BUILDING METHODS TO CONTROL HEAT FLOW
EXTERNAL RIGID FOAM BOARD < 2”
• Advantage: shifts the wooden frame to the inner side of the house
• But requires a high R-value to be efficient
Ex. R5 XPS + R15 Fiberglass, 70F inside, 20F outside 32F on external sheathing (cold!)
• Requires a drainage plane between the sheathing and the insulation
• Complex details at windows/doors and sidewall penetrations
• Cold climates:
XPS or Polyiso: block moisture diffusion towards outside in winter can trap moisture
Concerns with interior Vapor retarder combined with vapor-barrier exterior insulation
If external insulation has to be used, dense Mineral Wool is preferred (safer)
• Hot and humid climates:
Dense foams preferred (EPS, XPS, Polyiso… block moisture from outside)

• Challenges attaching cladding and
windows
• Additional anchoring points for cladding
required (larger bending momentum)
• Limited choice of siding (stucco, fiber
cement)
• Can be cost prohibitive in single family
applications

• Can be used both in residential and
commercial applications (more
common)
• More common in applications
incorporating cladding that wouldn’t be
impacted by foam surface
inconsistency (e.g. bricks, stucco…)

This means properly installed and high-quality insulation that:• Reduces heat transfer to improve comfort
• Protects homes from moisture damage which improves durability
BUT HOW CAN WE CONTROL HEAT FLOW…

INEFFECTIVE INSULATION
• Misaligned insulation causing gaps and voids. This can cause comfort problems in the home by allowing unwanted air flow.
• Pipes compressing insulation reduce the thermal value and effectiveness.

North Carolina
• Commercial Amendments – Less efficient than 2015 IECC and ASHRAE 90.1 -2007
• Table C402.1.3 – R-value requirements• Weakens metal building roof requirements in CZ3. • Increases wood frame ceiling requirements for CZ 4 and CZ5 to R42 (light
commercial). • Add new row of requirements for steel framed roofs. • Increases mass wall R-value in CZ5. • Revises metal building walls to generally less stringent (although All Other in CZ3 is
slightly more stringent). • C402.2.5 – slab insulation protection requirements eliminated. • C403.2.9 – Duct leakage – equations modified.

North Carolina
• Residential Amendments – Less efficient than 2015 IECC
• R403.3 – Duct Leakage Testing (new exception) – duct systems smaller than 750 ft2 do
not have to be tested. This exception excludes small duct systems and thus represents a
weakening of the code.
• R406.2 – ERI Mandatory requirements (modification) – change mandatory duct insulation
from R-6 to R-8 or R-4 or R-0, depending on location of ducts.
• R402.1.1 – Vapor retarder – deleted.
• Table R402.1.2 – R-values – Mixed bag – some up some down, although mostly down. .
• Table R402.1.4 – U-factors – same mixed bag, but mostly decrease in stringency.
• R402.2. Air leakage testing – weakens requirements for NC from 3 to 5 ACH50.
• R403.3 – Duct Insulation – modifies duct requirements with some up and some down.
• R403.3 – Duct Tightness – weakens duct leakage from 5 to 4 for total leakage.
