For all dual-glazed fenestration products, adjust the listed U-factors as follows: Add 0.05 for products with dividers between panes if spacer is less than 7/16 inch wide. Add 0.05 to any product with true divided lite (dividers through the panes). Translucent or transparent panels shall use glass block values when not rated by NFRC 100. Visible Transmittance (VT) shall be calculated by using Reference Nonresidential Appendix NA6. Windows with window film applied that is not rated by NFRC 100 shall use the default values from this table. |

All Buildings |
System Shall meet Section 150.1(c)8 |
Footnote requirements to TABLE 150.1-A.
1. The U-factors/R-values shown for ceiling, wall and raised floor insulation are for wood-frame construction with insulation installed between the framing members. For alternative construction assemblies, see Section 150.1(c)1A, B and C.
2. U-factors can be met by cavity insulation alone or with continuous insulation alone, or with both cavity and continuous insulation that results in a U-factor equal to or less than the U-factor shown. “R-15+4” means R-15 cavity insulation plus R-4 continuous insulation. Any combination of cavity insulation and/or continuous insulation that results in a U-factor equal to or less than 0.065 is allowed, such as R-13+5.
3
Mass wall has a thermal heat capacity greater than or equal to
7.0 Btu/h-ft2. Below grade “interior” denotes insulation
installed on the inside surface of the wall. Below grade “exterior”
denotes insulation installed on the outside surface of the wall.
4. The installed fenestration products shall meet the requirements of Section 150.1(c)3.
5. The installed fenestration products shall meet the requirements of Section 150.1(c)4.
6. HSPF means "heating seasonal performance factor."
7. When whole house fans are required (REQ), only those whole house fans that are listed in the Appliance Efficiency Directory may be installed. Compliance requires installation of one or more WHFs whose total airflow CFM is capable of meeting or exceeding a minimum 2 cfm/square foot of conditioned floor area per Section 150.1(c)12.
8. A supplemental heating unit may be installed in a space served directly or indirectly by a primary heating system, provided that the unit thermal capacity does not exceed 2 kilowatts or 7,000 Btu/hr and is controlled by a time-limiting device not exceeding 30 minutes.

¹ Standby loss is based on a 70° F temperature difference between stored water and ambient requirements. In the standby loss equations, Vr is the rated volume in gallons, Vm is the measured volume in gallons, and Q is the nameplate input rate in Btu/hr. ² Water heaters and hot water supply boilers having more than 140 gallons of storage capacity are not required to meet the standby loss requirement if the tank surface is thermally insulated to R-12.5, if a standing pilot light is not installed, and for gas- or oil-fired storage water heaters, there is a flue damper or fan-assisted combustion. |
