The use of air retarders in roof assemblies has been somewhat common on Canada, but is relatively new in the U.S. With the publication of the International Energy Conservation Code, 2012 Edition, and International Green Construction Code, 2012 Edition, the use of air barriers in roof assemblies is now a code requirement in the U.S. This session will review requirements for the use of air retarders, how they are being used in Canada and how they will likely be implemented into roof assemblies in the U.S. Also, joint CRCA/NRCA research on air leakage rate testing of mechanically-attached single-ply roof membrane assemblies will be discussed.

1. Review basic air barrier and air retarder terminology

2. Define IECC 2012 and IgCC 2012 requirements for air retarders and the impact these requirements have on roof assemblies

3. Be knowledgeable of experiences in Canada with the use of air retarders

4. Review data derived from CRCA/NRCA's air leakage testing of mechanically-attached single-ply roof membrane assemblies
