STRUCTURAL COMMENTS:

This portion of the plans has been reviewed and accepted.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY COMMENTS:

1. Energy Conservation Information. Please provide all of the additional information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the energy conservation requirements of Chapter 11 of the 2006 IRC and/or the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). This information is to include insulation R-values, glazing and door U-factors, solar heat gain coefficients (SHGC) for all glazing and notes regarding air infiltration requirements, duct insulation, etc.

Utilization of the RES-check software available from the U.S. Dept. of Energy on line at http://www.energycodes.gov/rescheck/ is also an option. The current version satisfies the requirements of the 2006 IRC and IECC. Combining the REScheck compliance certificate with the accompanying inspection checklist makes it convenient for the building inspector to verify compliance on site.

Reference IRC Section R106.1.1 and Chapter 11, Section N1102 and Tables N1102.1 and N1102.1.2.

2. Sheet 4, Glazing U-Factors. The maximum allowable glazing U-factor is 0.75 (lower is better). Please revise the plans to list the glazing U-factor for all new glazing that is to be installed. Reference IRC Sections N1102.1, N1102.3 and Table N1102.1.

3. Sheet 4, Air Leakage and Infiltration. Please add a note stating that all joints, seams, penetrations and other sources of air leakage and infiltration through the building thermal envelope are to be caulked, gasketed, wrapped or otherwise sealed to limit uncontrolled air movement. See IRC Section N1102.4 for details.

4. Sheet 4, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient. Please specify on the plans that all new windows are to bear a National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) sticker and that the maximum allowable Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is 0.40 (lower is better). Reference IRC Section N1102.2.

5. Sheet 4, Duct Insulation. Please add a note and/or detail(s) to confirm that new supply and return ducts are to be insulated with insulation having a minimum value of R-8, with ducts in floor trusses insulated to a minimum of R-6, except that ducts or portions of ducts located completed inside the building envelope are not required to meet these requirements. Reference IRC Section N1103.2.1.

MECHANICAL, PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL COMMENTS:

1. Sheet 4, Damp Or Wet Locations. Please revise the electrical plan to confirm that all fixtures, fittings, boxes and receptacles located in damp or wet locations, i.e., outdoor receptacle outlets, light fixtures in tubs or showers or at outdoor patios, etc.; are to be listed to be suitable for their locations. The wall-mounted exterior light fixtures are required to be listed and labeled as suitable for their locations. Reference IRC Section E3805.11, E3902.8 and E3903.8.

OUTDOOR LIGHTING CODE COMMENTS:

1. Sheet 4, Outdoor Lighting Summary. Please provide an outdoor lighting summary for the entire property as required by Section 102.4 of the 2006 City of Tucson/Pima County Outdoor Lighting Code. Include the lighting zone, total lumens permitted and proposed, total unshielded lumens permitted and proposed, total full cutoff lumens permitted and proposed, and the type and location for each lighting fixture.
