TABLE 406.3(continued) <br /> ENERGY CREDITS <br /> CREDIT(S) <br /> OPTION DESCRIPTION --------- —r <br /> All Other r Group R-2 <br /> 4.HIGH EFFICIENCY HVAC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM OPTIONS <br /> 4.1 j All supply and return ducts located in an unconditioned attic shall be 0.5 0.5 <br /> deeply buried in ceiling insulation in accordance with Section R403.3.7. <br /> For mechanical equipment located outside the conditioned space,a <br /> maximum of 10 linear feet of return duct and 5 linear feet of supply duct <br /> connections to the equipment may be outside the deeply buried insulation. <br /> All metallic ducts located outside the conditioned space must have both <br /> transverse and longitudinal joints sealed with mastic. If flex ducts are used, <br /> they cannot contain splices. <br /> Duct leakage shall be limited to 3 cfm per 100 square feet of conditioned <br /> floor area. <br /> Air handler(s)shall be located within the conditioned space. <br /> 4.2 i HVAC equipment and associated duct system(s)installation shall comply 1 0 N/A i <br /> with the requirements of Section R403.3.7. <br /> Locating system components in conditioned crawl spaces is not permitted <br /> under this option. <br /> Electric resistance heat and ductless heat pumps are not permitted under <br /> this option. <br /> Direct combustion heating equipment with AFUE less than 80%is not <br /> permitted under this option. <br /> To qualify to claim this credit,the building permit drawings shall specify the <br /> option being selected and shall specify the heating equipment type and <br /> shall show the location of the heating and cooling equipment and all the <br /> ductwork. <br /> 5.EFFICIENT WATER HEATING OPTIONS 1 <br /> Only one option from Items 5.2 through 5.6 may be selected in this category.Item 5.1 may be combined with any <br /> option. <br /> 5.1 A drain water heat recovery unit(s)shall be installed,which captures waste 0.5 0.5 <br /> water heat from all and only the showers,and has a minimum efficiency of <br /> 40%if installed for equal flow or a minimum efficiency of 54%if installed <br /> for unequal flow.Such units shall be rated in accordance with CSA B55.1 <br /> or IAPMO IGC 346-2017 and be so labeled. <br /> To qualify to claim this credit,the building permit drawings shall include a <br /> plumbing diagram that specifies the drain water heat recovery units and <br /> the plumbing layout needed to install it.Labels or other documentation <br /> shall be provided that demonstrates that the unit complies with the <br /> standard. <br /> i 5.2 ,`Water heating system shall include one of the following: /0 0.5 <br /> /, Energy Star rated gas or propane water heater with a minimum UEF of <br /> 0.80. <br /> To qualify to claim this credit,the building permit drawings shall specify the <br /> option being selected and shall specify the water heater equipment type <br /> and the minimum equipment efficiency. <br /> • <br /> RE-46 2018 Washington State Energy Code <br />
