For fhis worksheet consider the tollowinq prescriptive requirements: <br />O Slab insulatlon R-10 O Below prade walls R-10 exterior or R-19 fnterior O Standard iniiltration control <br />Ii you choose to use an altemate to the above prascriptive requirements, confacc your JurisdicUon for information on comptiance for <br />ihe Companent Perfortnance Apprwch, Chapter 5. <br />6UILDING COMPONEIR COLUMN <br />The buildinp componaM column tndudes several IGstlnps tor each rype of camponent so that componeMs with different U-values <br />may be listed separatey. A detailed cross sectlon of each of the wall, ceilinp and 11oor buildin0 �Ponems shouid be provided on <br />the plans and the U-value and R-values of each element in the usemby stawn. <br />O PROPQSED uHOSSAREA: <br />Detemiine the pmss (total) area for each buildinp compo- <br />nent and record in cdumn A The pross area and the net <br />area are the same for the windaws, doors, skyliphts and <br />floors. <br />O PBOPOSEDNETAREA: <br />Dotermine the net area tor each buildinp component and <br />rocoN in column B. The net area for the walls and roof <br />equals the pross wall or rooi area minus the openinq area - <br />windows, doors, skyitphts, etc. <br />O BASE CASE AREII• <br />Determine the base case area and record in column C. The <br />base cau area for waiis is fhe total wall area minus the base <br />case window area. Record total base case wall area in <br />column C, row - walts t. The base case area for windows, <br />sBdinp plass doors and other doors that are substantialty <br />O�ss must add up to 15% of the condidoned floor area. <br />The skylipht area is not Induded (n Me base pse scererio. <br />CondidonedFloorAreax.l5=_ Recordthenumber <br />from above fn column C, row - windows 1. The base case <br />areas tor the ceiliiprs, floors and non-plass doors is the <br />same u the proposed net area for those buildinp compo- <br />n�ts. The Oase pse areas aro the areas used when <br />determinfnp the requirod UA <br />O REOUIBED-CODE-U-YALUES: <br />The U-values Iisted are the minimum required U-values <br />shoxm in Table 5-1 NWEC for Zone I, Low-rise R-3 and R-1. <br />See 7able 5-2 for the requ(red U-values tor Zone II. <br />0 P80POSED MEASUNETO BEINSTALLED: <br />The proposed measure is the R-value of the insuiatlon in the <br />buiWinp componeM (walls, ceilinps, floors) or the tested U- <br />value of the building component (windows, doars, sky- <br />liqhts, etc.). <br />O PROPOSED U-VALUE <br />Determfne the total U-value of each buildinq component <br />assembty and record in column F. The default U-values for <br />different types of materials pn be tound in the Appendix C <br />DefauR U-values fmm the Sfate Enerpy Office.l-800-962- <br />9731 The U-value is the inverse of the R-value. <br />� REpUiHED UA: <br />Muldpy the base case areas in column C by the required U- <br />values in column D for each �uildirq component and record <br />in column G. <br />0 PHOPOSED UA: <br />Muldply the net areas in column B by the proposed U- <br />values (n column F for each buildinp componem and record <br />in column H. <br />O UA DIFFERENCE <br />Add alt of the buiidinp componeM �21ues in the requtred UA <br />cdumn G and record at the boGom of Ihe column in the <br />box tor tohls. Add ali of the buildinp component vaiues in <br />the proposed UA column H and record at the botrom oi the <br />cdumn in the box for totals. Subtract fhe rotal proposed UA <br />fn column H trom fhe toW requtred UA In column G and <br />record in the box for totals In column I. <br />it the answer is a positive number then the proposed areas <br />and U-values compy with the Chapter 5 approach to the <br />NWEC. If the total is a nepative number then the proposed <br />areas and U-values do not compty with the Chapter 5 <br />approach to the NWEC. <br />If tha proposed areas and U-ralues do not comply. Review <br />the numbers in the UA columns G and H. You must <br />decrease the U-value (increase the fnsulatlon) or area for <br />one or moro of the buiidfnp companents to make the <br />project compiyl Once you have charped either the U-value <br />or proposed area tor the buildinp component(s). Flnd the <br />new proposed UA and add up the column apain. If the total <br />of the UA ditterence is positive then the project complies <br />with the code. Ii the numDer is neqative try another <br />buildinp component or further decrease the U-value until <br />the total tor the UA difierence (s positive. <br />
