plurality of struts. 4. The system of claim 2, wherein the at least one opening is partially defined through the raised structure, and partially through the generally planar body. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the generally planar body is thermoformed polymeric material. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the generally planar body is defined by a plurality of elongate corrugations, wherein at least some of the elongate corrugations define some of the openings therethrough. 7. A system adapted and configured to ventilate thermal insulation in a wall structure of a building, comprising: a) a plurality of spaced apart studs forming at least a portion of a wall structure;b) structural paneling material applied to the structure proximate an outer surface of the studs, wherein an inner face of the structural paneling material defines an inwardly-facing interior building surface;c) thermal insulation material disposed between the studs; andd) a spacer disposed along substantially the entire length of the insulation material and interposed at least partially between the interior building surface and the thermal insulation material, the spacer acting to define a ventilation channel between the interior building surface and the thermal insulation material, the spacer having a body defining a plurality of openings therethrough, wherein the openings are adapted and configured to permit the transfer of moisture therethrough between the insulation material and air passing through the ventilation channel to facilitate the ventilation of the thermal insulation material, and further wherein the spacer includes an elongate generally planar body formed from a sheet of material defining a plurality of raised structures formed in the sheet material that act to separate the spacer from the interior building surface. 8. The system of claim 7, further comprising: a) a first opening defined in the building structure proximate the bottom of the studs to permit fluid communication between the ventilation channel and air outside the structure; andb) a second opening defined in the building structure above the first opening to permit fluid communication between the ventilation channel and air outside the structure, wherein the first opening, second opening and ventilation channel cooperate to permit air outside the structure to circulate into and out of the ventilation channel to facilitate ventilation of the thermal insulation material. 9. The system of claim 7, wherein at least some of the raised structures define at least one opening therethrough to facilitate ventilation of the insulation. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the raised structures that define at least one opening therethrough include a planar land displaced from the body connected to the body by a plurality of struts. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein the at least one opening is partially defined through the raised structure, and partially through the generally planar body. 12. The system of claim 7, wherein the generally planar body is thermoformed polymeric material. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the generally planar body is defined by a plurality of elongate corrugations, wherein at least some of the elongate corrugations define some of the openings therethrough. 14. A system adapted and configured to ventilate insulation disposed inside a wall structure of a building, comprising: a) a plurality of spaced apart studs forming at least a portion of a wall structure;b) structural paneling material applied to the structure proximate a first surface of the studs, the structural paneling material defining an inner face disposed toward the studs and an outer face disposed away from the studs;c) insulation material disposed between the studs; andd) a spacer disposed along substantially the entire length of the insulation material and interposed at least partially between the inner face and the insulation material, the spacer acting to define a ventilation channel between the inner face and the insulation material, the spacer having a body defining a plurality of openings therethrough, wherein the openings are adapted and configured to permit the transfer of moisture therethrough between the insulation material and air passing through the ventilation channel to facilitate the ventilation of the insulation material, and further wherein the spacer includes an elongate generally planar body formed from a sheet of material defining a plurality of raised structures formed in the sheet material that act to separate the spacer from the interior building surface. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein at least some of the raised structures define at least one opening therethrough to facilitate ventilation of the insulation. 16. The system of claim 14, wherein the at least one opening is partially defined through the raised structure, and partially through the generally planar body. 17. The system of claim 14, wherein the generally planar body is thermoformed polymeric material. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the generally planar body is defined by a plurality of elongate corrugations, wherein at least some of the elongate corrugations define some of the openings therethrough. 19. The system of claim 14, wherein the wall is an interior wall of a structure. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the insulation material is sound insulation material.
