The weep screed may be made for galvanized metal plastics or aluminum.
Typically they should be set at or below the foundation plate line to allow moisture to exit or weep out and to prevent ground moisture from wicking up.
Ibc dictates acceptable placement and composition of roofing materials in chapter 15 but describes required thermal efficiency of the roof in chapter 13 which references the international energy conservation code iecc.
