9.36.2.8. Thermal Characteristics of Building Assemblies Below-Ground or in contact with the Ground

The thermal resistance requirements for below-ground assemblies are divided into two tables. Tables 9.36.2.8.A lists the minimum effective thermal resistance (RSI) for buildings whose ventilation system does not include heat recovery equipment, while Table 9.36.2.8.B lists the requirements for when heat recovery equipment is involved.
