Climate zone 6
The energy code places all of Carroll County in climate zone 6. Climate zone 6 is the colder zone. There the energy code calls for R-20 cavity insulation plus R-5 continuous insulation, or R-13 plus R-10, in new or rebuilt wood-frame walls, R-10 at slab edges to 4 feet deep, and the same R-49 ceiling as the south of the state. New Hampshire uses the 2018 International Energy Conservation Code with state amendments (Table R402.1.2 gives these values).
Building codes in Carroll County
The state building code applies in every Carroll County town and city. Local enforcement varies: some have a building or code office and some do not have a local inspector, so we confirm permit requirements with each town before work starts.
