compliance avvroach used. Excevtions may avvly. Review the respective code section for more information.
Building Envelope Measures:
§I 10.6(a)1:
Doors and windows between conditioned and unconditioned spaces are manufactured to limit air leakage.
§ 110.6(a)5:
Fenestration products (except field -fabricated windows) have a label listing the certified U -Factor, certified Solar Heat Gain
Coefficient (SHGC , and infiltration that meets the requirements of §10-111(a).
§ 110.7:
Exterior doors and windows are weatherstripped; all joints and penetrations are caulked and sealed.
§ I I0.8(a):
Insulation specified or installed meets Standards for Insulating Material. Indicate type and include on the CF2R.
§ 110.8(i):
The thermal emittance and aged solar reflectance values of the cool roofing material meets the requirements of § 110.8(i) when the
installation of a cool roof is specified on the CFIR.
§110.80):
A radiant barrier shall have an emittance of 0.05 or less when the installation of a radiant barrier is specified on the CFI R.
Minimum R-30 insulation in wood -frame ceiling; or the weighted average U -factor shall not exceed 0.031. Minimum R-19 in a
§150.0(a):
rafter roof alteration. Attic access doors shall have permanently attached insulation using adhesive or mechanical fasteners. The
attic access shall be gasketed to prevent air leakage.
§150.0(b):
Loose fill insulation shall conform with manufacturer's installed design labeled R -value.
§ 150.0(c):
Minimum R-13 insulation in 2x4 inch wood framing wall or have a U -factor of 0.102 or less (R-19 in 2x6 or 0.074 maximum U -
factor).
§I50.0(d):
Minimum R-19 insulation in raised wood -frame floor or 0.037 maximum U -factor.
§150.0(g)1:
In Climate Zones 14 and 16 a Class II vapor retarder shall be installed on the conditioned space side of all insulation in all exterior
walls, vented attics and unvented attics with air -permeable insulation.
§ 150.0(8)2:
In Climate Zones 1-16 with unvented crawl spaces the earth floor of the crawl space shall be covered with a Class I or Class 11
vapor retarder.
In a building having a controlled ventilation crawl space, a Class I or Class II vapor retarder shall be placed over the earth floor of
§ 150.0(g)3:
the crawl space to reduce moisture entry and protect insulation from condensation, as specified in the exception to Section
150.0(d).
§ 150.0(1):
