Mr. Inspector
SAWHORSE
I have a insulator that is trying to shove this Rem/Design simulated performance approach to insulate a house. It is foam insulation with only R21 in the cieling and R14 in walls.
I sent him this letter:
I have reviewed your fax dated 1/28/2013 about insulation in the above property indicating using a “Simulated Performance Approach” as allowed in the 2009 IECC.
Act 45 of the PA-UCC which is the law regulating building codes in PA section 403.21(d) only allows the prescriptive method of the current version of the IECC, REScheck, and the “Pennsylvania Alternative Residential Energy Provisions”
I cannot pass the insulation on this house because of this. I will be waiting for you to specify how this will be brought up to code
