RE: Metal Studs and the IECC
The competitive nature of the bidding in construction also perturbates the stability of the designs, as well in this area. The designer's team can't count on that its design is going to be the constructed one, availability or pricing changing what projected.
All this, plus the fact that two systems aiming to disparate objectives such structural and insulation fitness are always to have design friction issues will surely make that for some time ahead the structure vs insulation issue will remain a non stabilized matter.
