Applicant 2. Manufacturing Facilities 2711 North Main Street East Peoria, Illinois, USA, Truck Haven Road East Preoria, Illinois USA, Tel: Fax: Web: 3. Description The by is a combination of thin layers of closed cell foam insulation, an aluminium reflective material and a protective poly coating which forms a tarp-like insulation blanket. s claim that the material is not affected by moisture or humidity such that its thermal insulation properties will not be reduced over time. The vapour permeance of the product is 0 ng/pa.s.m 2. R 1 R 1 The is intended to be installed directly on top of the ground with aconcrete slab-on-ground radiant heating system. The, DRFB 12.7 mm (0.5 ) has a reported RSI value equivalent to RSI 1.76, when tested in accordance with ASTM C Standard Test Method for Steady-State Thermal Performance of Building Assemblies by Means of a Guarded Hot Box. The is available in rolls of 3.66 m (12-0 ) and 1.83 m (6-0 ) in width. Page 1 of 5

2 4. Authorization Requested The applicant sought a Building Materials Evaluation Commission (BMEC) authorization for the use of, under concrete floors supported on ground applications, to improve the thermal performance of radiant heat systems, and as an alternative insulation as required by Division B, Subsections Thermal Insulation, and Vapour Barriers of O.Reg. 350/07 (the Building Code ). 5. Assessment Reports and assessments provided by the applicant show that if the, is designed, performance tested and installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and limitations and the specific terms and conditions stated in this authorization, the level of performance required by the Building Code will be provided.

4 mm (0.5 ). 2. The must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer s installation instructions. 3. The shall only be used in buildings regulated by Part 9 of the Building Code. 4. The shall be installed in one layer application only. 5. The shall be installed only under concrete slabs-on-ground that incorporate radiant heating systems. 6. The, installed under concrete slabs-on-ground, shall be located so that heat from the building is not restricted from reaching the ground beneath the perimeter, where exterior walls are not supported by a footing extending below the frost level. B. General Conditions 1. The use of the s as described in Section 3. and 6. A. Specific Terms and Conditions must comply with the Building Code Act, 1992 as amended or re-enacted from time to time and except as specifically authorized herein, with the Building Code as amended or remade from time to time. 2. A copy of this Authorization shall accompany each application for a building permit and shall be maintained on the site of the construction with the building permit. 3. The Applicant named in Part 1 hereof shall promptly notify the BMEC of (a) (b) the failure of the Applicant, or of the material, system or building design that is the subject matter of this Authorization, to comply with any of the terms and conditions set out in 6. A. above; or the occurrence of any of the events described in Conditions 6. B. 4. (a) and (b) (ii) below. 4.
