Residential Code 2018 of Kansas > 11 [RE] Energy Efficiency > N1102 (R402) Building Thermal Envelope > N1102.2 (R402.2) Specific Insulation Requirements (Prescriptive) > N1102.2.4 (R402.2.4) Access Hatches and Doors

ILLUSTRATION
Access doors from conditioned spaces to unconditioned spaces such as attics and crawl spaces shall be weatherstripped and insulated to a level equivalent to the insulation on the surrounding surfaces. Access that prevents damaging or compressing the insulation shall be provided to all equipment. Where loose-fill insulation is installed, a wood-framed or equivalent baffle or retainer shall be installed to prevent the loose-fill insulation from spilling into the living space when the attic access is opened. The baffle or retainer shall provide a permanent means of maintaining the installed R-value of the loose-fill insulation.
Exception: Vertical doors providing access from conditioned spaces to unconditioned spaces that comply with the fenestration requirements of Table N1102.1.2 based on the applicable climate zone specified in Section N1101.7.
