The Capital Development Board must adopt provisions requiring insulation in unvented attics and rafter assemblies to meet specific standards. These include air sealing with R-30 insulation and a maximum U-Factor of 0.038. The bill also mandates that houses attain a blower door test result of less than 2.5 air changes per hour at 50 pascals and require a balanced whole house mechanical ventilation system.
