equipment must be provided.
Insulation R-values,glazing U-factors,and heating equipment efficiency must be clearly marked on
the building plans or specifications.
Duct Insulation:
Supply ducts in unconditioned attics or outside the building must be insulated to R-11
Return ducts in unconditioned attics or outside the building must be insulated to R-6,
Supply ducts in unconditioned spaces must be insulated to R-L1.
