14.1.2.2 About the Insulation alarm
The Insulation alarm can detect areas where there may be an insulation deficiency in the

camera) falls below a preset value of the energy leakage through a wall.
Different building codes recommend different values for the insulation level, but typical
values are 60–80% for new buildings. Refer to your national building code for
recommendations.
