This chapter of the Nonresidential Compliance Manual addresses covered processes for the 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Standards) (§120.6 and § 140.9).

Compliance documentation includes the Certificate of Compliance, reports and other information that are submitted to the enforcement agency with an application for a building permit. Compliance documentation also includes documentation completed by the installing contractor, engineer/architect of record, or owner’s agent to verify that certain systems and equipment have been correctly installed and commissioned.
To assist in submitting proper compliance documentation, a checklist is available (Process Compliance Forms & Worksheets - Page 1 of NRCC-PRC-01-E). This checklist helps enforcing agency to look for specific compliance documentation that is required for the covered processes by the 2016 Energy Standards.
Under the prescriptive compliance approach, the project designer is responsible for completing the Process Compliance Forms & Worksheets. The project designer is required to check all applicable boxes in Form NRCC-PRC-01-E on page 1 and furnishes all associated forms relevant to the checked features. This checklist is required on plans for all submittals with covered processes. For the performance compliance approach this form will automatically be completed by the approved computer compliance program. The following are the compliance forms:
