34-006 (6) [ ] Materials and equipment must be identified so that compliance can be determined.
[ ] Manufacturer manuals for all installed heating and cooling equipment and service water heating
equipment must be provided.
[ ] I Insulation R-values and glazing U-values must be clearly marked on the building plans or specifications.
I
Duct Insulation:
[ ] I Ducts in unconditioned spaces must be insulated to R-5.
Ducts outside the building must be insulated to R-6.5.
Duct Construction:
[ ] I All joints,seams,and connections must be securely fastened with welds,gaskets,mastics
(adhesives),mastic-plus--embedded-fabric,or tapes. Duct tape is not permitted. Exception:
Continuously welded and locking-type longitudinal joints and seams on ducts operating at
less than 2 in.w.g.(500 Pa).
[ ] I Ducts shall be supported every 10 feet or in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
[ ] I Cooling ducts with exterior insulation must be covered with a vapor retarder.
[ ] I Air filters are required in the return air system.
[ ] The HVAC system must provide a means for balancing air and water systems.
I
Temperature Controls:
[ ) I Thermostats are required for each separate HVAC system. A manual or automatic means to
partially restrict or shut off the heating and/or cooling input to each zone or floor shall be provided.
I
Service Water Heating:
[ ] I Water heaters with vertical pipe risers must have a heat trap on both the inlet and outlet unless the
water heater has an integral heat trap or is part of a circulating system.
[ ] Insulate circulating hot water pipes to the levels in Table 1.
Swimming Pools:
[ ] All heated swimming pools must have an on/off heater switch and require a cover unless over 20%
( of the heating energy is from non-depletable sources. Pool pumps require a time clock.
I
Heating and Cooling Piping Insulation:
[ ] I HVAC piping conveying fluids above 105°F or chilled fluids below 55°F must be insulated to the
I levels in Table 2.
