Jenks, OK: what's different here
Jenks sits about 11 miles and roughly 15 minutes from Tulsa via Creek Turnpike or US-75. Like most of Oklahoma, the area falls in IECC Climate Zone 3A, which means the statewide residential energy code sets no basement wall insulation requirement. Current Oklahoma statewide codes took effect November 13, 2022, based on the 2021 IECC with Oklahoma-specific amendments. Homeowners in Jenks can reach independent spray foam insulation contractors serving the Tulsa area through a free referral service.
Is basement wall insulation required in Jenks, OK?
No. Oklahoma's residential energy code summary lists no basement wall insulation requirement for Climate Zone 3, and most of Oklahoma, including Tulsa, sits in Zone 3A. If you insulate a conditioned basement, Okla. Admin. Code § 748:20-6-16 says exterior walls go from the top of the wall down to 10 feet below grade or the basement floor, whichever is less.
What R-value should basement wall insulation meet in Jenks?
The code lists two compliance paths: R-13 cavity insulation on the interior of the basement wall, or R-10 continuous insulation on the interior or exterior. Those numbers come from Okla. Admin. Code § 748:20-6-16, which adopts IRC 2018 Chapter 11 energy rules. Note that Climate Zone 4 areas require R-13 or R-10 continuous insulation, but Jenks is in Zone 3A.
