Building Energy Code Requirements Presented by: The leader in metal building insulation
ASHRAE 90.1 2004 Commercial Code: ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-2004, mandatory statewide; can use COMcheck-EZ to show compliance.
ASHRAE 90.1 2004Georgia • Heated (condition buildings) • Roofs and Ceilings: U value of .065 • Walls: U value of .113 • In “R” value terms it means the following: • Roofs and Ceilings: In place R-15.3 • Walls: In place R-9
Insulation compression and reduction of R-Values A loss in R-Value occurs when the insulation is compressed between the roof and walls structurals and the exterior metal skin.
Metal Building Roof Requirements Conditioned Building In order to achieve a U-Value of .065 (in place R-15.3) in the roof the following is required • 6” of R-19 metal building fiberglass insulation • Thermal Blocks – are required • This will achieve an in place R-value of R-15.4
Metal Building Wall Requirements Conditioned Building In order to achieve a U-Value of .113 (in place R-8.9) in the walls the following is required • 4” of R-13 metal building fiberglass insulation • Thermal Blocks – not required • This assembly will achieve an in-place R-Value of R-8.9
ASHRAE 90.1 2004Georgia • Semi-Heated • Roofs and Ceilings: U value of .167 • Atlanta area: U value of .097 • Walls: U value of .184 • In “R” value terms it means the following: • Roofs and Ceilings: In place R-6 • Atlanta area: In place R-10 • Walls: In place R-5.5
Metal Building Roof Requirements Semi-Heated Building In order to achieve a U-Value of .184 (in place R-6) in the roof the following is required • 3” Thick of R-10 metal building fiberglass insulation • Thermal Blocks – are not required • This will achieve an in place R-value of R-6.5 • Atlanta: In Place R-Value of R-10.3 • Need to use 6” of R-19 insulation w/o thermal blocks to achieve a in place R-value of R-10.2 • Or in a Standing Seam Roof 3” of R-10 insulation with thermal blocks to achieve a in place R-value of R-10.3
Metal Building Wall Requirements Semi-Heated Building In order to achieve a U-Value of .184 (in place R-5.5) in the walls the following is required • 3” of R-10 metal building fiberglass insulation • Thermal Blocks – not required • This assembly will achieve an in-place R-Value of R-7
