The Commission has approved an energy credit for radiant -barriers meeting specific eligibility
and installation criteria.
The radiant barrier energy credit is an, adjustment to the ceiling U=value when the ceiling is
adjacent to an attic with a_ radiant barrier. The credit is automatically applied by modeling a
radiant barrier in an approved computer program with this optional capability.
Construction
Below are the parameters for receiving credit for a radiant barrier, including criteria for the
installation, ventilation and material, all of which contribute to the performance of the radiant
barrier. ,
Installation
Installation must be in conformance with ASTM C-1158-97 (Standard Practice for Use and,
Installation of Radiant Barrier Systems (RBS) in Building Construction.), ASTM C-727- `
90(1996)e1 (Standard Practice for Installation and Use of Reflective Insulation in Building
Const r ctigas.), ASTM C- 13-975 (Standard Specification for Sheet radiant Barriers for
.Building construction Appli ations), and ASTM C-1224-99 (Stanord Specification for

1. Draped over the truss/rafter ( the top chord) before the upper roof deck is installed.
2. Spanning between the truss/rafters (top chords) ,and secured (stapled) to each side.
3. Secured (stapled) to the bottom surface of the truss/rafter (top chord). A minimum air
space must be maintained between the top surface of the radiant barrier and roof decking
of not less than 1.5 inches at the center of the truss/rafter span.

Madlin's Enterprises — Addendums & Notes
4. Attached [laminated] directly to the underside of the roof decking. The radiant barrier must
be laminated and perforated by the manufacturer to allow moisture/vapor transfer through
the roof deck.
The radiant barrier must be installed to cover all gable end walls and other vertical surfaces in
the attic.
Ventilation
The attic must be nt'la ed to:
1. Conform to a a t rer `rrstrtict'
2. Provide a i �m � e e til ti rea o n t les4a[ ne square foot f vent area for
each 150 �are�fee at#- to r,
3. " Provide no less than 30 percent upper vents. (Ridge vents or gable end vents are
recommended to achieve the best performance. The material should be cut to allow for full
air flow to the venting.)
The radiant barrier (except for radiant. barriers laminated directly to the rood deck) must be ,
installed to:
1. Have a. minimum gap of 3.5 inches between the bottom of the radiant barrier and the top of
the ceiling insulation to allow ventilation air to.f.ow between the roof decking and the top
surface of the radiant barrier.
2. Have a minimum of six (6) inches (measured horizontally) left at the roof peak to allow hot
air to escape from, the air space between the roof decking and the top surface of the radiant
barrier.
When installed in enclosed rafter spaces where ceilings are applied directly to the underside of
roof rafters minimum ai space of 1 inch must be provided between the radiant barrier and
the 4, the ceiling insul 'on, and ventilation must be providedpar each rafter space. Vents
must a roved -at -be h th tppe n to e�, en sof # a 'r, 14 aft ac .
Emiss iin Y (r u

• The emissivity of the radiant barrier must bp less than or equal to 0.05as tested in
accordance .with ASTM C-1371-98 or ASTA4408-7(1996)e 1.
The product must meet all requirements for California certified insulation material [radiant
barriers] of the Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Home Furnishings and
Thermal Insulation.
Madlin's Enterprises - Addendums & Notes
• r
Note: Aluminum will deteriorate or corrode in. the presence of alkaline materials.'Unless the
aluminum foil is protected by waterproofed paper or plastic coating, keep it from coming into
direct contact with anything alkaline, such as masonry surfaces.
Inspection
If a radiant barrier was used for compliance credit, check the installation guidelines provided
above for the builder. Especially critical are the ventilation and air space requirements that
enable the radiant barrier to perform as expected.

Approved HERS -raters conduct-the-fieldwerifieatioA diagno tic testing and in'spe`ctions, and
provide Certificate of Field Verification and Diagnostic Testing (CF -4R) forms or notification that
corrective actions are needed. HERS raters must.be independent of both the builder and sub-
contractor who installed the duct systems being field verified, and can have no financial interest
in making corrections to the systems. As special inspectors HERS raters can not be employed
by subcontractors or, parties, other than the builder, whose work they are evaluating.
Building Departments
Building departments consider approved HERS raters to be special inspectors. HERS raters
must demonstrate competence, to the satisfaction of the building official, for the visual
inspections and diagnostic testing. The building department, at its discretion, may require field
verification testing and inspection'to be conducted in conjunction with the building department's
required inspections, and/or observe installer diagnostic testing and HERS rater verification in
conjunction with the building department's required inspections to corroborate the results
documented in installer certifications, and in the Certificate of Field Verification and Diagnostic
Testing (CF -4R).

How does it work?
It is a proven scientific fact that most
heat transfer is by radiation. Polar-PlyTm
is very effective in stopping heat transfer
because it is a barrier to radiant heat
transfer employing the principles of low
emissivity (low -e) and high reflectivity.
NASA uses this same technology to protect
its astronauts and space vehicles.
When most people think of insulation they
tend to think of mass insulation such as
fiberglass. Mass insulation retards heat
flow through resistance to conductive heat
transfer (R -value). Mass insulation only
addresses radiant heat flow incidentally
and inefficiently.
During hot weather, homes experience
unwanted heat gains predominantly by
radiant Heat transfer. Summer heat
equals radiant heat. This is certainly true
and easy to understand during the
daylight hours when the hot sun is blazing
on your roof. But, even after the sun sets,
the accumulated heat remains stored in
the mass insulation, drywall, and framing
' Tested with 7/16" CDX plywood
members. The ceiling and wall surfaces
continue to re -radiate this heat into your
home long into the night. This keeps your
air conditioner working longer and harder,
all the while adding to your cooling bills.
Instead of this intense radiant heat
transfer into your attic and ceiling,
Polar-PIyTm effectively stops 97% of these
heat rays. Your mass Insulation stays
cooler and your ceiling stays cooler. This
translates Into comfortable living spaces
at significantly lower cost.
Benefits of Polar-PIyT.
I. Keeps the temperature of existing
mass Insulation and ceilings lower,
thereby reducing the radiant heat
transfer into the living space and
increasing occupant comfort.
2. No additional installation labor
required.
3. Approved for energy credit in Model
Energy Code & California Energy
Commission Title 24.
4. Significant savings in utility cooling
bills; as much as 250/..
5. Important reduction in flame spread
rating of the roof sheathing.
6. Reduces workload for the cooling
equipment, extending its life
expectancy.
7. Cooler attic air and the elimination of
most radiant heat gain make for
marked improvement in efficiency of
vulnerable a/c supply ducts located in
attics.
8. Noticeably reduces garage
temperature.
9. Durable; should last for the life of the
home.
10. Environmentally friendly.

Application Notes
Install according to panel manufacturers'
recommended installation specifications.
No special procedures are necessary.
For proper performance, the radiant barrier
should face an evacuated air space of at
least 3/4".
* Care should be taken in the storage,
handling, and installation of Polar -Ply'
to ensure that the moisture content does
not exceed that of the board manufactur-
ers' recommendation. A high moisture
content may lead to delamination of the
radiant barrier facing and possible
deterioration of the board.

Warnings
Aluminum is a good conductor of electricity. During
installation avoid open electrical circuits and other
exposed electrical current situations to prevent electric
shock. Electric shock can result in injury or death.
This product may have an effect on whether
condensation will occur. Condensation is a
natural and common phenomenon that can occur at
the walls and roof of buildings under certain
conditions. Many circumstances including the mix of
material, weather, and other factors will effect
whether condensation occurs, the degree to which it
occurs, and the effect condensation will have on the
components of the building. Where these conditions
may exist, special attention should be given to proper
ventilation and corrosion -resistant fasteners.

LoE
n 1984 Cardinal introduced its Lot
Insulating lass. In 1985 Cardinal intro-
duced LoE Sun and in 1989 Cardinal
introduced LoE2 Coated Glass Products.
The Lot Sun coatings were developed to
provide improved shading coefficient and
solar heat gain coefficient performance.
The LoE2 coatings were developed to
provide better summer daytime perfor-
mance with only a slight reduction in visi-
ble light transmittance. Because of the
excellent winter nighttime and summer
daytime performance characteristics of
the LoE2 product, it is becoming the prod-
uct of choice for many residential window
applications.
LoE Descriptions

LoE Product Code
Low Emissivity Coatings
The following generalizations can be
made regarding low emissivity coatings
utilized in insulating glass:
1- LI -Value (heat transfer) performance
does not change whether the coating
is on No. 2 or No. 3 surface.
2. The lower the emissivity of the coating,
the lower the LI -Value of the IG unit.
3. The shading and solar heat gain coeffi-
cients of the unit will be lower when the
coating is placed on No. 2 surface
than when the coating is on the No. 3
surfar�.
4. Lot is not a heat trap. LoE is beneficial
for winter and summertime conditions.
Radiant Energy
The energy from the sun (Short Wave
Radiation) is transmitted through the
insulating glass unit to the building's
interior. After being absorbed by carpet-
ing, draperies, furniture, walls, etc., the
radiation becomes long wave infrared
radiation. Heat energy from lights, heat-
ing registers, office equipment,. etc., is
also long wave infrared radiation. When
the long wave infrared energy tries to
escape through the glass, the LoE2-171
coating reflects approximately 96% of
this energy back into the room with a
resultant lower winter U -Value.

Emissivity Measurements
Emissivity is measured by using a
spectrometer. By using this method,
only normal emissivity energy data is
obtained. To establish the most exact
and realistic emissivity, the normal
emissivity must be converted to a hemi-
spherical emissivity by formula.
If normal emissivity is used in lieu of
hemispherical emissivity, the normal
emissivity will show an unrealistic lower
emissivity and therefore will underpredict
the glass energy transfer and resultant
wintertime U -Value.
Cardinal IG has used hemispherical
emissivity and the PGMC (Primary Glass
Manufacturers Council) Emittance
Calculation Procedure for determining
the U -Values of the LoE-178, LoE1-171
and LoE Sun -145 products listed in this
brochure.
