Insulation and Air Sealing - Field Application of the Energy Code

Thanks for viewing one of our lessons in our Field Application of the Energy Code Series. This group of mini-lessons was created to provide a little information about how the 2021 IECC is being put into practice. This video covers a couple of common insulation topics covered in the 2021 Energy Code
This series was created through a collaboration between Shaunna Mozingo from Mozingo Code Group, Robby Schwarz from BUILDTank inc., and produced by TEACHconstruction.org

I’m in Parker county, TX which I believe is climate zone 3. Is it possible to meet 2021 insulation code with open cell spray foam in a 2x4 wall?

It sure is. I have to stop myself from calling it out on the video.

A big multi unit building like that needs a sturdy column that’s for sure….haha

I especially like the sprinkler system they have set up in that 8x5 bathroom
