substrate and perimeter conditions shall have appropriate accessory materials at such locations. The air barrier assembly shall be capable of withstanding combined design wind, fan and stack pressures, both positive and negative, on the envelope without damage or displacement and shall transfer the load to the structure. Materials of the air barrier assembly shall not displace adjacent materials in the assembly under full load. The air barrier assembly shall be joined in an airtight and flexible manner to the air barrier materials of adjacent assemblies, allowing for the relative movement of assemblies due to thermal and moisture variations, creep, and anticipated seismic movement. Connections to Adjacent Materials: Provide air barrier accessory materials to prevent air leakage at the following locations: Foundation and walls, including penetrations, ties and anchors. Walls, windows, curtain walls, storefronts, louvers and doors. Different assemblies, and fixed openings within those assemblies. Wall and roof connections. Floors over unconditioned space. Walls, floor and roof across construction, control and expansion joints. Walls, floors and roof to utility, pipe and duct penetrations. Seismic and expansion joints. All other potential air leakage pathways in the building envelope. SUBMITTALS Submittals: Submit in accordance with Division 1 requirements. Quality Assurance Program: Submit evidence of current Contractor accreditation and Installer certification under the National Air Barrier Association’s (NABA) Quality Assurance Program. Submit accreditation number of the Contractor and certification number(s) of the NABA Certified Installer(s). Product Data: Submit material manufacturer’s Product Data, instructions for evaluating, preparing, and treating substrate, temperature and other limitations of installation conditions, technical data, and tested physical and performance properties. Samples: Submit clearly labeled samples, three 75 mm by 100 mm [three (3) inch by four (4) inch] minimum size of each material specified.
