2012 Engergy Code Details -Continous Insulation Precast Wall Panel
(OP)
The 2012 Energy code (so I'm told) sorta (again I hear this is debated) requires Insulation to be continuous throughout the entire building envelope or something to this effect. So the Architect was asking for any ideas on how the roof insulation could be butted to the insulation inside the precast wall panel at a parapet condition (or even for no parapet). I've heard that precaster's have tried to discontinue the back side of the panel so that the insulation could meet the roof insulation and avoid a 'cold joint'. However there were issues during erection with cracking. Not to mention more expensive panels.
Anyone have an advice on this?

Specialized panels will cost more. Cracking is a function of design, it will crack if not designed for and controlled.
