Client has an existing warehouse building in the Seattle area, Climate Zone 4. Looking to erect a new steel stud/gyp. board demising wall to create a smaller space for new tenant. No other work occuring in the warehouse or office.
Section C101.4.3 indicates that the provisions of the code apply to new construction without requiring unaltered portions of the building or building system to comply with this code.
Question: In light of C101.4.3, can I assume that we can focus solely on insulating the new demising wall itself?
Table C402.2 of the Washington State Energy Code indicates that for walls above grade with steel framed construction, we need to provide R-13 plus R-10 continuous insulation. Does that requirement apply to our demising wall??
Question: If so, what does that wall detail look like? Is it feasible to sandwich R10 rigid between steel stud and gyp bd to achieve the ci requirement? Exhaustive search for this topic online yields no help. Plenty of ci applications for exterior walls, but don't see anything relative to interior. Am I missing something? Is ci really needed in an interior warehouse demising wall? I'm an absolute newbie on this topic, so any insight would be appreciated.
