UBC "R" values

UBC "R" values

UBC "R" values

(OP)
how does the R value in UBC91 compare with the R value in UBC 97.  For example is it appropriate to change an R value of 7 in UBC 91 and change it to an "equivalent" R value of 10 in UBC 97?

RE: UBC "R" values

I'm not sure your question is clear.  Why would you "change" an R value?

You design a building under the legally adopted governing building code.  Why the comparison between codes?

 

RE: UBC "R" values

No, it's not appropriate.
