Whitepaper: Air Sealing and Insulating Using Rigid or Spray Foam Products
Updated June 29, 2011
As QA and QC inspectors for several weatherization, conservation, and efficiency programs, Pure Energy Coach LLC must know as much as possible about fire, electrical, building and other code requirements that relate to the work that is done in these programs.
We also must know about products and where they are allowed to be used in buildings, according to codes.
When some building and retrofit materials burn, they can release potent fumes that can make people ill. That is one reason codes require ignition or thermal barriers over some products and in some building locations and applications. These barriers protect people in the case of a fire.
Code books are hard to read and understand! We are doing our best to clarify the issues, and we believe we are on the cutting edge with this information. Please share what you know with us and we’ll continue to share with you! For more information, download these resources.
