Dear Mr. O'Brien,
In response to your e-mail regarding the Change in Scope of Work at Addiction Care Center we offer the
following:
We have reached out to the Department of State Code Division and they advised us to forgo the use of
CornCheck and instead use the U Values requirements listed in the Energy Code.
Using Table C402.1.4
Walls
Walls, above grade
Climate Zone 6 I-1 Occupancy
The Maximum U Factor is 0.051 Our U Value is 0.033 Exceeds requirements
Wall insulation consists of:
• 1%:"Closed Cell Spray Foam insulation R.6 per inch
• R21 Batt Insulation
Roofs
Climate Zone 6 I-1 Occupancy
The Maximum U Factor is 0.021 Our U Value is 0.0204
Our Attic insulation consists of R49 batt insulation Exceeds requirements

All envelope components meet or exceed the Code minimums. We have also attached a cross section of
the building indicating the R values of the insulation.
Air Sealing and a Blower test will be performed
CamRoden Associates will be the agency entrusted with the blower test.
Air sealing will be done prior to insulation.
Should you have any concerns or questions please contact our office.

Thermal Performance

Thermal Transmission Terms
The following terms are used in describing thermal properties of building products:
BTU-The BTU(British Thermal Unit)is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahren-
heit. The BTU is used to measure the amount of heat just as the inch or foot is used to measure length.
K-Factor-The measure of thermal conductivity or amount of heat transferred(measured in BTU's)in one hour through one square foot
of a single material which is one inch thick for a difference of one degree Fahrenheit between the two surfaces. THE LOWER THE"K"
FACTOR the more effective the insulation of the material.
U-Factor-The total or overall transmission of heat through a combination of materials assembly measured in BTU's per hour per square
foot of area for a difference in temperature of 1°F between the air on one side to the air on the other side. THE LOWER THE"U"VALUE
the more effective the insulation of the material.
R-Factor-The resistance or ability to retard heat flow(as opposed to ability to transmit heat)of any single material determined by
the reciprocal of its conductivity. R=1/U or t/K,where t is the thickness of the material involved. THE GREATER THE"R"FACTOR
(or resistance),the more effective the insulation of the material.
All"K"and"U"factor values are expressed in BTU's/hr-ft2°F(W/m2 K). Materials possessing low"K"and"U"factor values are more
efficient insulators than those with higher values.
Helpful conversion factors:
"R"= „U„ = "K" (where t is the material thickness in inches and the products are of uniform composition)
"U"= (Rx is for each material layer)
R1+R2+,..+etc.
Energy Efficient Solutions
Similar to most other building products manufacturers,the Steel Door Institute has encouraged the practice of citing a calculated value
for thermal performance of the cores in the doors(U and R Values).While this remains the industry standard,we are seeing more specs
with the latest standards for thermal transmittance(ASTM C1363)and air infiltration(ASTM E283).Note,ASTM C1363
is the most current test standard for thermal transmittance and replaces ASTM C236.
You will see significant differences between the calculated core values(ASTM C518)and the operable door assembly values as
door and frame construction varies.Design professionals are beginning to see these variances in other building products such as wall
partitions(an industry that has already begun to move from calculated to operable values).We believe it's important you and your cus-
tomers understand the operable performance levels of the opening assemblies you purchase along with the calculated core values.
