SUMMARY:C6.1 - Foam without Flames – Part 1 – Thermal Bridging
DESCRIPTION:C6.1 – Foam without Flames – Part 1 – Thermal Bridging \nT02-07-3230 \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION Reducing thermal bridging is one of the keys to reducing energy waste in buildings and\, to that end\, the prescriptive energy code contains requirements for continuous insulation for roofs\, above-and below-grade walls\, and mass floors. This program will provide an overview of the thermal envelope requirements in the ECCCNYS [CE] and NYStretch [CE] as they relate to continuous insulation. This will be followed by a discussion the types of construction as categorized by the Building Code of New York State (Types I\, II\, III\, IV\, V) and associated fire-resistance rating requirements and fire separation distance requirements\, and NFPA 285 test for vertical and lateral flame spread as they relate to exterior foam applications.

SUMMARY:(R6.1) Don't Be Left Exposed - Part 1: Meeting the Energy Code with the Safe Use of Foam Insulation
DESCRIPTION:R6.1 – Don’t Be Left Exposed – Part 1 – Meeting the Energy Code with the Safe Use of Foam Insulation \nT02-07-3158 \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION Rigid foam board and spray foam insulation are common material choices to help achieve energy code compliance\, but when installed improperly can create fire hazards. Foam products general must be covered from the interior with thermal or ignition barriers\, but sometimes may be left exposed via “specific approvals.” The challenge for homebuilders\, design professionals\, insulation contractors\, and code officials is knowing which requirements apply to which applications. This course will cover RCNYS requirements for common applications of foam insulation in residential construction\, including crawl space walls\, basement walls\, roofs\, attic hatches\, knee walls\, rim joists\, and exterior sheathing. These requirements will be presented in the context of meeting ECCCNYS requirements for these building components.

SUMMARY:(R7.1) Put a Lid On It Part 1: Unvented Attics
DESCRIPTION:R7.1 – Put a Lid On It Part 1 – Unvented Attics \nT02-07-3192 \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION Bringing attic and crawl spaces inside the thermal envelope is a great way to simultaneously improve energy efficiency and moisture management. One of the main ways unvented attics and crawl spaces reduce energy waste is by bringing ducts and air handlers inside (which is a requirement of NYStretch and the NYCECC). This can also be cost-effective for builders as they eliminate the requirement for duct testing. But there are risks associated with installing these assemblies improperly\, so it is important to meet all related requirements in the RCNYS. For unvented attics\, these include a minimum R-value of air impermeable insulation or above-roof deck insulation and proper installation and location of vapor retarders. For unvented crawl spaces\, builders must take care to install vapor barriers over exposed earth and provide a means of evacuating moisture. For both strategies\, the use of spray foam also brings in fire safety requirements from the RCNYS for thermal or ignition barriers. This course will provide a review of the benefits of unvented attics and crawl spaces\, related building science concepts\, and energy and residential code requirements.
