Better Building Practices
The building codes for the State of North Carolina are the "bare minimum" of what is required by law. North Carolina uses the International Building Code for all structures. One of the best ways to understand this is through the foundation — it has been commonplace for concrete block to be used for foundations across America for a long time.
The drawback is there are superior methods for strength and R-value. A solid poured concrete wall with rebar throughout is much stronger and can achieve R-values over R-60. Why would anyone choose a method that cracks in settling, has a single-digit R-Value, and is not as strong to begin with?
- Poured concrete ICF foundations — R-value over 60
- Frost-proof footings using EPS foam
- P-2000 insulation with Mylar coating
- Iconene foam insulation for tight envelopes
- Radiant floors and geothermal ground loops
- Passive solar design principles
