Air barriers and the new energy code

Abstract
The International Energy Conservation Code, 2012 Edition (IECC2012) includes a new requirement intended to limit air leakage through buildings' thermal envelopes, including roof assemblies. The requirement, a change from IECC 2009, will significantly affect the design and installation of certain roof assemblies.
