<DIV class=Wj3C7c>Hi, I'm wondering if 90.1 makes any stipulations regarding
building air<BR>infiltration, for example can there be a difference between
proposed design<BR>and energy budget building? I can't seem to find any
reference to facade<BR>air tightness but the standard is a pretty dense
document to wade though.<BR>Is there a more easily digested summary available
anywhere?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Nick<BR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
