Exterior insulation has a rigid,opaque,weather-resistant protective covering that covers the exposed(above�rade)insulation and extends at least 6 in.below grade. Heating and Cooling Equipment: ❑ Air Conditioner 1:Electric Central Air: 17 SEER or higher Make and Model Number: ❑ Furnace 1:Forced Hot Air:95 AFUE or higher Make and Model Number: Air Leakage: � Joints,penetrations,and all other such openings in the building envelope that are sources of air leakage are sealed. � Recessed lights are 1)Type IC rated,or 2)installed inside an appropriate air-tight assembly with a 0.5"clearance from combustible materials. If non-IC rated,fixtures are installed with a 3"clearance from insulation. Vapor Retarder: � Installed on the warm-in-winter side of all non-vented framed ceilings,walls,and floors. Materials Identification: � Materials and equipment are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions. � Materials and equipment are identified so that compliance can be determined. � Manufacturer manuals for all installed heating and cooling equipment and service water heating equipment have been provided. � Insulation R-values,glazing U-factors,and heating and cooling equipment efficiency are clearly marked on the building plans or specifications. � Insulation is installed according to manufacturer's instructions,in substantial contact with the surface being insulated,and in a manner that achieves the rated R-value without compressing the insulation. Duct Insulation: � Ducts in unconditioned spaces are insulated to R-5.Ducts outside the building are insulated to R-8.0. Duct Construction: � All joints,seams,and connections are securely fastened with welds,gaskets,mastics(adhesives),mastic-plus-embedded-fabric, or tapes.Tapes and mastics are rated UL 181A or UL 181 B. Exceptions: Continuously welded and locking-type longitudinal joints and seams on ducts operating at less than 2 in.w.g.(500 Pa). � The HVAC system provides a means for balancing air and water systems. Temperature Controls: � Thermostats exist for each separate HVAC system.A manual or autumatic means to partially restrict or shut off the heating and/or cooling input to each zone or floor is provided. Service Water Heating: � Water heaters with vertical pipe risers have a heat trap on both the inlet and outlet unless the water heater has an integral heat trap or is part of a circulating system. � Circulating hot water pipes are insulated to the levels in Table 1. Circulating Hot Water Systems: � Circulating hot water pipes are insulated to the levels in Table 1. Swimming Pools: � All heated swimming pools have an on/off heater switch and a cover unless over 20%of the heating energy is from non-depletable sources.Pool pumps have a time clock. Heating and Cooling Piping Insulation: � HVAC piping conveying fluids above 105 degrees F or chilled fluids below 55 degrees F are insulated to the levels in Table 2.
