Envelope Requirements Summary, pg 2 ENV-REQ <br /> 2015 WSEC Compliance Forms for Commercial Buildings including R2,R3,&R4 over 3 stories and all R1 Revised Jun 2016 <br /> Definitions: <br /> Ls=Liner system-A continuous membrane installed below the purlins and uninterrupted by framing members.Uncompressed,unfaced <br /> insulation rests on top of the membrane between the purlins.Refer to Section A102.2.5.4. <br /> c.i.=Continuous insulation-Insulation that is continuous across all structural members without thermal bridges other than service <br /> openings and penetrations by metal fasteners with a x-sectional area of less than 0.04%of the opaque surface area of the assembly. <br /> Components with more than 0.04%metal penentrations may be eligible to follow the alternate CI values below. <br /> int=Intermediate framing--Includes insulated headers,comers and interior partition wall to exterior wall intersections.Refer to Section <br /> Al03.2 for framing definitions. <br /> Footnote Summary: <br /> Each table in the 2015 WSEC has footnotes applicable to specific information provided in the table.This footnote summary provides only <br /> abbreviated details from these footnotes. Refer to 2015 WSEC for complete footnote information. <br /> Note 1-Assembly descriptions can be found in Chapter 2 and Appendix A. <br /> Note 2-Use of assembly U-factors,C-fanominal ctors and F-factors from Appendix A and Chapter 3 are required unless otherwise allowed <br /> by the provisions of this Code. <br /> Note 3-For metal building roofs where using R-value compliance method,a thermal spacer block is required.Otherwise use the U-factor <br /> compliance method. <br /> Note 4-Where heated slabs are below-grade,below-grade walls shall comply with the exterior insulation requirements for heated slabs. <br /> Note 5-Heated slab F-factors shall be determined specifically for heated slabs.Unheated slab F-factors shall not be used. <br /> Note 6-CMU walls in all occupancies other than Group R may be eligible for reduced insulation if all provisions stated in applicable <br /> footnote are met.Refer to Footnote D in Table C402.1.4 or Footnote C in Table C402.1.3 for eligibility requirements. <br /> Note 7-Components with continuous insulation but with metal penetrations/connections may be eligible for alternate continuous <br /> insulation R-values if all provisions in applicable footnote are met. Refer to alternate prescriptive R-values in table below <br /> and Footnote F in Table C402.1.3 for eligibility requirements. <br /> Alternate continuous insulation nominal R-values <br /> This alternate nominal R-value compliance option is allowed for projects complying with all of the following: <br /> 1.The ratio of the cross-sectional area,as measured in the plane of the surface,of metal penetrations of otherwise continuous <br /> insulation to the opaque surface area of the assembly is greater than 0.0004(0.04%),but less than 0.0012(0.12%). <br /> 2.The metal penetrations of otherwise continuous insulation are isolated or discontinuous(e.g.,brick ties or other <br /> discontinuous metal attachments,offset brackets supporting shelf angles that allow insulation to go between the shelf <br /> angle and the primary portions of the wall structure).No continuous metal elements(e.g.,metal studs,z-girts,z-channels, <br /> shelf angles)penetrate the otherwise continuous portion of the insulation. <br /> 3.Building permit drawings shall contain details showing the locations and dimensions of all the metal penetrations(e.g., <br /> brick ties or other discontinuous metal attachments,offset brackets,etc.)of otherwise continuous insulation.In addition, <br /> calculations shall be provided showing the ratio of the cross-sectional area of metal penetrations of otherwise continuous <br /> insulation to the overall opaque wall area. <br /> Assemblies with :Alternate option for assemblies with Alternate option for assemblies with <br /> continuous metal penetrations,a eater than metal penetrations,greater than or <br /> insulation(see 0.04%but less than 0.0S% equal to 0.0S%hot less than 0.124 <br /> definition) <br /> R-9.Sci R-11.9ci R-13ci <br /> R-11.4d R-143ci R-15.7ci <br /> R-13.3ci R-16.6ci R-183ci <br /> R-1.>.2ci R-19.0d R-21ci <br /> R-34ci R-oto, R-42ci <br /> R-3Sa R—FScm R-53ci <br /> R-13-F.-7.Sci 3-13-R-9Ati R-13-R-]03ci <br /> R-13+R4Oci R-13-R-12.53 R-13—R-13.Sci <br /> R-13-R-123d R-13-R-15.6c R-13-R-1.ci <br /> R-13-R-13ci R-13 4 R-16.33 R-13—11-17.9a <br /> R-19-R-8.5ci R-19=R-10.6 i R-l9-R-i l.7ci <br /> R-19-R14ci R-19-R-17.53 R-19-R-19.2ci <br /> R-i9-R-16ci R-I9=R-20zi R-19-R-22ci <br /> R-20—R-3.Sci 5-20-R-4.8ci R-20.-R-5.'sci <br /> R-221-R-5ci -21-R-6.33 R-21÷R-6.9t: <br /> End of Envelope Requirements Summary <br /> ( /11 1) <br />
