Notes to table
a. R-values are minimums. U-factors and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) are maximums.
b. The fenestration U-factor column excludes skylights. The SHGC column applies to all glazed fenestration.
c. The first R-value applies to continuous insulation which is allowed to be applied at the time of finishing the basement, the second to framing cavity insulation; either insulation meets the requirement.
d. R-5 shall be added to the required slab edge R-values for heated slabs.
g. Or insulation sufficient to fill the framing cavity, R-19 minimum.
h. “13+5” means R-13 cavity insulation plus R-5 insulated sheathing. If structural sheathing covers 25% or less of the exterior, R-5 sheathing is not required where structural sheathing is used. If structural sheathing covers more than 25% of exterior, structural sheathing shall be supplemented with insulted sheathing of at least R-2.
k. The second R-value applies when more than half of the insulation is on the interior.
l. The minimum R-value for ceilings is further based on a minimum 6-inch (152 mm) heel height to allow the ceiling insulation to extend over the top plate.
