Meeting Building code the smart way - Ask me about this.
Overview
- By utilizing Black Bears Home energy modeling performance based approach we meet and exceed code with R-values that are substantially lower than the prescriptive approach. In Fact, Our REM program will typically show that a Spray foam house at the lower R-values will outperform the standard code home by 30-50%.
- If you are building a new home it will be very daunting to know that the R value requirements to meet the standard code have gone up once again and are now R60 in attics, R30 for exterior walls, and R 30 for basement/garage ceilings. Following these scheduled R values requires the following amount of spray foam to meet this new code - Attic/rafter – 8.5 inches closed cell, or 16 inches open cell - Walls - 4.5 inches closed cell - Basement or garage ceilings – 4.5 inches closed cell, or 8 inches open cell.
- This is why we, at Black Bear Spray Foam, have utilized and continue to utilize the prescriptive section of the code which allows us to significantly reduce the amount of spray foam required to meet code saving you thousands if not tens of thousands with no loss in performance. You will be provided all paperwork needed for your local building inspector to satisfy his/her needs upon inspection. We have done this countless times across the State of Ct and have NEVER failed an Inspection.
