Reviewing a A frame house plan. Designer is using ResCheck 2018 IECC for insulation. they are calling the A frame side walls/roof "wall sloped". Shouldn't it be labeled "ceiling"?
And to complete the code path...The IRC and the IECC do not have a definition of an exterior wall that would help answer your question. However the IBC definition should help clarify how to label, for energy code compliance, if you are dealing with a wall or ceiling assembly.
2018 IBC
[BF] EXTERIOR WALL. A wall, bearing or nonbearing, that is used as an enclosing wall for a building, other than a fire wall, and that has a slope of 60 degrees (1.05 rad) or greater with the horizontal plane.
True, but that building also has a flat roof, and the mansard walls appear to be far steeper than 60*.I've seen a number of walls, particularly on "french mansards", that are clad with shingles.
No, but it would make sense. Where metric uses a base ten system, it would be logical for degrees to use it as well...Are there metric degrees in Canada?
