The
LiteHouse is designed to meet building code requirements
across the country. It protects the floor/ceiling assembly
from malfunctioning or overheating light fixtures and prohibit
the spread of fire to the substructure and adjacent floors.
The
LiteHouse also meets US Department of Energy mandated
energy efficiency requirements for light fixtures placed in
ceilings of commercial and residential buildings. It forms
an air-tight barrier between conditioned living spaces and
unconditioned attic spaces to help reduce energy loss. These
building envelope requirements are detailed in the following
codes:
- 2003,
2006 International Building Code (IBC)
- 2003,
2006 International Residential Code (IRC)
- 2003,
2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
-
Title 24 of the 2005 California Building Energy
Efficiency Standards

Energy Savings
In
addition to these fire and energy code requirements, reducing
air leaks is recommended by the ENERGY STAR®
quaified new home guidance program. Sealing your building
against air leaks can save you money and installing the LiteHouse
can help. Check out seal
and insulate ENERGY STAR®

The
LiteHouse family of recessed light fixture enclosures
are the only UL Classified enclosures manufactured
with fire resistant gypsum wallboard that are both fire resistant
and air-tight.
