This is Part 4 in the exclusive 8-part series of the "Better Homes, Better Future" podcast. Joe Nebbia from Newport Partners, LLC will discuss code requirements found in the prescriptive window and insulation requirements and how these requirements have changed through various code editions (2009-2021). Listeners will learn how to interpret the tables, understand different insulation types that comply and explore innovative examples. The episode will discuss how the code tables are intended to control conductive heat flow, and will explain how the code treats concepts like "effective R-value" and U-value. The episode will also discuss flexibility allowed through different compliance options within the prescriptive compliance path. This episode will cover IECC Climate Zones 6, 7, and 8 while previous modules covered other climate zones.
