9. Existing Conditions – R Value of Wall 2x6” Wood Stud=6.875 Closed Cell Foam R30=38.4 5/8” GWB with PCM=0.569 ¾” Plywood=0.95 Window by Pella=2.75 ¼” Cement Siding=0.13 Total=49.674 The addition of all the R values of the wall materials does not surpass the 50 minimum for an excellent insulation.

10. Proposed Changes – Stevens 2x6” Wood Stud=6.875 Closed Cell Foam R30=38.4 5/8” GWB with PCM=0.569 ¾” Plywood=0.95 Window by Pella=2.75 ¼” Cement Siding=0.13 2” Air Space @ Insulation=1.13 Total=50.804 By simply adding a 2” air space at insulation on the outside part of the wall, the R value of the wall increases and surpasses the 50 minimum required.

11. Existing Conditions- SCIAL/CalTech Identifying Materials Structural Steel Framing 4x6 (wood) Beam 2x12 (wood) beam (6”)Batt Insulation (5/8”) Plywood Sheathing Sprayed Insulation

13. Existing Conditions – R Value of Wall Structural Steel Framing=0.541 4x6 (wood) Beam=5.4 2x12 (wood) beam=16.875(12”x12”) (6”)Batt Insulation=19.0 (5/8”) Plywood Sheathing=0.94 Sprayed Insulation @ 3”=2.4(@2.4 per12”h) Sprayed Insulation @ 6”=4.8(@2.4 per 12”h) Total=49.956 The total addition of the R values of the wall is a little bellow the recommended. Although, there is a thermal bridge connecting the roof to the wall making this number go down quite a bit and diminishing the ability for the wall to insulate the building.

14. Proposed Changes – R Value of Wall Structural Steel Framing=0.541 4x6 (wood) Beam=5.4 2x12 (wood) beam=16.875(12”x12”) (6”)Batt Insulation=19.0 (5/8”) Plywood Sheathing=0.94 Sprayed Insulation @ 6”=4.8(@2.4 per12”h) Total=52.356 By adding sprayed insulation around the steel structural framing, it eliminates the thermal bridge, increasing the R value, therefore, insulating the building better.
