Building Construction Handbook, Eighth Edition

(Nancy Kaufman) #1

Notes:




  1. Cavity barriers prevent fire spread.
    The principal locations are between
    elements and compartments of
    construction (see B. Regs. A.D. B3).




  2. Thermal bridging through solid
    framing may be reduced by using rigid
    EPS insulation and lighter `I' section
    members of plywood or oriented
    strand board (OSB).
