Abstract
Code changes may benefit SPF installers. For the first time, continuous air barrier systems will be required by ASHRAE under Addendum z to Standard 90.1-2004. This proposed new standard has been in public review since November 2005 and should be adopted in 2006 -- this is the first ASHRAE standard to establish performance requirements for air leakage of the opaque building envelope
