C406.4 – Enhanced lighting controls C406.7 – High-efficiency service water heating
Option 3 – Total Building Performance: building energy cost < 85% of standard reference design.
C402.5 – Air Leakage – thermal envelope
(Mandatory)
C405.3 – Exit Signs (Mandatory)
C403.2 – Provisions applicable to all Mechanical
Systems (Mandatory)
C405.4 – Interior Lighting and Power
Requirements (Prescriptive)
C404 – Service Water Heating (Mandatory) C405.6 – Electrical Energy Consumption
(Mandatory)
C405.2 – Lighting Controls (Mandatory) C407 – Total Building Performance
NOTE: Mechanical cooling systems over 480,000 Btuh and service water‐heating/space‐heating systems over 600,000 Btuh (combined capacity);
and, controls for automatic lighting systems require certain information on construction documents and system commissioning and reports in
accordance with section C408
I certify that I have reviewed the construction documents including, but not necessarily limited to, insulation materials and R-values; fenestration U-factors
and SHGC values; area-weighted average U-factor and SHGC calculations; mechanical system design criteria; mechanical and service water heating system
and equipment types, sizes and efficiencies; equipment and systems controls; duct sealing, duct and piping insulation and location; and air sealing details;
and that the project as designed satisfies the minimum requirements for the compliance approach selected above.
