N1102.2.12

Section N1102.2.12 is titled 'Masonry veneer' and covers requirements for energy efficiency. Insulation not being required on the horizontal portion of foundation walls supporting masonry veneer is established. The purpose of this section is to clarify that structural stability takes precedence over energy efficiency and prevent structural failure of masonry veneer.

The model shows a partial foundation and brick veneer wall section with foamboard insulation being removed from below the brick veneer to symbolically represent the intent of this section.
