New York A07282 allows unvented attics and enclosed rafter assemblies to be sealed with air-impermeable insulation to help achieve building.

New York A07282 amends the executive law to permit unvented attics and unvented enclosed rafter assemblies to be sealed with air-impermeable insulation. This change aims to help New York attain its building decarbonization goals. The exposed portion of the roof rafters must be insulated by a minimum R-3 unless directly covered by drywall or finished ceiling. Indoor heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment must be inside the building thermal envelope. The bill aligns with the state's clean energy and climate agenda, including greenhouse gas reduction requirements.
