The purpose of this R Value online tool is to provide designers with climate zone-appropriate insulated wall assembly solutions that are easily comparable with national and provincial energy efficiency prescriptive provisions. Each assembly lists: * Effective thermal resistance Reff* for complying with the National Building Code (NBC) for houses and the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB) for larger buildings * Installed R-value for complying with the Ontario Building Code * Centre of cavity R-value for complying with the Quebec Construction Code. *The calculation of effective thermal resistance is performed in compliance with NBC Subsection 9.36.5. of Division B. Each assembly comes with a climate-specific colour-coded durability assessment, which has been determined considering computer analysis and field experience by building science experts in Canada.
