Prescriptive Approach - Commercial
The state maps assign all locations within the 50 United States to specific climate zones. The prescriptive packages consist of tables containing building envelope requirements based on climate zone for codes based on the ASHRAE Standard 90.1-1989 (IECC 1998 and 2000). Reference Guides for this approach are also available.
