C.I means continuous insulation. The intent is to reduce heat loss through the framing. You could install a rigid or semi-rigid board insulation on the "warm side" of the framing and then your interior wall finishes.

In this case you require your designer's advice to come up with a solution because you have a designer for this project.

Alternatively you may require to do a performance analysis of the building to demonstrate compliance with the code.
