Chapter 3 Building Planning

R301.2 Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria

o) [NY] The ground snow loads to be used in determining the design snow loads for roofs are given in Figure R301.2(6) for sites at elevations up to 1,000 feet. Sites at elevations above 1,000 feet shall have their ground snow load increased from the mapped value by 2 psf for every 100 feet above 1,000 feet.

From Figure R301.2(6), the base snow load for Sullivan County is 50psf. Our site has an elevation of 2,200 ft.

• 2,200 ft - 1,000 ft = 1,200 ft.

• 1,200 ft /100 ft = 12.

• 12 * 2 psf = 24PSF

• 50PSF + 24PSF = 74PSF

• Frost Depth: 48 inches

• Insulation (IRC -N1102.1.2) R-49 Ceilings R-30 Base Ceiling R-20 + 5 walls (new wood frame)
