For Sl: 1 pound per square foot==0.0479 kN/m2 I mile per hour=t.609km/h.

a. Probability Map (Figure RJ0l.2 (3)1- Concrete shall conform to the "severe" requirements of Table R402.2. The grade of masonry units shall be determined from ASTM C34, C55, C62, C73, C90, Cl 29, C145, C216 or C652.

b. The frost line depth for Teton County is 34-inches measured from finished grade to the bottom of footings or as determined by a soils investigation.

c. Teton County shall be considered "none to slight" in accordance with figure RJ0I.2(6).

d. The basic wind speed shall be 105 as determined from the wind speed map !Figure R301.2(4)J. Wind exposure category shall be determined on a site-specific basis in accordance with Section R301.2.1.4.

e. The outdoor design dry-bulb temperature shall be -30.

f. The minimum Seismic Design Category for Teton County as determined from Section R30J.2.2.I is D.

g. The date of Teton County's entry into the National Flood Insurance Program is May 4,1989, September 29, 2012 is the currently effective FIRM and FBFM, or other flood hazard map adopted by the community, as maybe amended.

h. The Mean Annual Temperature is 38.0 and the Air Freezing Index Return Periods & Associated Probabilities I 00 Year (99%) is 253l. Prepared by NOAA - National Climatic Data Center.

a. R-values are minimums. U-factors and SHGC are maximums. . When insulation is installed in a cavity which is less than the label or design thickness of the insulation, the installed R-value of the insulation shall not be less than the R-value specified in the table

b. The fenestration U-factor column excludes skylights. The SHGC column applies to all glazed fenestrations. Exception: Skylights may be excluded from glazed fenestrations SHGC requirements in Climate Zones 1 through 3 where the SHGC for such skylights does not exceed 0.30

c. 15/19 means R-15 continuous insulation on the interior or exterior of the home or R-19 cavity insulation at the interior of the basement wall. 15/19 shall be permitted to be met with R-13 cavity insulation on the interior of the basement wall plus R-5 continuous insulation on the interior or exterior of the home. 10/13 means R-10 continuous insulation on the interior or exterior of the home or R-13 cavity insulation of the interior of the basement wall

d. R-5 shall be added to the required slab edge R-values for heated slabs. Insulation depth shall be the depth of the footing or 2 feet, whichever is less in Zone 1 through 3 for heated slabs.

e. There are no SHGC requirements in the Marine Zone

f. Basement wall insulation is not required in warm-humid locations. (Teton county is not in this zone)

g. Or insulation sufficient to fill the framing cavity.

h. The first value is cavity insulation, the second value is continuous insulation, so “13+5” means R13 cavity insulation plus R5 continuous insulation

i. The second R-value applies when more than half the insulation is on the interior of the mass wall.
