Exterior poors: <br /> The exterior door section is for swinging doors only.Enter sliding doors in the vertical glazing section of the worksheet. <br /> If a swinging door includes glazing,it may be entered in the vertical glazing schedule or in the exterior door schedule. <br /> Obtain NFRC tested U-factors from the door manufacturer or use U-factors from WSEC Tables. <br /> Table 10-6A Default U-Factors for Vertical Glazing(use for doors with greater than 50�glazing.J <br /> Table 10-6C Default U-factors for poors(limited to doors with less than 50%glazing.f <br /> Area of windows,doors and skylights are measured using the rough opening area. <br /> Glazing area in exterior doors is added to the total glazing area of the project as follows: <br /> If greater than 50%,100%of the area is entered in the door glazing area. <br /> If less than or equal to 50%,only the glazed area will be entered in the door glazing area. <br /> Exempt Door:One door,24 feet or less is not included in the U-factor of glazing area calculations.You must calculate the door area to assure it is 24 <br /> square feet or less.This also enters the door heat loss into the heating system size calculation. <br /> Vertical and Horizontal Glazing: <br /> Obtain NFRC tested U-factors from the glazing supplier.These will give the most accurate and likely the most favorable results. If you can't obtain <br /> this data,the tables in Chapter 10 of the WSEC must be used. <br /> For default U factors for vertical glazing,refer to table 10-6A <br /> If window manufacturer can legitimately be claimed as a"small business"(as defined in Chapter 2 of the WSEC),you may use table 10-68 for default <br /> U factors. Note:the term"small business"refers to the glazing manufacturer,not the builder or building owner. <br /> For default U factors for overhead glazing,refer to table 10-6E <br /> If doors are being entered into the vertical glazing tab/e,refer to table 10-6C and 10-6D. <br /> Garden Window Exception Schedule <br /> The WSEC allows double glazed,unrated garden windows with a wood or vinyl frame to be exempt from the U-factor calculation under the following <br /> rules. <br /> The total area of this exemption is limited to 1 percent of the conditioned floor area up to a maximum <br /> The areo of the glazing must be mu/tiplied by 3 and added to the total glazing area for the project. <br /> Completing the Heating System Size Worksheet <br /> This worksheet is used to calculate the design heat load of the structure.It also calculates the maximum heating system size required by code.This <br /> worksheet does not perform required cooling load calculations.Use Manual J or equivalent for cooling system size calculations. <br /> Go to the Outdoor Design Temperature Worksheet Tab.Locate the outdoor design temperature for a location near the project site.You need to <br /> enter the desi�n temperature on this worksheet. <br /> Calculate and enter the volume of the interior space in the building(floor area x ceiling height). <br /> Measure the dimensions of each exterior building assembly,wall,attic floor etc.Enter the area next to the R-value description that matches the <br /> construction.If a construction method is selected that is not represented here,select values from Chapter 10 of the WSEC and enter it in one of the <br /> blank spaces at the end of each components section. <br /> Enter the correction factor for duct location.If the ducts are indoors,enter 1.If the ducts are in the crawl space,attic or garage,enter 1.15. <br /> ` ` �q� p <br /> �� <br /> ` � <br />
