***IECC Compliance Options for Wood-Frame Wall Assemblies***** Updated for 2018 IECC **
IECC Compliance Options for Wood-Frame Wall Assemblies has been updated by APA and the International Code Council (ICC) to include several examples of wood-frame wall assemblies that comply with the R20 and R13-5 prescriptive requirements of the 2009, 2012, 2015 and 2018 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). The publication provides tips and recommendations that help builders construct energy-code-compliant wood walls using continuous wood structural panel wall sheathing.
Available as a free download, this guide describes how energy performance is measured in exterior wood wall assemblies and how to improve wall thermal performance to meet energy code requirements. Also provided are recommendations for reducing material costs by increasing the use of lower-cost cavity insulation, optimizing material usage with easy-to-apply advanced framing techniques, and boosting thermal performance with insulated headers and siding.
