【 摘 要 】

This measure guideline provides information about the design and construction of wall assemblies that use layers of rigid exterior insulation thicker than 1-?? inches and that require a secondary cladding attachment location exterior to the insulation. The guideline is separated into several distinct sections that cover: fundamental building science principles relating to the use of exterior insulation on wall assemblies; design principles for tailoring this use to the specific project goals and requirements; and construction detailing to increase understanding about implementing the various design elements.
