[ ] Joints, penetrations, and all other such openings in the building
envelope that are sources of air leakage must be sealed. Recessed
Lights must be type IC rated and installed with no penetrations
or installed inside an appropriate air-tight assembly with a 0.5"
clearance from combustible materials and 3" clearance from insulation.

[ ] Required on the warm-in-winter side of all non-vented framed
ceilings, walls, and floors.
MATERIALS IDENTIFICATION:
[ 7 Materials and equipment must be identified so that compliance can
be determined. Manufacturer manuals for all installed heating
and cooling equipment and service water heating equipment must be
provided. Insulation R-values and glazing U-values must be clearly
marked on the building plans or specifications.
DUCT INSULATION:
[ 7 Ducts in unconditioned spaces must be insulated to R-5.
