Hey guys, I need a little help please.

I have been looking ALL NIGHT for any ONE chart or page or website that has an easy to read table, chart or graph that shows "R" rating per inch for various types of attic insulation. I have a client (who is a lawyer) who is requesting said information, and all I have found, is a hodgepodge of Dept of Energy web sites and one IECC/2006 page, none of which works well for me. In fact, while I am sitting on Santa's lap, would it be too much to ask if there was a "zone" map for the US, indicating what R value per zone was required.

Thanks

P.S. I WILL NOT SHOOT MY EYE OUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttt..

Here's the DOE web site that has the map that you are looking for I believe.
