[Equest-users] Fwd: Fw: Mandatory Provisions 5.4

[Ty Law]

Hi Everyone,

I am quite confused between what the ASHRAE 90.1 and the user’s manual tell
us about Building Envelope Mandatory Provisions:

*5.4 Mandatory Provisions*
*“5.4.1 Insulation.** Where insulation is required in Section*
*5.5 or 5.6, it shall comply with the requirements found in Sections*
*5.8.1.1 through 5.8.1.9.” - ASHRAE 90.1-2007*
* *

*Insulation (§ 5.8.1)*
*“**The first set of mandatory requirements*
*addresses the proper installation and*
*protection of insulation materials. Issues*
*that are covered include compression of*
*insulation, installing insulation on sloping*
*ceilings and around recessed equipment,*
*and protecting insulation from physical or*
*moisture damage.”-** ASHRAE 90.1-2007-User’s Manual*
* *

Does this mean that we could use insulation that is not as efficient as
indicated in Table 5.5-1 through 5.5-8 as long as it complies with
Section 5.8.1.1
through 5.8.1.9?

Your thoughts are highly appreciated.
