SHSC HVAC and Roof Replacement Smith Sinnett / 2020072 <br />Orange County, North Carolina <br /> <br /> <br />THERMAL INSULATION 07 21 00 - 1 <br /> <br /> <br />SECTION 07 21 00 - THERMAL INSULATION <br />PART 1 - GENERAL <br />1.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS <br />A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and <br />Division 01 Specification Sections, apply to this Section. <br />1.2 SUMMARY <br />A. This Section includes the following: <br />1. Roof Insulation <br />2. Cavity Wall Insulation <br />B. Related Sections include the following: <br />1. Division 04 Section "Unit Masonry" for installation of rigid insulation in cavity walls and masonry <br />cells. <br />2. Division 07 Section “Thermoplastic Polyolefin Roofing” for installation of insulation. <br />3. Division 09 Section "Gypsum Board" for installation in metal-framed assemblies of insulation <br />specified by referencing this Section. <br />4. Division 22 Section “Plumbing Insulation” for insulation of plumbing fixtures and piping. <br />5. Division 23 Section "HVAC Insulation” for insulation of hvac fixtures, piping, and duct work. <br />1.3 DEFINITIONS <br />A. Thermal Resistivity: Where the thermal resistivity of insulation products are designated by "r-values," <br />they represent the reciprocal of thermal conductivity (k-values). Thermal conductivity is the rate of heat <br />flow through a homogenous material exactly 1 inch thick. Thermal resistivities are expressed by the <br />temperature difference in degrees F between the two exposed faces required to cause one BTU to flow <br />through one square foot per hour at mean temperatures indicated. <br />1.4 SUBMITTALS <br />A. Product Data: For each type of product indicated. <br />B. Samples for Verification: Full-size units for each type of exposed insulation indicated. <br />C. Product Test Reports: Based on evaluation of comprehensive tests performed by a qualified testing <br />agency for insulation products. <br />D. Research/Evaluation Reports: For foam-plastic insulation. <br />1.5 QUALITY ASSURANCE <br />A. Source Limitations: Obtain each type of building insulation through one source from a single <br />manufacturer. <br />B. Fire-Test-Response Characteristics: Provide insulation and related materials with the fire-test-response <br />characteristics indicated, as determined by testing identical products per test method indicated below by <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 94E7997D-4F29-42F6-A9B4-0A160438D2A6
