QualificaHon pages: There are 6 different QuaL.ication pages, based upon fuel type (electric resistance or other), compliance approach (Prescriptive or Chapter 5 Calculations) and construction type (logs or other). The PreseripHve Options (Chapter 6) approach includes a Table of options, one of which you will selcti:t for your particular design. Choose a compliance option that best sui's the economics and design of your project. The Chapter 5 Qualification Form is a second compliano. approrch and allows a builder more flexibility for ' alternative methods of construction and more window area. The Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 Window; Skpligh[ and Door Schedules p;ovide outlines to assist you through the specific calculatiors and requirements for doors and glass. 'The Checklish Requirements aze grouped under FoundaHon, Framing, InsulaHon, and Final Phases. Each phase lets you know what, and when requirements will be checked by the inspector. You provide information and checic the circles that apply to your specific project. Because the form is inten3ed to cover most design variations, many of the listed requirements won t apply to a given project.

Responsibility for informaHon: Although designated Depazhn�rt staff inembers will help you with general questions about completing this form, it is ultimately your responsibility to provide detailed information about heating systems, glazing, insulation and other requested building specifications.

Disregard items that don't add:ess your particular bi:ilding or equipment. Design Changes: Be sure to get prior approval from the Depaztment if you wish to make changes in your project during construction. How the forms will be used: These forms will ultimately be used for all WSEC field inspections. When they are retumed with your permit, relevant boxes under the "COMPLIANCE REQUIItED" column will have been checked by the Building Department.

The inspector will inspect your dwelling against these checked items, and when deemed acceptable, place a second check in the "INSPECTION APPROVED" column.
