For those of you installing batteries inside homes how are you treating this poorly-worded section of Code?
*NFPA 855 - 15.4.2:* *If the room or space where the ESS is to be installed is not finished or non-combustible, the walls and ceilings of the room or space shall be protected with not less than 5/8 in. Type X gypsum board.* This section of fire code has given us much consternation over the years. Most installations in this climate are going into unfinished basements. Are you all installing 5/8 sheetrock for the entire basement? Just the area around the batteries? Something else? Thanks in advance for any thoughts. -- Nicholas Ponzio Building Energy 1570 South Brownell Road Williston, VT 05495 http://www.BuildingEnergyVT.com <http://www.buildingenergyvt.com/> "Building Solutions for a Sustainable Future"
