| | USED, THE MINIMUM NET AREA OF VENTILATION OPENINGS |
| | SHALL NOT BE LESS THAN 1 SQUARE FOOT (0.0929 M2) FOR |
| | EACH 1,500 SQUARE FEET (140 M2) OF UNDER-FLOOR SPACE |
| | AREA. ONE SUCH VENTILATING OPENING SHALL BE WITHIN 3 |

| | SHALL INCLUDE A WATER-RESISTIVE VAPOR-PERMEABLE BARRIER |
| | WITH A PERFORMANCE AT LEAST EQUIVALENT TO TWO LAYERS OF |
| | GRADE D PAPER. THE INDIVIDUAL LAYERS SHALL BE INSTALLED |
| | INDEPENDENTLY SUCH THAT EACH LAYER PROVIDES A SEPARATE |
| | CONTINUOUS PLANE AND ANY FLASHING (INSTALLED IN |
