For most areas, vapor retarders should be installed on the warmin-the-winter side of the insulation (toward the interior). A vapor retarder is any material that limits or restricts the transmission of water vapor. Common vapor retarders include kraft or foil facings adhered directly to fiber glass insulation and nylon or polyethylene films applied over insulation filled building cavities. For some warm and humid areas, vapor retarders—if used—should be installed outside the heating or building envelope. It is not appropriate to install kraft faced fiber glass with the facing toward the exterior. Check local practice and/or building codes before installation.
MemBrain —The Smart Vapor Retarder ™
high relative humidity. It is intended for use with unfaced fiber glass insulation in wall and ceiling cavities.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
DESCRIPTION MemBrain is a polyamide film that changes its permeability with the ambient humidity condition. It is capable of changing its permeability, from low permeability in conditions of low relative humidity to higher permeability during conditions of
MemBrain allows closed building envelope systems to increase their drying potential with seasonal climatic changes. This product can be used in place of traditional vapor retarders with unfaced fiber glass insulation to provide an insulation system that is ideal in some of the more severe temperature and humidity climate condition areas.
INSTALLATION MemBrain should be installed in all insulated walls and ceilings, including cathedral ceilings. For most areas, vapor retarders should be installed on the warm-in-the-winter side of the insulation (toward the interior). For some warm and humid areas, vapor retarders, if used, should be installed outside the heating or building envelope. MemBrain is not intended to be used as an exterior vapor retarder. Check local practice and/or building codes before installation.

LETS MOISTURE OUT.
KEEPS MOISTURE OUT.
During the cooling season when the relative humidity in insulated cavities is high, DryRight’s unique facing changes its permeance to increase the closed building envelope system’s drying potential. How? The facing’s molecular-scale pores open under moist conditions, allowing water vapor to exit the wall cavity.
During the heating season, when the relative humidity in insulated cavities is low, DryRight’s facing works as a vapor b a rrier. How? The facing’s molecular-scale pores close under dry conditions, blocking vapor transmission and keeping moisture out of the wall cavity.
THE DRYING ADVANTAGE. With MemBrain technology, DryRight’s permeance is 1 perm or less and increases to greater than 10 perms when the humidity changes (ASTM E 96).

Thermal Recommendations
INSULATION IS A WISE INVESTMENT. This diagram shows the most important areas of the home to insulate for energy efficiency. In new construction, sidewalls are readily accessible. For older homes, installing additional insulation in the attic, in floors over basements and crawl spaces and in the garage can pay dividends—because heat loss and heat gain are reduced while installation cost is minimized. There are many sets of energ y s t a n d a rd s commonly in use today. The most widely adopted standards are listed in the next column: 18
RESIDENTIAL FIBER GLASS INSULATION
(1) International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) Formerly the Model Energy Code—A stand alone energy code that evolved from three legacy codes (BOCA, ICBO, SBCCI) that were combined after creation of the International Code Council (ICC) in 1994 and consolidated into the ICC in 2003. (2) International Residential Code (IRC) and International Building Code (IBC)—All inclusive building codes that evolved from legacy codes and administered by the ICC. Many jurisdictions have adopted one of these codes in its entirety and the energy portion contained within. (3) HUD MPS (Minimum P roperty Standards)—For HUD funded new construction. It is considered a minimum standard for energy and cost efficiency. (4) Farmers Home Administration (FmHA)—For FmHA funded new construction. Standards are higher than MPS. (5) State and Local Jurisdiction Energy Codes—Many states and local areas have adopted some version of the IECC or their own energy codes. (6) CertainTeed Recommendations— Comply with the latest Federal Department of Energy (DOE) recommendations or local code—whichever is greater.
TECH NIC A L INFO RM ATION
Homes that are not insulated to today’s energy standards can experience substantial heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Installing proper amounts of thermally efficient fiber glass insulation is one of the most cost-effective energy conservation measures that can be taken. Climate and fuel costs determine how much insulation should be used for maximum economic return. As fuel and electric costs increase, higher R-Values are usually justified.
In some areas of the country, heating costs determine how much insulation should be used. In other areas air-conditioning costs are the major influence. In many areas both heating and air-conditioning costs contribute to the insulation recommendations shown here. R-Values on the chart represent CertainTeed recommendations based on the latest DOE recommendations.
R-Values listed for walls include those for both cavity insulation and sheathing. If the home has a heated basement, the basement walls should be insulated to a level such that the calculated energy consumed would be no greater than if the basement were unheated and the floor above insulated to the floor R-Value indicated.
Find the appropriate zone. Then use the R-Values on the chart below.
US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY R-VALUE RECOMMENDATIONS
Wall Insulation: Whenever exterior siding is removed on an Uninsulated wood-frame wall: • Drill holes in the sheathing and blow insulation into the empty wall cavity before installing the new siding. • Zones 3-4: Add R5 insulative wall sheathing beneath the new siding. • Zones 5-8: add R5 to R6 insulative wall sheathing beneath the new siding. Insulated wood-frame wall: • For Zones 4 to 8: Add R5 insulative sheathing before installing the new siding. Reference: DOE/CE-0180 2008, Insulation Fact Sheet RESIDENTIAL FIBER GLASS INSULATION

Performance Considerations VAPOR RETARDER
MOISTURE In every household, occupants generate moisture by cooking, bathing, laundering and breathing. A family of four can produce two to three gallons of water vapor per day. During the heating season this moisture vapor moves from a home’s warm interior to the cooler exterior. If its passage into attics and exterior walls is not slowed by a vapor retarder, condensation can occur when the vapor reaches a c o l d s u rface. Continued or prolonged condensation can cause wood rot and growth of mildew and mold. If insulation becomes damp, its thermal performance is reduced. All building insulation should be kept dry. Wet fiber glass insulation will lose its effectiveness. Fiber glass will often dry naturally and regain its original R-Value. However, under conditions when the insulation will not dry thoroughly, it should be removed and replaced.

RESIDENTIAL FIBER GLASS INSULATION
A vapor retarder is any material that limits or restricts the transmission of water vapor. The most common vapor retarders are the kraft or foil facings adhered directly to fiber glass insulation and nylon or polyethylene films applied over insulation filled building cavities. For some warm and humid areas vapor retarders—if used—should be installed outside the heating or building envelope. It is not appropriate to install kraft, foil, or DryRight faced fiber glass with the facing toward the exterior. Check local practice and/or building codes before installation. Vapor retarders are not required in some dry, temperate climates such as certain areas of California and Arizona.
TEC HN IC AL I NFOR MATION
VENTILATION To allow excess moisture vapor to escape, allowances should be made for proper ventilation. This can be accomplished through either a natural (static) or a power ventilation system. In attics, the most common method is the static system which consists of simple vent openings. These can be gable, eave or ridge vents or a combination of the three. An attic probably has two or more vent openings located so that air can flow in one and out the other. Regardless of the types of vents, as a basic guide you should provide one square foot of vent area for each 150 square feet of ceiling floor area when there is no vapor retarder in the ceiling. If the ceiling does have a vapor retarder, provide one square foot for each 300 square feet of ceiling area. Ideally, 50 percent of the required ventilation should be provided by vents located in the upper portion of the attic with the remaining 50 percent provided by eave vents. When insulating, do not cover eave or other vent openings.
Remember, properly insulating and ventilating a home helps prevent moisture from damaging an attic and walls. In winter, there will be less risk of ice dams which are caused when heat escapes and allows snow to melt down the roof and freeze on the colder overhang areas. In the summer, hot air will also be able to escape to the outside, helping to reduce your cooling costs. For most of the U.S., vapor retarders should be installed on the warm-in-winter side of the insulation (toward the interior). Vapor retarders are not a standard recommendation for all attics. Except for very cold regions, or isolated cases where there is high interior humidity, an attic vapor retarder is not required if there is sufficient ventilation.
CertainTeed fiber glass insulation is available with kraft, standard foil, MemBrainâ&#x201E;˘ or flame resistant vapor retarders. Although fiber glass is noncombustible, some vapor retarders can burn and should not be left exposed. They must be installed behind and in substantial contact with the back surface of wall, ceiling or floor finish materials. Only flame resistant vapor retarders can be left exposed. Unfaced building insulation is used with a separate vapor retarder such as MemBrain, or where a vapor retarder is not needed. It is also used in retrofitting attics when additional insulation is installed over existing insulation.
The term â&#x20AC;&#x153;cathedral ceilingâ&#x20AC;? refers to sloped ceilings where insulation is installed in rafter spaces and the ceiling finish layer is fastened directly to the rafters. In this type of ceiling a vented air space between insulation and roof sheathing is desirable. RESIDENTIAL FIBER GLASS INSULATION

Performance Considerations (cont.) not excessive. But when moisture vapor encounters a cold, impermeable surface, it can condense to a liquid and cause problems. Vapor retarders placed where they will stay above the dew point temperature can prevent condensation problems. In most U.S. climates, vapor retarders should be located at the warm-in-winter side of the insulation. MemBrain Protects: During the heating season, when the relative humidity in insulated cavities is low, MemBrain works as a vapor barrier.
MemBrain Breathes: During the cooling season, when relative humidity in insulated cavities is high, MemBrain changes its permeance to increase the system’s drying potential.
MEMBRAIN™ To reduce the risk of moisture-related problems in building envelopes, consider using the newest scientific innovation from CertainTeed— MemBrain, The Smart Vapor Retarder. MemBrain is a polyamide film (as opposed to polyethylene) that changes its permeability with ambient relative humidity conditions. When relative humidity is low, MemBrain’s pores close, blocking vapor transmission into the wall cavity. When humidity is high, MemBrain’s molecular-scale pores open, which permits moisture vapor to escape. This allows wall cavities to dry, reducing the risk of moisture and mold in the wall cavity.
CONDENSATION CONTROL Air normally contains moisture in vapor form. Moisture in vapor form is not a problem; in fact, it is beneficial to us when the amount present is 22
RESIDENTIAL FIBER GLASS INSULATION
In very mild, dry climates, vapor retarders are not required. In very hot, humid climates, vapor retarders should be located outside the insulation. Generally, a masonry wall below grade, should not have a vapor retarder because it is not always certain which side of the wall has the greater vapor pressure. Check local practice and/or building codes. For more information, refer to the ASHRAE Handbook, F u n d a m e n t a l s Volume, chapter titled “Thermal and Moisture Control in Insulated Assemblies–Applications.”
FIRE SAFETY Proper consideration must always be given to fire safety. Most building codes require that exposed vapor retarders have an ASTM E 84 flame spread index of 25 or less and a smoke density developed of 50 or less. FSK 25 Facing meets these requirements. Standard foil or kraft facings should always be covered by a low flame spread index material such as gypsum wallboard.

NOISE CONTROL Noise in buildings can be controlled by isolating noise sources from the rest of the structure with resilient supports, by absorbing sound energy with porous materials such as insulation, and by creating sound barriers between different areas. A material’s ability to absorb sound can be measured in the laboratory over a range of frequencies. The absorption at a particular frequency, expressed as a decimal fraction, is called a sound absorption coefficient. The average of a material’s sound absorption coefficients at 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz is called the Noise Reduction Coefficient, or NRC. Materials that are good sound absorbers (NRC’s close to 1.00), are usually not good at resisting the transmission of sound. But by combining a good sound absorber with a structure that resists sound transmission, you can create an effective sound barrier. An assembly’s ability to act as a sound barrier is called its transmission loss (TL). TL can be measured in the laboratory over a range of frequencies.
A single number rating, derived from TL measurements over the 125 to 4000 Hz range, is called the Sound Transmission Class, or STC of a wall, floor or ceiling. STC ratings should be used with some caution since they do not measure transmission of impact noises or low frequency noises commonly associated with mechanical equipment. They are, however, quite useful in designing office partitions where speech privacy is the main concern. Small differences in STC ratings (two or three points) are not significant; they can’t be detected by the human ear. Additionally, STC ratings obtained at different laboratories can vary by three points.
The strategies most commonly used to obtain high STC ratings are: • Increasing partition mass through the use of heavy materials such as a double layer of wallboard. • Breaking the sound transmission path by using resilient channel mountings or staggered studs. • Providing sound absorption in partition cavities by filling them with sound absorbing materials such as fiber glass insulation.

Code Information COMPLIANCE CertainTeed has a variety of insulation products that permit compliance with insulation flame spread requirements in the ICC model building code. Most codes require that flame spread ratings be determined in accordance with ASTM Test Method E 84. This method measures and describes surface flame spread and smoke developed measurements under laboratory conditions. CertainTeed unfaced fiber glass insulation products have flame spread ratings of 25 or less and smoke developed ratings no greater than 50. These ratings are a requirement of material standard ASTM C 665 for building insulation. The strictest ratings specified by the model codes are flame spread 25 or less and smoke developed rating not to exceed 50. Unfaced fiber glass products can therefore be used in exposed and concealed installations and in both combustible or noncombustible construction types.
Standard kraft facing is a vaporretarder (one perm or less) but does not have an established flame spread rating. It is therefore a non-rated facing and can only be used in combustible construction when it is concealed.
MODEL BUILDING CODE FLAME SPREAD REQUIREMENTS There are different requirements for exposed and concealed installations for combustible and noncombustible construction. Exposed means uncovered, or exposed to view. A facing is exposed, for example, if uncovered in attics, crawl spaces, basements, plenums or kneewall areas. Concealed means covered by another building material as in enclosed wall and ceiling cavities. Combustible construction means wood frame construction such as in single or multi-family housing. Noncombustible construction means construction with steel and concrete framing such as in hospitals and nursing homes.
The white reinforced polypropylene facing and the reinforced foil facing on CertainTeed basement wall insulation also have a flame spread rating of 25 or less and a smoke developed rating of 50 or less. These facings can also be left exposed.

And as a corporation, CertainTeed is a member of a number of organizations that focus on improving the energy efficiency of buildings and the products used in their construction.
Two of the most well-known of the growing roster of environmentally focused building standards are the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating Systemâ&#x201E;˘ and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) National Green Building Standards. The LEED rating system was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council to provide a national benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance sustainable buildings. In order for a building to become LEED certified, it must meet certain prerequisites and achieve specified performance levels to qualify for rating points. CertainTeed is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council and supports the LEED program. NAHB is working with the International Code Council (ICC) to develop an ANSI standard for green building practices. This standard, known as the National Green Building Standard (NGBS), provides a system for certifying homes as green buildings, awarding points to homes based on the design and material choices made in constructing the home. CertainTeed is also an NAHB member company.
CertainTeed insulation is GREENGUARDÂŽ Children & Schools Certified. CertainTeed fiber glass insulation has been certified by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute and meets the most stringent GREENGUARD standards for very low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, including formaldehyde.
ENERGY STAR is a joint effort of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. Its purpose is to encourage the ongoing development of more energy efficient products and practices. CertainTeed insulation products meet ENERGY STAR specifications, and the company is an Insulation Manufacturer Partner of the program.
