exterior siding and trim considerations for eps sheathed house

| Posted in Construction Techniques on
Can anyone tell me how to handle the trim details when a house is to be wrapped in 1.5″ eps, the eps serving as air barrier and drainage plane? Or direct me to a site that can? My understanding now is that I’ll be wrapping the rough openings with .5″ ply that extends to the eps exterior, installing my windows, adding rainscreen, and then… what, merely nailing my trim to the rainscreen? Thanks for your time. Marc
