1. Introduction:
The intension of the report is to verify and evaluate existing ‘U’ values of wall,
roof, and glass for the apartment building in comparison with requirements
prescribed in the IECC 2009 and SBC 2007. Also to come up with proper
recommendations in the existing constructions to satisfy the above mentioned
code requirements.

2. Methods to evaluate the thermal
performance of building materials:
4
c. Software approach
An approved software program or calculation based methodology that
projects the hour -by-hour loads and annual energy use of a building.
As per the IECC 2009 Table no: 301.3(2) Zone number 2 is selected.
(See APPENDIX -3)

the day and 18°C. Annual cooling degree days (CDD) are the sum of
the degree days over a calendar year.
V A = (V1 x A1) + (V2x A2) + (V3 x A3) + (V4 x A4) + (V5 x A5) (as per IECC –
2009 std page no : 28, chapter no : 402.1.4), (see appendix - 3)
Walls. (W/m2-k)
6
V1= The combined thermal transmittance of the various paths of heat
transfer through the opaque exterior insulation wall area. (W/m2-k)
A2= Area of exterior non - insulated walls that are opaque. (m2)
A3 = The area of all glazing within the gross area of exterior walls.
(windows) (m2)
A4 = The area of all opaque aluminum frame within the gross area of
exterior walls. (m2)
A5 = The area of all opaque doors within the gross area of exterior walls.
(m2)
V A = (VR X AR) (as per IECC – 2009 std page no: 28, chapter no:
402.1.4),
(See appendix – 3)
7
VR = The combined thermal transmittance of the various paths of heat
transfer through The opaque roof /ceiling area. (W/m2-k)
‘V’ factor roof/ ceiling = 0.18 (W/m2-k) (see appendix – 2.4, 3, IECC
2009 Table no 402.1.3)
‘V’ factor for exterior wall = 0.655 (W/m2-k) (see appendix – 2.1, 3,
IECC 2009 Table no 402.1.3)

1. Procedures for using the performance
approach method as per SBC – 2007
standard:
Uo Ao = (U1 x A1) + (U2x A2) + (U3 x A3) + (U4 x A4) + (U5 x A5) (SBC std
equation no 4-1), (see appendix - 3)

In this case the existing building construction Does Not Comply with the code UA
requirements.

2. Solution for compliance to Code
requirements:
Two possible solutions can be considered to enhance the existing construction to
meet the code requirements.
Solution 1:
Solution 2:
Increase the insulation R values from R13 to R19 in the insulated portions of the
existing wall. Replace the existing glass with new glass having a ‘U’ value 2.27
W/Sq.m-DegC.
