In CSI MasterFormat Division 07, which type of work would typically be specified?
Correct Answer
C) Thermal and moisture protection
Division 07 covers thermal and moisture protection, including insulation, roofing, waterproofing, and sealants.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Division 07 in the CSI MasterFormat is specifically dedicated to Thermal and Moisture Protection systems. This division encompasses all building envelope components that control heat transfer, air infiltration, and moisture penetration including insulation, roofing systems, waterproofing membranes, vapor barriers, and sealants. These systems are critical for building performance, energy efficiency, and preventing moisture-related damage.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Electrical systems
Concrete formwork is classified under Division 03 - Concrete, as it relates to the temporary structures used to shape and support concrete during placement and curing.
Option B: Concrete formwork
Electrical systems are covered under Division 26 - Electrical in the CSI MasterFormat, which includes power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, and communication systems.
Memory Technique
Think '07 = Overcoat' - Division 07 is like the building's overcoat that protects it from weather (thermal and moisture protection)
