New York State Building R-value Code Insulation Requirements. on exterior walls, from R-13 to R-25, plus Attic insulation R-49 to R-60. Existing Attic R-38.

As you’re getting ready to insulate your home, one of your first questions will most likely be, “How much insulation do I need?” The amount of insulation your home needs primarily depends on two factors:

  • The region you live in
  • The area of your home that needs to be insulated

Notes
About R-value: R-value is a measurement of a material’s ability to resist heat flow. The higher the
R-value, the greater the insulating power. Installers should consult data sheets provided by polyiso
manufacturers for information on product-specific R-values.
Code Compliance: The International Energy Conservation Code recognizes ASHRAE 90.1 as an
alternate compliance option for both new construction and existing buildings.
