<br />DESCRIPTION OF BUILDING COMPONENTS USTED
<br />Percent 01 Glass to Floor Aree: This percentage is calculated by dividing the total of all glass areas by the total conditioned floor area,
<br />Overhang: The overhang is the distance the roof or soffit projects out horizontally from the face of the glass, All glass areas shall be under an overhang of at least the prescribed length with the following exceptions: 1) glass
<br />on the gabled ends of a house and 2) the glass in the lower stories of a multi-story house,
<br />Wall, Ceiling and Floor Insulation Values: The R-values indicated represent the minimum acceptable insulation level added to the structural components of the wall, ceiling or floor, The R-value of the structural building
<br />materials shall not be included in this calculation, 'Common' components are those separating conditioned tenancies in a multifamily building, 'Adjacenr components separate conditioned space from unconditioned but
<br />enclosed space, 'Exterior" components separate conditioned space from unconditioned and unenclosed space,
<br />Floor: Slab-an-grade floors without edge insulation are acceptable, Raised wood floors shall have continuous stem walls with insulation placed on the stem wall or under the floor except Package 0,
<br />Ducts: 'COND' indicates that the ducts must be installed within the conditioned space; that is, the ductwork shall be located on the conditioned side of the insulation, Ducts in conditioned space are acceptable for any
<br />prescriptive package,
<br />Space Cooling System: Cooling systems shall have a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) for central units or Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) for room units or PTAC's equal to or greater than the prescribed value,
<br />Electric Space Heeting Option: Heat pump systems shall be rated with a Heating Seasonal Pertonnance Factor (HSPF) equal to or greater than the prescribed HSPF, Heat pump systems may contain electric strip backups
<br />meeting the criteria of section 608,1 ,ABC,3,2,l ,2, No electric resistance space heat is allowed for these packages,
<br />Electric Resistsnce Hot Water Option: For packages designated 'Nol Allowed", an electric resistance hot water system may be installed only in conjunction with one of the 'Other Hot Water System Options', See below,
<br />Other Hot Water System Options: Any dedicated heat pump, heat recovery unit, or solar hot water system may be installed, Solar systems must have an EF of 1,5 or higher, Electric resistance systems having an EF of ,88
<br />or greater, or natural gas systems with EF ,54 or greater may be used in conjunction with these systems,
