2013 Code: Residential Package A Prescriptive Standard– Assembly U‐Factor of 0.065 in all climate zones– Typically : R‐15 + 4, 2x4 @ 16oc or R‐19 + 2, 2x6 @ 16oc

2016 Code: Residential Package A Prescriptive Standard– Assembly U‐Factor of 0.051 in all climate zones except CZ 6 & 7

Prescriptive change: performance tradeoffs will be possible and common.

Moisture Management

High R value walls are vulnerable to condensation

Page 27: 2016 Code Readiness - CAHP...Microsoft PowerPoint - CAHP-CMFNH_AdvancedWalls_100515 Author: NBeaulieu Created Date: 10/8/2015 12:55:58 PM

Exterior Bulk Water Management

Best Practices– Flashing of all penetrations to the primary weather resistive 

barrier (WRB). – Bond break at minimum so WRB is not coated with stucco– Provide a drainage gap for bulk water and solar driven vapor 

moisture that can occur on stucco after wind driven rain.

Prevent Interior Moisture Migration

– Implement impeccable air sealing in the walls from the interior.– Air leakage of moist interior air into the walls has the highest 

potential for moisture delivery into the walls.   90x higher

Drying Potential of Assemblies

Walls must have drying potential and vapor permeable in one direction, drying to the inside or outside

Best practice is to be vapor permeable in both directions– If you use a product with a Perm Rating of <0.1 it is not vapor 

permeable and you are shutting down drying in that direction

Be careful when choosing exterior foam products.  – Perm Ratings vary with thickness of foam.  Ratings are given per 

inch, 2” of foam halves the perm rating.– If exterior rigid on the outside is impermeable make sure your 

wall can dry to the inside.  Use inside:– Vapor semi‐impermeable PVA primer and latex paint or– Smart vapor retarder31
