What is the heel of the truss?

[Edit]

Answer

The heel of the truss is the end of the truss that sets on the exterior wall. If you've been shopping for trusses, you've probably heard the term: " Energy Heel" An energy heel is taller than other heels to give you room for insulation, you will want to order your trusses with an energy heel if you plan on heating the strucure. Hope this helps
