| | QUESTION: |

| | INSULATION IN BUILDING TYPES III, IV & V. |
| | COMMENT: |
| | THE 2007 FBC-B COMMENTARY 719.1 WITHIN THE LAST |
| | PARAGRAPH STATES THE ADDITION OF INSULATION HAS THE |
| | POTENIAL TO EITHER ADD TO |
| | OR REDUCE THE FIRE-RESISTANCE RATING OF AN ASSEMBLY. |
| | THE REDUCTION OF RATINGS IS MORE OF A PROBLEM WHEN THE |
| | INSULATION IS ADDES |
| | INTO A HORIZONTAL ASSEMBLY. NOTED FLOOR CEILING |
| | ASSEMBLIES LIST THE TYPE OF INSULATION WITHIN THE |
| | ASSEMBLY. THE QUESTION IS DOES |
| | THE CODE SECTION 719.2 REQUIRE FLAME SPREAD AND SMOKE |
| | DEVELOPMENT FOR BUILDING TYPES III, IV OR V? |
| | ANSWER: |
| | YES. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED COMMENTARY FOR |
| | INFORMATION. |
| | COMMENTARY: |
| | FLOORING INSULATION, WHETHER IT BE THERMAL OR SOUND |
| | INSULATION, PLACED IN A FLOOR (CONCEALED) WOULD BE |
| | REQUIRED TO MEET THE FLAME |
| | SPREAD REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 719.2. THERE ARE SOME |
| | EXCEPTIONS AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS CALLED OUT, HOWEVER, |
| | IF IT IS A FIRE RATED |
| | ASSEMBLY, THE FIRE TESTING OF THE ASSEMBLY WOULD HAVE |
| | TO INCLUDE THE MATERIALS USED. IN ADDITION, THE |
| | MATERIALS WOULD HAVE TO |
| | MEET THE STC REQUIREMENTS AT SECTION 1207. THERE ARE |
| | MANY TYPE 3 & 5 BUILDINGS OUT THERE BEING BUILT. SOME |
| | MAY HAVE WOOD |

| | FOUND IN 719.2 ARE MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN FOR TYPE I |
