Envelope

Building envelope constructions and performance are specified to meet the prescriptive requirements of the California Energy Code. Construction assemblies of the walls, roofs, and floors reflect typical construction assemblies in the Joint Appendices. Insulation thicknesses varied to meet the performance requirements for each climate zone. Window performance parameters (U-Factor, SHGC, and VT) were specified to meet the prescriptive requirements for each location and vintage.
