Making sense of complicated building and energy codes is now down to a science.
Codes and standards are changing and are subject to becoming more complex and stringent. Potential changes may include higher air leakage standards, mandatory air infiltration testing and higher R-value requirements for walls. . But the DuPont™ Building Knowledge Center can help you crack the current and future codes and translate them into practical, science-based construction and weatherization practices. The result is more durable and energy efficient walls that satisfy the codes, your customers and your commitment to quality.
Cracking the Code: How to get building durable, energy efficient walls down to a science.
This interactive eBrochure will give you an overview of how changing codes may impact your building practices. It will also explain why just taping the seams of exterior rigid foam insulation panels may impact the thermal performance of a home.

The CodeSense™ Durable Wall Building Tool
With this digital tool you can select the appropriate codes, code year, climate zone where houses are being built, and cladding type and the CodeSense™ Durable Wall Builder will generate a report that details the code’s air , water and thermal requirements. The report also offers guidance on how to build durable walls that meet code using DuPont™ Tyvek® Weatherization Systems.
