AIR BARRIER AND INSULATION INSTALLATION CHECKLIST (Table R402.4.1.1 IECC 2015)

a. In addition, inspection of log walls shall be in accordance with the provisions of ICC-400.

Contents from Table R402.4.1.1 in the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code, International Code Council

SEA 170201

COMPONENT AIR BARRIER CRITERIA R/B/NA INSULATION INSTALLATION CRITERIA R/B/NA

General

Requirements

A continuous air barrier shall be installed in the building

envelope.

Air-permeable insulation shall not be used as a sealing

material.

The exterior thermal envelope contains a continuous air

barrier.

Breaks or joints in the air barrier shall be sealed.

Ceiling/Attic

The air barrier in any dropped ceiling/soffit shall be

aligned with the insulation and any gaps in the air barrier

shall be sealed.

The insulation in any dropped ceiling/soffit shall be

aligned with the air barrier.

Access openings, drop down stairs or knee wall doors to

unconditioned attic spaces shall be sealed.

Walls

The junction of the foundation and sill plate shall be

sealed.

Cavities within corners and headers of frame walls shall

be insulated by completely filling the cavity with a

material having a thermal resistance of R-3 per inch

minimum.

The junction of the top plate and the top of exterior

walls shall be sealed.

Exterior thermal envelope insulation for framed walls

shall be installed in substantial contact and continuous

alignment with the air barrier.

Knee walls shall be sealed.

Windows,

Skylights and

Doors

The space between window/door jambs and framing,

and skylights and framing shall be sealed.

Rim Joists Rim joists shall include the air barrier. Rim joists shall be insulated.

Floors (including

above garage and

cantilevered

floors)

The air barrier shall be installed at any exposed edge of

insulation.

Floor framing cavity insulation shall be installed to

maintain permanent contact with the underside of subfloor

decking, or floor framing cavity insulation shall be

permitted to be in contact with the top side of sheathing,

or continuous insulation installed on the underside of

floor framing and extends from the bottom to the top of

all perimeter floor framing members.

Crawl Space

Walls

Exposed earth in unvented crawl spaces shall be covered

with a Class I vapor retarder with overlapping joints

taped.

Where provided instead of floor insulation, insulation

shall be permanently attached to the crawlspace walls.

Shafts,

Penetrations

Duct shafts, utility penetrations, and flue shafts opening

to exterior or unconditioned space shall be sealed.

Narrow Cavities Batts in narrow cavities shall be cut to fit, or narrow

cavities shall be filled by insulation that on installation

readily conforms to the available cavity space.

Garage

Separation Air sealing shall be provided between the garage and

conditioned spaces.

Recessed

Lighting Recessed light fixtures installed in the building thermal

envelope shall be sealed to the drywall.

Recessed light fixtures installed in the building thermal

envelope shall be air tight and IC rated.

Plumbing and

Wiring

Batt insulation shall be cut neatly to fit around wiring and

plumbing in exterior walls, or insulation that on

installation readily conforms to available space shall

extend behind piping and wiring.

Shower/Tub on

Exterior Wall The air barrier installed at exterior walls adjacent to

showers and tubs shall separate them from the showers

and tubs.

Exterior walls adjacent to showers and tubs shall be

insulated.

Electrical/Phone

Box on Exterior

Walls

The air barrier shall be installed behind electrical or

communication boxes or air-sealed boxes shall be

installed.

HVAC Register

Boots

HVAC register boots that penetrate building thermal

envelope shall be sealed to the subfloor or drywall.

Concealed

Sprinklers

When required to be sealed, concealed fire sprinklers

shall only be sealed in a manner that is recommended by

the manufacturer. Caulking or other adhesive sealants

shall not be used to fill voids between fire sprinkler

cover plates and walls or ceilings.
