This is hard to believe, but, I have a contractor who started an HVAC job without a permit, and most of the system and duct work was completed by the time I found him. He had installed fiberglass duct board in the unconditioned basement that doesn't meet the minimum R-value as per 2009 IRC. Is there an avenue in which the contractor can add some sort of insulation to the duct board?
My initial position is no because of the issues associated with adding insulation on top of a vapor barrier. Furthermore, through online searching I have yet to find any acceptable method to add insulation to duct board.
