Duct Insulation:
[ ] Ducts shall be insulated per Table J4.4.7.1.
Duct Construction:
[ ] All accessible joints,seams,and connections of supply and return ductwork located outside
conditioned space,including stud bays or joist cavities/spaces used to transport air,shall be sealed
using mastic and fibrous backing tape installed according to the manufacturer's installation
instructions. Mesh tape may be omitted where gaps are less than 1/8 inch. Duct tape is not permitted.
[ ] The HVAC system must provide a means for balancing air and water systems.
Temperature Controls:
[ ] 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.
Heating and Cooling Equipment Sizing:
[ J Rated output capacity of the heating/cooling system is not greater than 125%of the design load as
specified in Sections 780CMR 1310 and J4.4.
Circulating Hot Water Systems:
[ ] 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.
Heating and Cooling Piping Insulation:
[ ] HVAC piping conveying fluids above 120 T or chilled fluids below 55 T must be insulated to the
levels in Table 2.

least the bottom of the slab then horizontally for a total distance of 6.0 ft.
Air Leakage:
[ ] Joints,penetrations,and all other such openings in the building envelope that are sources of air
leakage must be sealed.
[ ] When installed in the building envelope,recessed lighting fixtures
shall meet one of the following requirements:
1. Type IC rated,manufactured with no penetrations between the inside of the recessed fixture
and ceiling cavity and sealed or gasketed to prevent air leakage into the unconditioned space.
2. Type IC rated,in accordance with Standard ASTM E 283,with no more than 2.0 cfin(0.944
L/s)air movement from the the conditioned space to the ceiling cavity. The lighting fixture
shall have been tested at 75 PA or 1.57 lbs/ft2 pressure difference and shall be labeled.
Vapor Retarder:
[ ] Required on the warm-in-winter side of all non-vented framed ceilings,walls,and floors.
Materials Identification:
[ ] 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.
[ ] Insulation R-values and glazing U-factors must be clearly marked on the building plans or specifications.
