Roof proposal to clarify IBC Chapter 26 requirements for thermal barrier between roof deck and foam
Support
Let it go
No opinion
IRC/IBC Connecting cladding through foam sheathing- add info for foam greater than 2" thick, 11 psi stucco, etc.
Yes, make the code tables more robust
No, instead develop tools on continuous insulation.org for code compliance
No opinion
Currently, ICC-ES AC-71 defines code compliance. A new standard FS-200.1 has the same AC-71 information. Do we add FS200.1 to the code so the industry takes control of the acceptance criteria information?
Yes, add FS200.1 to the code so we have more control over AC-71
No, leave things as they are.
No opinion
For IBC/IRC vapor retarders, we currently have a temperature control option to add more continuous insulation to the exterior to control condensation. Should we add an option to design by permeance as an alternative to foam?
Yes, a fully comprehensive solution is preferred
No, leave things as they are.
No opinion
Should we suggest a maximum moisture limit for wet-applied insulation prior to enclosure (i.e. Allow for proper drying)
Yes, this is a problem we should fix.
No, this is not our problem to fix.
No opinion
Should we add charging/enabling language to support the use of FSC calculators for code compliance, I.e. Other approved design?
Yes, we should support our existing/future calculators
No, not at this time
No opinion
The future trend is to develop pressure rated WRB and air barriers, similar to pressure rated windows. Should we begin introducing this concept this code cycle?
Yes, go big and introduce wind-driven rain criteria
Yes, but start small and see how it goes
No, not at this time
No opinion
Should we clarify for stucco installation what is a bond break, I.e. Putting the separation layer in the right place.
Yes, this would benefit foam sheathing
No, this is not our problem
No opinion
FS200.1 has a window installation method that permits the window to be installed directly over the foam sheathing. Should we add this to the code?
Yes, this would benefit foam sheathing
Yes, but only if we have consensus with the window industry
No, not at this time
No opinion
Should we provide added detail on termite requirements for inspection gaps on exterior walls?
Yes, this would benefit foam sheathing
Yes, but only if we have consensus with the termite treatment industry
No, not at this time
No opinion
Should we actively engage in rewriting provisions related to roof replacement, roof recover, or re-coatings? Should we engage in any roof provision re-organization? Hint, we have been asked to participate
Yes, we should lead the charge
Yes, but let others lead
No, not at this time, but maintain a defensive posture
No opinion
We added the Extended Plate and Beam construction method to an IRC Appendix. Should we try to move it into the main body of the IRC or improve the Appendix by addressing AWC concerns?
Yes, make a big push to get this into the main body of the code
Yes, but leave it in the Appendix and make minor modifications
No, leave it as is.
No opinion.
We have been actively working in Canada to address lateral bracing with foam sheathing. Should we take our key learnings and improve the IRC bracing methods?
Yes, lead the charge and spend a lot of time on this. We have a lot to gain.
Yes, but keep it reasonably simple and make small changes. We won't gain much from added detail in wall bracing.
No, leave it as is.
No opinion.
