Does Norway require insulation based on building profile or just walls must be X, windows must be Y?
By building profile I mean, higher requirements if you want massive windows; to account for their lower R rating than a wall.
Or higher requirements for a rectangular footprint vs a square footprint because the rectangle has a more surface area for the same volume.
(Does anywhere take this approach???)
