|
Exception: Unfinished basements may have up to a maximum of
twenty percent (20%) of the total basement wall area exposed above

basement wall height of all walls (including insulated exterior frame
walls for walkout basements and walls common to both basement and
attached garages) times the perimeter of these basement walls]. In
unfinished areas, the basement foundation wall insulation shall extend
down to the basement floor slab or to a minimum of twenty-four (24)
inches below outside finished grade when the grade is above the floor
slab elevation.

building), the building shall be considered in compliance with Table
N1102.1.2. The UA calculation shall be done using a method consistent
with the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals and shall include the thermal
bridging effects of framing materials. The SHGC requirements shall
be met in addition to UA compliance.

home to use shaded vertical fenestration. The projection factor of
an overhang, eave, or permanently attached shading device shall be
greater than or equal to the value listed in Table N1102.2.2.1 for
the appropriate orientation. The minimum projection shall extend beyond
