Date: 02/17/2000

Question

Does section 11.1.B require a statement as to the amount of attic insulation observed or the required amount of insulation?

Response

No. Section 11.1.B states the inspector shall describe: 1.) the insulation and vapor retarders in unfinished spaces and 2.) the absence of insulation in unfinished spaces at conditioned surfaces. The requirement is to describe (to report a system or component by its type or other observed, significant characteristics to distinguish it from other systems or components) insulation in these locations and report the absences of insulation in these locations. No requirement exists to report the amount observed or the amount required.
