d) The continuous air barrier shall be designed to resist positive and negative pressures from wind, stack effect, and mechanical ventilation.ĥ.4.3.1.2 Air Barrier Installation The following areas of the continuous air barrier in the building envelope shell shall be wrapped, sealed, caulked, gasketed, or taped in an approved manner to minimize air leakage: a) Joints around fenestration and door frames (both manufactured and sitebuilt) b) Junctions between walls and floors, between walls and building corners, between walls and roofs or ceilings. c) The continuous air barrier shall extend over all s surfaces of the building envelope (at the lowest floor, exterior walls, and ceiling or roof). Exceptions to 5.4.3.1: a) Semi-heated spaces in climate zones 5 through 6 b) Single wythe concrete masonry buildings in climate zone 5B 5.4.3.1.1 Air Barrier Design The air barrier shall be designed and noted in the following manner: a) All air barrier components of each building envelope assembly shall be clearly identified or otherwise noted on construction documents(a) b) The joints, interconnections, and penetrations of the air barrier components including lighting fixtures shall be detailed or otherwise noted.
Continuous Air Barrier The entire building envelope shall be designed and constructed with a continuous air barrier.
Air Barrier Materials, Assemblies and Systems (SB-10 Division 3) (1) The air barrier materials, assemblies and systems that are in conformance with Part 5 of Division B of the Building Code shall be deemed to be in compliance with Sentence 5.4.3.1.3 and Sentence 5.4.3.2. Product samples used for determining fenestration performance shall be production line units or representative of units purchased by the consumer or contractor. Procedures for determining fenestration and door performance are described in 5.8.2. Where insulation is required in 5.5 or 5.6, it shall comply with the requirements found in 5.8.1.1 to 5.8.1.9. IAP HPNC Exhibit E – ASHRAE 90.1-2010 Mandatory Provisions Checklist – June 23, 2015īUILDING ENVELOPE (as modified by SB-10 Division 3, revised June 27, 2011) Exceptions (SB-10 Division 3) Applicability of ASHRAE 90.1īuilding Type is not exempted under Section 2.2 Building Type and spaces definition conforms to defined terms in Section 3. Application of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1 (SB-10, Division 3) Metīuilding Type is not exempted under 1.2.1.1. SCOPE (as modified by SB-10 Division 3, revised June 27, 2011) 1.2.1. If a mandatory provision is not applicable, check "NOT MET" and provide the reason why in the note section. Where an exemption has been granted by HPNC, check "NOT MET" and indicate in the “Notes” section where in the submission the exemption documentation can be found. If a mandatory provision is "NOT MET", provide the reason why in the “Notes” section.
In the case of a conflict between this document, Supplementary Standard SB-10, or ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1, the full text of the applicable document governs.
It is recommended that simulators request and retain in their files, written records (typically emails or copies of checklist pages with professional's sign off etc.) that indicate the appropriate professional has verified that the requirement is "MET".
This form must be completed by the simulator and attached to the Compliance Report in the HPNC submission. Simulators are responsible only for noting the conformity on this form. It is understood that design professionals are responsible for ensuring the energy code conformity itself. Exhibit E – ASHRAE 90.1-2010 Mandatory Provisions Checklist (as modified by SB-10 Division 3, revised June 27, 2011) This form records whether all mandatory requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-2010, as modified by SB-10 (ASHRAE 90.1M), have been "met" or "not met" according to the information the simulator has received from the project's professional architect(s) and engineer(s).
