Subject: 3031 Oregon Street Appeal Mr. Dannhoff, In a letter dated August 15, 2007 the City of Oshkosh following earlier orders had suggested that this matter may be appealed with the State of Wisconsin. Following this'determination those orders specific to this concern are not longer necessary, This information has been sent to the the appellant Mr. Boyd Coleman. Based on the resistance to fire exhibited by the Polytec Brand Expanded Polystyrene Insulation in various tests (including UL 1256) of similar assemblies to that at the project and the existence of 4" fiberglass batt insulation on the underside of the metal deck, the installation of the thermal barrier as required by Mr. Dannhoff is not necessary. When combined with the resistance to the effects of fire inherent in this specific insulation, the 4" fiberglass batt insulation is being approved as equivalent to that which might be provided by 0,47" thick wood sheathing under a different foam plastic insulation. 10/3/2007 Page 1 of1 Dannhoff, Allyn J.

Friday, September 14,2007 Department of Commerce Henry K Kosarzycki State Division of Safety and Buildings (608)212-0138 hkosarzyckiCClJ,commerce.state. wi. us Dear Mr. Kosarzycki, This letter is in regards to the re-roofing concerns at 3013 Oregon St. in Oshkosh, Wi. The re- roofing in question consists of an existing 24 gage standing seam metal roof panel with 4 inch thick fiber batt insulation. This existing system would be covered with a 2 7/8" thick expanded polystyrene insulation over the flat areas of the deck" with a ;4" G-P Gypsum Corp's Dens Deck cover board and a fully adhered 050 mil PVC membrane. Attached is a letter from Department ofIndustry, Labor, and Human Relations dated July 24, 1987, a letter from the Southwest Research Institute dated May 25, 1987, and a letter from the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. dated August 7, 2007. The main concern with this new assembly is weather a suitable thermal barrier is provided with the use of expanded polystyrene in the roof assembly. Section 2603.4 of the International Building Code states that foam plastic insulation must be separated from the interior ofthe building by a thermal barrier and the assembly must meet the requirements ofUL 1256. Based on the test conducted by the Southwest Research Group, we have concluded that this assembly meets these requirements. The Southwest Research Institute conducted a test in 1987 similar to that of the UL 1256. The roof deck assembly was exposed to a controlled fire condition in the Steiner Tunnel Furnace. This furnace is identical to that used in the UL1256 tests. The assembly consisted of fiberglass metal building insulation under a steel deck, with formed expanded polystyrene above, and covered with a glass-reinforced cement board on top. The test was to show that thermal degradation should not extend to the outside ofthe deck and that the combustive damage of the materials shall decrease as the distance from the fire increases. Thermal degradation and combustive damage are determined by the burning and charring of the materials. From the results it should be noted that there was no char through, which shows that the blanket insulation aids in acting as a thermal barrier to the expanded polystyrene. Please note that this test did use a .022 inch thick deck which corresponds to a 26 gage deck. The letter from the Department ofIndustry, Labor and Human Relations states that the product was an acceptable component for roofing as specified in ILHR 51.06 (4e). This is similar to that ofIBC 2603.4. As for passing UL 1256, the last paragraph of the UL letter to GAF on 8-7-07 also indicates that the roof deck is protected on the underside from fire by the glass fiber insulation and the assembly should meet the fire performance. * 217 Wisconsin Ave. Suite 305* Waukesha, WI 53186 * e-mail: boydc@srdinc.biz * phone: (262) 549-3222 * fax: (262) 896-2079 * ~/~/~/~~/~/~~~~/ Struc Rite Design, Inc. It should be noted that the original intention ofUL 1256 was established due to a fire in 1953 at a GM Plant in Livonia, MI. An equipment fire within the building created intense heat on the underside of the metal deck. The heat caused the bituminous vapor barrier that was applied directly to the steel deck to melt and vaporize. The volatile gases entered the building and ignited. The roof system continued to feed the fire until the 30 acres of roof collapsed. Hence the reason for providing a thermal barrier is to protect the materials above the deck from melting, vaporizing, or starting on fire. Taking a rational approach to this situation you will not see a significant thermal performance of a 22GA deck versus a 24GA or 26GA deck. A metal decks thermal performance of any thickness is not used in heat loss calculations because it provides no thermal values, so the deck thickness should not be considered to be acting as a thermal barrier in UL1256. The R value of a 3" fiberglass metal building insulation is R-11 and the R value ofYl" gypsum board is R-.45 so there should be no question that the metal building insulation provides a better thermal barrier to the expanded polystyrene insulation than the gypsum board. In addition the test performed by Southwest Research Institute demonstrates the insulatio;n held up during the test. In conclusion I feel the test provided by Southwest Research and taking a reasonable approach of the thermal capabilities ofthe metal building insulation of the re-roof system that an adequate thermal barrier is provided.

The roof deck assembly consisted of metal (steel) standing seam panefs secured to steel purlins with 4 inch thick glass fiber batt insulation draped across the purlins to secure the insulation to the underside of the standing seam" roof deck. The roof covering system is to consist of 1-1/2 in thick EPS (expanded polystyrene) insulation placed over the flat areas of the standing seam deck, covered with min. 'XI-in G-P Gypsum Corp's DensDeck cover board and a fully adhered 050 mil PVC membrane. The specific issue of concern to a building official involved the acceptance of this assembly with the additional roof cover system based on compliance with the Standard for Fire Test of Roof Deck Construction ANSIIUL 1256. It should be noted that ANSI/UL 1256 was established to evaluate the fire performance of unprotected deck construction with combustible roof cover materials on the top-side. In the above assembly the roof deck is protected on the underside from fire by the glass fiber insulation. Based on this assessment of the revisions to the assembly as described above it is our opinion that the assembly would comply with fire performance requirements specified under ANSIIUL 1256.

I presume you are looking for a determination based upon the letter from UIL. Having reviewed the letter, I did not see any information indicating how these indiviciuals arrived at their decision. I spoke to Mr. Patel (UIL) on Tuesday, August 14,2007 to inquire how they arrived at their conclusion. Mr. Patel provided no technical reasons for their opinion, conclusion. As previously related to you, per mc 2603.4 foam products are required to be separated from the interior of the building by an approved 15 minute thermal barrier. The exception to this requirement, per 2603.4.1.5 is when the foam is part of a "Class A, B or C roof-covering assembly, provided the assembly with the foam plastic insulation satisfactorily passes FM 4450 or UL 1256. The letter from UL gives no information on how the installed system meets either of these criteria. As a result, my determination on the compliance status remains unchanged.

The roof deck assembly consisted of metal (steel) standing seam panels secured to steel purlins with 4 inch thick glass fiber batt insulation draped across the purlins to secure the insulation to the underside of the standing seam roof deck. The roof covering system is to consist of 1-1/2 in thick EPS (expanded polystyrene) insulation placed over the flat areas of the standing seam deck, covered with min. %-in G-P Gypsum Corp's DensDeck cover board and a fully adhered 050 mil PVC membrane. The specific issue of concern to a building official involved the acceptance of this assembly with the additional roof cover system based on compliance with the Standard for Fire Test of Roof Deck Construction ANSI/UL 1256. It should be noted that ANSI/UL 1256 was established to evaluate the fire performance of unprotected deck construction with combustible roof cover materials on the top-side. In the above assembly the roof deck is protected on the underside from fire by the glass fiber insulation. Based on this assessment of the revisions to the assembly as described above it is our opinion that the assembly would comply with fire performance requirements specified under ANSI/UL 1256.
