NR = Not Required.
ci = continuous insulation
A. R-values are minimums. U-factors and SHGC are maximums. When insulation is installed in a cavity which is less than the label or design thickness of the insulation, the installed R-value of the insulation shall not be less than the R-value specified in the table.
B. The fenestration U-factor column excludes skylights. The SHGC column applies to all glazed fenestration. Exception: In Climate Zones 1 through 3, skylights will be permitted to be excluded from glazed fenestration SHGC requirements, provided that the SHGC for such skylights does not exceed 0.30.
C. “5ci OR 13” means R-5 continuous insulation (ci) on the interior or exterior of the home or R-13 cavity insulation on the interior side of the wall. “10ci or 13” means R-10 continuous insulation on the interior or exterior surface of the wall or R-13 cavity insulation on the interior side of the wall, “15ci or19 or 13& 15ci” means R-15 continuous insulation (ci) on the interior or exterior of the wall; or R-19 cavity insulation on the interior side of the or R-13 cavity insulation on the interior of the wall in addition to R-5 continuous insulation on the interior or exterior surface of the wall.
D. R-5 shall be provided under the full slab area of a heated slab in addition to the required slab edge insulation R-value for slabs, as indicated in the table. The slab edge insulation for heated slabs shall not be required to extend below the slab.
E. There are no SHGC requirements in the Marine Zone.
F. Basement wall insulation is not required in warm-humid locations as defined by Figure R301.1 and Table R301.1.
G. The first value is cavity insulation, the second value is continuous insulation. Therefore, as an example, “13+5” means R13 cavity insulation plus R-5 continuous insulation.
H. Mass walls shall be in accordance with Section R402.2.5. The second R-value applies where more than half of the insulation is on the interior mass of the wall.
4-1402.3 Section 402.4.1.2 Testing. Delete section. Codes Administrator will perform an insulation inspection but will not require a blower door test.
(Ord. 1103; Ord. 1146)
Delete section. Building Official will perform an insulation inspection but will not require a blower door test.
(Ord. 1103; Ord. 1146)
Is amended to read: Heated water circulation systems may be provided with a circulation pump. The system return pipe shall be a dedicated return pipe or a cold-water supply pipe. Controls for circulating hot water systems pumps shall start the pump based on the identification of a demand for hot water within the occupancy. The control shall automatically turn off the pump when the water in the circulation loop is at the desired temperature and when there is no demand for hot water.
(Ord. 1103; Ord. 1146)
Is amended to read: Insulation for hot water pipe with a minimum thermal resistance (R-Value) of R-3 shall be applied to the following:
1. Piping located outside the conditioned space.
2. Piping from the water heater to a distribution manifold
3. Piping located under a floor slab.
4. Buried in piping.
5. Supply and return piping in recirculating systems other than demand recirculation systems.
(Ord. 1103; Ord. 1146)
Table R406.5. is amended to read as follows:
R406.5 ERI-Based Compliance. Compliance based on an ERI analysis requires that the rated proposed design and confirmed built dwelling be shown to have an ERI less than or equal to the appropriate value listed in Table R406.5 when compared to the ERI reference design.
