C402.4.1.1 Air Barrier Construction

Energy Conservation Code 2012 of Nevada > 4 [CE] Commercial Energy Efficiency > C402 Building Envelope Requirements > C402.4 Air Leakage (Mandatory) > C402.4.1 Air Barriers > C402.4.1.1 Air Barrier Construction
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The continuous air barrier shall be constructed to comply with the following:
  1. The air barrier shall be continuous for all assemblies that are the thermal envelope of the building and across the joints and assemblies.
  2. Air barrier joints and seams shall be sealed, including sealing transitions in places and changes in materials. Air barrier penetrations shall be sealed in accordance with Section C402.4.2. The joints and seals shall be securely installed in or on the joint for its entire length so as not to dislodge, loosen or otherwise impair its ability to resist positive and negative pressure from wind, stack effect and mechanical ventilation.
  3. Recessed lighting fixtures shall comply with Section C402.4.8. Where similar objects are installed which penetrate the air barrier, provisions shall be made to maintain the integrity of the air barrier.
Exception: Buildings that comply with Section C402.4.1.2.3 are not required to comply with Items 1 and 3.
