M Comers,headers,narrow framing cavities,and rim joists are insulated. <br /> (9)Shower/tub on exterior wall:Insulation exists between showers/tubs and exterior wall. <br /> Sunrooms: <br /> Sunrooms that are thermally isolated from the building envelope have a maximum fenestration U-factor of 0.50 and the maximum <br /> skylight U-factor of 0.75.New windows and doors separating the sunroom from conditioned space meet the building thermal envelope <br /> requirements. <br /> Materials Identification and Installation: <br /> Materials and equipment are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions. <br /> Insulation is installed in substantial contact with the surface being insulated and in a manner that achieves the rated R-value. <br /> Q Materials and equipment are identified so that compliance can be determined. <br /> Manufacturer manuals for all installed heating and cooling equipment and service water heating equipment have been provided. <br /> Insulation R-values,glazing U-factors,and heating equipment efficiency are clearly marked on the building plans or specifications. <br /> Duct Insulation: <br /> Supply ducts in attics are insulated to a minimum of R-8.All other ducts in unconditioned spaces or outside the building envelope are <br /> insulated to at least R-6. <br /> Duct Construction and Testing: <br /> Building framing cavities are not used as supply ducts. <br /> All joints and seams of air ducts,air handlers,filter boxes,and building cavities used as return ducts are substantially airtight by means <br /> of tapes,mastics,liquid sealants,gasketing or other approved closure systems.Tapes,mastics,and fasteners are rated UL 181A or <br /> UL 181 B and are labeled according to the duct construction.Metal duct connections with equipment and/or fittings are mechanically <br /> fastened.Crimp joints for round metal ducts have a contact lap of at least 1 1/2 inches and are fastened with a minimum of three <br /> equally spaced sheet-metal screws. <br /> Exceptions: <br /> Joint and seams covered with spray polyurethane foam. <br /> Where a partially inaccessible duct connection exists,mechanical fasteners can be equally spaced on the exposed portion of the <br /> joint so as to prevent a hinge effect. <br /> Continuously welded and locking-type longitudinal joints and seams on ducts operating at less than 2 in.w.g.(500 Pa). <br /> Cj Duct tightness test has been performed and meets one of the following test criteria: <br /> (1)Postconstruction leakage to outdoors test:Less than or equal to 8 drn per 100 111:2 of conditioned floor area. <br /> (2)Postconstruction total leakage test(including air handler enclosure):Less than or equal to 12 cfm per 100 ft2 pressure differential of <br /> 0.1 inches w.g. <br /> (3)Rough-in total leakage test with air handler installed:Less than or equal to 6 cfm per 100 ft2 of conditioned floor area when tested at <br /> a pressure differential of 0.1 inches w.g. <br /> (4)Rough-in total leakage test without air handler installed:Less than or equal to 4 cfm per 100 ft2 of conditioned floor area. <br /> Temperature Controls: <br /> 0 At least one programmable thermostat is installed to control the primary heating system and has set-points initialized at 70 degree F for <br /> the heating cycle and 78 degree F for the cooling cycle. <br /> Heating and Cooling Equipment Sizing: <br /> L3 Additional requirements for equipment sizing are included by an inspection for compliance with the International Residential Code. <br /> 0 For systems serving multiple dwelling units documentation has been submitted demonstrating compliance with 2009 IECC Commercial <br /> Building Mechanical and/or Service Water Heating(Sections 503 and 504). <br /> Circulating Service Hot Water Systems: <br /> Circulating service hot water pipes are insulated to R-2. <br /> Circulating service hot water systems include an automatic or accessible manual switch to tum off the circulating pump when the <br /> system is not in use. <br /> Heating and Cooling Piping Insulation: <br /> L] HVAC piping conveying fluids above 105 degrees F or chilled fluids below 55 degrees F are insulated to R-3. <br /> Swimming Pools: <br /> Lj Heated swimming pools have an on/off heater switch. <br /> 0 Pool heaters operating on natural gas or LPG have an electronic pilot light. <br /> 0 Timer switches on pool heaters and pumps are present. <br /> Project Title: Lori and Rich Gherardi Report date: 05/08/11 <br /> Data filename: C:\Brennan Prop LLC\Watertown\watertown.rck Page 3 of 4 <br />
