Metal buildings can utilize a multitude of high-performance insulation options - from fiberglass to rigid board, which can meet or exceed energy conservation code requirements. ASHRAE 90.1 and the IECC have specific prescriptive requirements for metal buildings, but sophisticated metal building contractors often utilize software tools such as COMcheck to show energy code compliance using the envelope trade-off approach. This approach allows builders to select the best balance of high-performance roof and wall insulation, windows and doors, and foundation insulation that works best and saves the most energy and money when considering all the project requirements.
