The numbers would *still* depend on the location meaning the extreme summer
and winter temps.

There are local regs. For example, I only have to achieve R13 where I
live, but i haven't a clue where you live and your local permit office
might have its own standards.If you don't fool with an existing
property, sometimes you can get away with what's there. If you
rennovate, you might have to meet code. And what code depends on where
you live.

While all that's true, I don't think "Superinsulation" is a strictly defined
term anywhere, or one that's codified.
