![]() Furthermore, the compacted gravel under the basement floor (or base floor) system and the backfill to the outside of the foundation or basement wall system are each specified layers within their as–built assemblies. Consider, for example, the sloped roof system shown in Figure 1 this constitutes an enclosure assembly consisting of all the contiguous layers between the finish on the ceiling and the outer face of the roof shingles. A deliberate air space or cavity is also a considered to be a layer. For instance, the thermal insulation could consist of a layer of blown-in glass fiber filaments. The overall enclosure is made up of all the contiguous enclosure sub-assemblies.Įach enclosure component is an assemblage of layers of specified products (such as gypsum board or wallpaper) or materials (such as paint or wood). Each enclosure component is a three-dimensional, multi-layer, multi-material assembly that extends from the inside face of the innermost interior layer (e.g., the paint or wallpaper) to the outside face of the outermost layer (e.g., paint or roof shingles). The building enclosure should not be thought of as a combination of numerous one-dimensional or even two-dimensional planar components. ![]()
