Please follow up on the following items:
These items will need to be accomplished as the project moves forward;
1. Final ratings, duct blast results, and a signed Thermal Bypass Checklist.
2. Smoke, Heat and CO detectors throughout the structure to current building codes.
3. An emergency escape window is required within every bedroom.
4. An air barrier is required between the tub or showers and the wall cavity.
5. Dryer exhaust hidden within the framing require signage per M504.6.5

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.

mechanical room) Except if there are no fossil burning fuels or attached garage.
c. Heat detector in attached garage, and other large unfinished unconditioned spaces.
44. Closets beneath stair which have doors must be drywalled with %Z". 780 CMR R302.7
45. If there is mechanical equipment or a combustible roof, 30 sqft of space, and 30" measured from top of
ceiling joist to bottom of rafters an attic access of minimum RO of 22"x 30" is required to be located in
an accessible place. It must be insulated equal to surrounding,gasketed, and secured in place.
46. Clearances above gas stoves and cook tops burners is 24" to non-combustible or 30"to combustibles.
