Does the Ember Deflector System™ conflict with local building codes?
No. The Ember Deflector System™ (“EDS”) is a home fire prevention system designed to be retrofitted over existing eave, gable, roof, and crawlspace/foundation vents. The system does not take the place of a vent or replace a vent. Individual Ember Deflector units are installed over existing vents. As such, the system does not require a building permit to install. It does not violate building codes because it doesn’t obstruct the vents when the doors are open, which means the carefully-engineered attic and crawlspace ventilation systems continue to operate like normal.
