cirr OF EMMETT NZaB/NG 01YIS/ON 3200 CEDAR 5T. ENERETT, WA 5820/ (205) 250-68/0 The Chapter 5 Approach This compliance method allows any combination of building envelope components if their collective heatloss (R and U-values) doesn't exceed a maxis -um WSEC budget. The Chapter 5 approach is a good choice for additions that don't conform to any of the r Tapter 6 pathways. This is true because Chapter 5 allows Component Performance calculations to include heat loss improvements in the existing home. The Chapter 6, Presciptive Approach would normally be the first choice for new dwellings since it provides a variety of compliance options, is easier to use, and is no more stringent than Chapter 5. Component Performance calculations may also be performed by computer using programs such as WATT -SUN 5.1. Instructions: Pages 1, 2, 3 The first two pages provide instructions and forms for performing the Component Performance calculations. The third page sizes the heating system. Pages 4 to 8 In the shaded areas, make checks in the circles next to the requirements of your intended design. Disregard components or equipment that don't apply to your project. Your permit will be processed more efficiently if you provide all the requested information. Department staff can help you with general questions about this form. This form is intended to educate and provide enforcement consistancy between inspectors and building jurisdictions. Instead of searching through the WSEC, this form will help organize and condense the requirements that apply to your project. Requirements are grouped by foundation, franiing, `insu.'ation, and final inspection phases. Responsibility for information: It is ultimately your responsibility to provide detailed information about heating systems, glazing, insulation, and other building specifications. Be sure to get prior approval from the Department if you make changes that deviate from the completed form. For more code detail, refer to the Washington State Energy Code, 1991 Edition. Compliance responsibiilly: This form will ultimately be used for all WSEC field inspections. When it is returned with your permit, note all boxes that have been checked under the "COMPLIANCE REQUIRED" column. These boxes denote which requirements the inspector will check at each inspection phase. He will inspect and approve each of these checked items by placing a second check in the "INSPECTION APPROVED"column.
