24. Drilling or notching of more than 50%of the wall plate width of an exterior wall or load bearing partition

R602.6.1

27. Markup air is required for any exhaust hood of 400 CFM or more. 780 CMR M1503.4
28. Fireplaces require all combustion air be provided from the exterior and below the firebox, duct work
maintaining 1" clearance for 5' from the duct outlet for all fireplaces
29. Fire and draft stopping shall be completed before rough inspection. 780 CMR R302.
30. Ignition barriers in place before final.780 CMR R316.

32. Energy aspects shall comply with the stretch energy code.780 CMR Appendix 115AA or 2009 IECC.

e. Remodeling and Additions can be completed in accordance with IECC 2009 with Energy Star
Windows and the Thermal Bypass Checklist. Duct blast testing when practicable.
f. All band joist insulation must be enclosed within an air tight cavity, which you must create.
33. 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 is dirt filter out of the air moving through
the insulation. 780 CMR R601.2 for vapor retarders and Table N1102.4.2 for air sealing requirements.
34. Unvented attic assemblies. Hot roofs are allowed, but have specific requirements 780 CMR R806.4.

essentially perforate the sheathing weakening it and contribute to building damage in high wind events.
17. Ceiling heights minimum 7'for habitable spaces, 6'8" for bathrooms includes tub/shower area if a
shower head is used, 6'8" for basements, 6'4" at beams/ducts.780 CMR R305.1. MA amended

Please follow up on the following items:
These items will need to be accomplished as the project moves forward and before rough inspections;
1. Stamped engineering for all non prescriptive materials and or systems.

reinforcements requirements.
8. CMU foundations require 3/8" parging before damp proofing. 780 CMR R406.1 see exceptions.
9. Emergency escape is required out of every basement whether habitable or not.780 CMR R310.1
