1997 WSEC Residential Compliance' Form Instructions: Other Fuels About these forms: The main purpose of these forms is to provide enforcement consistency between inspectors and buflding jurisdictions. Instead of spending time searching through the WSEC and VIAQ Code, these forests will help organize and condense requirements that apply to your project. They are also excellent tools for learning the residential WSEC requirements. Qualification pages: There are 6 different Qualification pages, based upon fuel type (electric resistance or other), compliance approach (Prescriptive or Chapter 5 Calculations) and construction type (logs or other). The Prescriptive Options (Chapter 6) approach includes a Table of options, one of which you will select for your particular design. Choose a compliance option that best suits the economics and design of your project. The Chapter 5 Qualification Form is a second compliance approach and allows a builder more flexibility for alternative methods of construction and more window area. The Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 Window, Skylight and Door Schedules provide outlines to assist you through the specific calculations and requirements for doors and glass. The ( hecklist: Requirements are grouped under Foundation, Framing, Insulation, and Final Phases. Each phase lets you know what, and when requirements will be checked by the inspector. You provide informatioi and check the circles that apply to your specific project. Because the form is intended to cover most design variations, many of the listed requirements wont apply to a given project Do not place marks in the two left side shaded columns labeled "COMPLIANCE REQUIRED" and "INSPECTION APPROVED" or in the boxes located in shaded areas (These are for Department use). Responsibility for information: Although designated Department staff members 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. Since these forms will be evaluated for completeness and accuracy, you can avoid unnecessary perndt delays by carefully providing all required information. Disregard items that don't address your particular building or equipment Design Changes: Be sure to get prior approval from the Department 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 returned with your permit, relevant boxes under the "COMPLIANCE REQUIRED" column will have been checked by the Building Department. This denotes which WSEC requirements apply to your project. The inspector will inspect your dwelling against these checked items, and when deemed acceptable, place a second check in the "INSPECTION APPROVED" column.
