HOME OWNER EXEMPTION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The State of Massachusetts allows the homeowner the right under 780CMR 108.3.4 to
act as his/her construction supervisor. The state defines "Homeowner" as, " Person(s)
who owns a parcel on which he/she resides or intends to be, a one or two family
dwelling, attached or detached structures accessory to such use and/or farm structures. A
person who constructs more than one home in a two -year period shall not be considered a
home owner."
The building department for the City of Northampton wants person(s) who seek to use
the home owner exemption, to act as their own construction supervisor, to be aware that
by doing so you become responsible for compliance with state building codes and
regulations. The inspection process requires that the building department be called to
inspect work at various stages, which include foundation /footings (before backfill),
sonotube holes (before pour), a rough building inspection (before work is
concealed), insulation inspection (if required) and a final building inspection. The
building department requires these inspections before the work is concealed, failure to
secure these inspections can result in failure to obtain a certificate of occupancy
until the work can be inspected.
If the homeowner hires other trades to perform work (electrical, plumbing & gas) the
homeowner will be responsible to make sure that the trades hired secure their proper
iermits in conjunction to the building permit issued, and that they get their required
inspections. Failure of the individual trades to secure the permits and inspections as
required can DELAY the project until such time as the proper permits and inspections are
made
I, understand the above.
(Home owner /resident's signature requesting exemption)
I will call to schedule all required building inspections necessary for the building permit
issued to me.

Li Insulation is installed in substantial contact with the surface being insulated and in a manner that achieves the rated R- value.
Li Materials and equipment are identified so that compliance can be determined.
❑ Manufacturer manuals for all installed heating and cooling equipment and service water heating equipment have been provided.
• Insulation R- values and glazing U- factors are clearly marked on the building plans or specifications.
Duct Insulation:
• Supply ducts in attics are insulated to a minimum of R -8. All other ducts in unconditioned spaces or outside the building envelope are
insulated to at least R -6.
Duct Construction and Testing:
❑ Building framing cavities are not used as supply ducts.
❑ All joints and seams of air ducts, air handlers, filter boxes, and building cavities used as return ducts are substantially airtight by means
of tapes, mastics, liquid sealants, gasketing or other approved closure systems. Tapes, mastics, and fasteners are rated UL 181A or
UL 181B and are labeled according to the duct construction. Metal duct connections with equipment and /or fittings are mechanically
fastened. Crimp joints for round metal ducts have a contact lap of at least 1 1/2 inches and are fastened with a minimum of three
equally spaced sheet -metal screws.
Exceptions:
Joint and seams covered with spray polyurethane foam.
Where a partially inaccessible duct connection exists, mechanical fasteners can be equally spaced on the exposed portion of the
joint so as to prevent a hinge effect.
Continuously welded and locking -type longitudinal joints and seams on ducts operating at less than 2 in. w.g. (500 Pa).
❑ Duct tightness test has been performed and meets one of the following test criteria:
(1) Postconstruction leakage to outdoors test: Less than or equal to 8 cfm per 100 ft2 of conditioned floor area.
(2) Postconstruction total leakage test (including air handler enclosure): Less than or equal to 12 cfm per 100 ft2 pressure differential of
0.1 inches w.g.
(3) Rough -in total leakage test with air handler installed: Less than or equal to 6 cfm per 100 ft2 of conditioned floor area when tested at
a pressure differential of 0.1 inches w.g.
(4) Rough -in total leakage test without air handler installed: Less than or equal to 4 cfm per 100 ft2 of conditioned floor area.
Heating and Cooling Equipment Sizing:
Li Additional requirements for equipment sizing are included by an inspection for compliance with the International Residential Code.
❑ For systems serving multiple dwelling units documentation has been submitted demonstrating compliance with 2009 IECC Commercial
Building Mechanical and /or Service Water Heating (Sections 503 and 504).

Data filename: C: \Current Data \PFRA \PROJECTS \1007BAB \DD \ResCHECK 02.rck Page 3 of 4
❑ Circulating service hot water pipes are insulated to R -2.
LI Circulating service hot water systems include an automatic or accessible manual switch to turn off the circulating pump when the
system is not in use.
Heating and Cooling Piping Insulation:
• HVAC piping conveying fluids above 105 degrees F or chilled fluids below 55 degrees F are insulated to R - 3.
Swimming Pools:
❑ Heated swimming pools have an on /off heater switch.
❑ Pool heaters operating on natural gas or LPG have an electronic pilot light.
• Timer switches on pool heaters and pumps are present.
Exceptions:
Where public health standards require continuous pump operation.
Where pumps operate within solar- and /or waste - heat - recovery systems.
• Heated swimming pools have a cover on or at the water surface. For pools heated over 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) the cover has a
minimum insulation value of R -12.
Exceptions:
Covers are not required when 60% of the heating energy is from site- recovered energy or solar energy source.
Lighting Requirements:
• A minimum of 50 percent of the lamps in permanently installed lighting fixtures can be categorized as one of the following:
•
(a) Compact fluorescent
(b) T -8 or smaller diameter linear fluorescent
(c) 40 lumens per watt for lamp wattage <= 15
(d) 50 lumens per watt for lamp wattage > 15 and <= 40
(e) 60 lumens per watt for lamp wattage > 40
Other Requirements:
• Snow- and ice - melting systems with energy supplied from the service to a building shall include automatic controls capable of shutting
off the system when a) the pavement temperature is above 50 degrees F, b) no precipitation is falling, and c) the outdoor temperature is
above 40 degrees F (a manual shutoff control is also permitted to satisfy requirement 'c').
Certificate:
Li A permanent certificate is provided on or in the electrical distribution panel listing the predominant insulation R- values; window
U- factors; type and efficiency of space- conditioning and water heating equipment. The certificate does not cover or obstruct the visibility
of the circuit directory label, service disconnect label or other required labels.
