All band joist insulation must be enclosed within an air tight cavity, which you must create. 38. Vapor retarders.Although these are still in the code have exceptions, one must understand that there is a difference between a vapor retarder or barrier and an air barrier.An air barrier is intended to stop air flow (convection) a vapor retarder or barrier is intended to stop molecular moisture transfer(diffusion). A vapor retarder or barrier is effective even if there are some holes or gaps, however an air barrier has to be absolute and complete. If air can leak through an electrical device or through a crack it follows the path of least resistance and carries 99%of the moisture in a structure.This is evident every time one exposes fiberglass insulation and finds black insulation, which has filtered dirt out of the air moving through the insulation.780 CMR R601.2 for vapor retarders and Table N1102.4.2 for air sealing requirements. 39.

All work must meet all applicable codes whether noted or not included within this memo. Please follow up on the following items: These items will need to be accomplished as the project moves forward and before rough inspections; 1. Smoke, Heat and CO detectors throughout the structure to current building codes. 2. An emergency escape window is required within every bedroom. 3. There are two window required to be tempered noted on the plan. 4. All ridge boards must fill the complete rafter cut. 5. Valleys require appropriate bearing. 6. Rafter extensions need to have two times the cantilever section attached to the rafter. 7. Note It may be a challenge to get a concrete contractor to fill a 10" wall through a 4" opening.Only R-5 is required at the slab edge with radiant heating so you have a bit of leeway. 8. The bracket structure which supports the roof above the slider on the South elevation cannot be verified by prescriptive, I would be willing to accept a bracket at a 45%angle securely fastened to the supporting structure or you could stamp that detail. 9. If permeable insulation is used air sealing and an air sealing inspection is required at the exterior and interior skins.Typically the sheathing and drywall. Note:The 2012 IECC with MA amendments is the non-stretch energy code and the new Stretch Code expected to be completed in 2015. As of August 4th 2011 the 81h Edition MA code is the 2009 IRC with MA amendments. in the following are some generic requirements which seem to be problematic. This is not intended to be comprehensive, nor is it a substitute for purchasing and reading the MA codes. Read only international codes are available on line at http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/icodl one must also consider the MA amendments to these codes which can be found at www.mass.gov/dpsZbbrs . The current relevant building codes are: 2009 IBC, 2009 IEBC, 2009 IMC, 2009 IRC, 2009 or 2012 IECC,AA115, MA amendments. 1. Structures shall conform to 780 CMR 8th Edition 1 and 2 family building codes with MA amendments. 2. Grading plan for structures being constructed required. 780 CMR R401.3 for drainage requirements. 3. A basement drainage system is required in all basements 780 CMR R405.2.3.except those in group I soils (table R405.1) 4.

The state defines "Homeowner" as, " Person(s) who owns a parcel on which he/she resides or intends to be, a one or two family dwelling, attached or detached structures accessory to such use and/or farm structures. A person who constructs more than one home in a two- year period shall not be considered a home owner." The building department for the City of Northampton wants any person(s)who seek to use the home owner exemption, to act as their own construction supervisor, to be aware that by doing so you become responsible for compliance with state building codes and regulations. The inspection process requires that the building department be called to inspect work at various stages, which include foundation/footings (before backfill), sonotube holes (before pour), a rough building inspection (before work is concealed), insulation inspection (if required) and a final building inspection. The building department requires these inspections before the work is concealed, failure to secure these inspections can result in failure to obtain a certificate of occupancy until the work can be inspected. if the homeowner hires other trades to perform work (electrical, plumbing & gas) the homeowner will be responsible to make sure that the trades hired secure their proper permits in conjunction to the building permit issued, and that they get their required inspections. Failure of the individual trades to secure the permits and inspections as required can DELAY the project until such time as the proper permits and inspections are made 1, understand the above. (Home owner/resident's signature requesting exemption) I will call to schedule all required building inspections necessary for the building permit issued to me.
