Honestly, I'm not doubting you, I'm impressed. Most home builders/designers don't provide a book spec. Anyway, this is a sample of what I would consider a drawing specification (this is only one section, but you get the idea)
1.1 Section 07 21 16 - Batt and Blanket Insulation
.1 Thermal Batt Insulation: one of the following:
.1 Unfaced Batt Insulation: friction fit preformed type 1, GreenGuard certified or formaldehyde binder free and EcoLogo certified; fibrous glass conforming to CAN/ULC-S702, Density to be minimum 1.22 kg/m2 of surface area, to meet all British Columbia Building Code 2012 Requirements, thickness and thermal resistance as indicated on the drawings. Acceptable Manufacturers:
.1 Johns-Manville.
.2 Owens Corning EcoTouch Pink Fibreglass thermal insulation.
.3 CertainTeed Sustainable Batt Insulation.
.4 Other preapproved product.
.2 Mineral Fibre Batt Insulation: mineral wool fibre insulation made from basalt rock and steel slag, conforming to CAN/ULC-S702, type 1, 32 kg/m3 density, EcoLogo certified; non-combustible, thickness and thermal resistance as indicated on the drawings; Acceptable Products:
.1 Roxul Plus Batt Insulation.
.2 Roxul ComfortBatt Insulation.
.3 Other preapproved product.
.2 Install batt insulation in strict accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
.3 Install thermal batt insulation between exterior stud framing members, as indicated, to complete fill spaces to provide a complete and continuous thermal barrier.
This is a very basic spec and really doesn't cover much, but it is usually good enough for very small projects. My book specs would be much more detailed. Also, this is from an older project - obviously Roxul changed it's name to Rockwool. Also batt insulation in this project was only in the walls - the roof was a commercial type "flat" roof.
