COURSE 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 RCNYSrequirements 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.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1- Understand the thermal envelope insulation requirements of the energy code
2- Differentiate between several categories of common foam insulation materials
3- Describe common applications of foam insulation materials and under what conditions these products need to be covered
4- Locate and use documentation for “specific applications” for when foam may be left exposed

The course will also review examples of how to fit in the required solar ready zone considering obstructions and required setbacks. Example documentation will also be reviewed. Finally, the course will cover the electric vehicle service equipment capable requirements of NYStretch and how adopting these provisions will help with the electrification of New York’s transportation system.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Bringing attic and crawl spaces inside the thermal envelope isa 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.
Learning Objectives:
1- Describe the energy efficiency benefits of unvented attics and crawl spaces
2- Describe durability benefits of unvented attics and crawl spaces
