Our analysis was based on the framing information and configurations provided by NRG Solar. It is our understanding that the structural components of the existing roof framing are in fair condition in roof—2 and in good condition in roof-3 Any framing member showing signs of rotting/splitting/deflection and/or inadequately connected to be re acre rep ace in kin ,It is further understood that all existing connections between t e Various rooiaming members,including ceiling joists and rafters are adequate to resist the current loading conditions and behave in the manner that a typical rafter and ceiling tie system is intended to behave prior to installation of the solar panels. Results Roof-2 &Roof-3 —adequate to support the proposed solar panels. • Prior to panel installation, it must be verified that all rafters have sufficient mechanical anchorage to the ridge. There must be a minimum of(4) 12D toe nails at each connection. Structural Data and Code Information Our analysis was performed in accordance with the requirements of the 780 CMR 51.00: Massachusetts Residential Code which has adopted the 2009 International Residential Code with Massachusetts amendments.Per Table R301.2 (1),the ground snow load to be used for each town is in accordance with Table R301.2 (5). Similarly,the wind speed for each town is in accordance with Table R301.2(4). The roof framing was analyzed in accordance with Section R104.11 of the 2009 International Residential Code which allows for alternate approved design such as using the ASCE 7 code for determining actual snow loads on roofs (e.g. deriving flat or sloped roof snow loads from the specified ground snow load referenced in Table R301.2(5)).Wood members were analyzed and designed in accordance with the NDS 2005. MPP Engineers,LLC 1 34 South Main Street, Suite D Allentown,NJ 08501 609-489-5511 (office) I www.mppeligincers.com 1 609-489-5916(fax) Frenier Residence Solar Installation 61 Chapel Street Northampton MA 01060 The roof areas for the solar panels of this residence is framed in a gable configuration with conventional 2x roof rafters. The existing roof structure is in goodcondition and appears to have two layers of asphalt shingles on roof-2 and one layer of asphalt shingles on roof-3. The pertinent data is listed below: Roof-2 (6 Panels Total): Rafters: TRUE 2"x 4.5"(#2 Spruce-Pine Fir Assumed) Spacing: 21" O.C. Roof Slope: 35 Degrees Horizontal Projected Length of Rafter (Horizontal Projection): 7.33 feet Ceiling Joists: Present Collar Ties: NOT Present Roof Sheathing: Wood Boards and plywood sheathing Condition of Framing: Fair Roof Covering: Asphalt Shingles Ground Snow Load,Pg: 40 PSF from Table R301.2 (5)of Massachusetts Residential Code Importance Factor,I: 1.0 Exposure Factor, Ce: 1.0 (Conservatively taken as Partially Exposed) Thermal Factor, Ct: 1.1 with Panels (Cold Roof) 1.0 existing condition(Warm Roof) Design Snow Loads On sloped roof: 24.50 PSF(Existing—Unobstructed Warm Roof) 17.97 PSF(New—Slippery Surface on Cold Roof) Roof-3 (11 Panels Total): Rafters: 2 x 6 (#2 Spruce-Pine Fir Assumed) Spacing: 16"O.C. Roof Slope: 37 Degrees Horizontal Projected Length of Rafter (Horizontal Projection): 7.33 feet Ceiling Joists: Present Collar Ties: NOT Present Roof Sheathing: Wood Boards and plywood sheathing Condition of Framing: Fair Roof Covering: Asphalt Shingles Ground Snow Load,Pg: 40 PSF from Table R301.2(5)of Massachusetts Residential Code Importance Factor,I: 1.0 Exposure Factor,Ce: 1.0(Conservatively taken as Partially Exposed) Thermal Factor,Ct: 1.1 with Panels(Cold Roof) 1.0 existing condition(Warm Roof) Design Snow Loads On sloped roof: 23.10 PSF(Existing—Unobstructed Warm Roof) 16.94 PSF(New—Slippery Surface on Cold Roof) Frenier Residence Solar Installation 61 Chapel Street Northampton MA 01060 Wind Speed: 90 MPH from Table R301.2 (4)of Massachusetts Residential Code Exposure B Analysis Results: General Considerations ➢ The proposed solar panels consist of solar panels which impose a total weight of approximately 2.5 to 3 pounds per square foot(PSF)on the roof surface. From a practical standpoint,the International Residential Code allows up to 2 roof coverings on a residential dwelling. Each layer of roofing imposes a net load of about 2.5 to,3.0 PSF on the roof. From this perspective, since the existing roof has only a single layer of shingles, a second layer is allowed to be added by the code without analysis. This 2'layer of shingles essentially weighs the same as the proposed solar panels. ➢ Materials such as metal roofs or solar panels are considered slippery surfaces. Since the solar panels are mounted slightly above the roof line,it would be conservative to consider a thermal factor Ct of 1.1,treating the panel surface as a cold roof rather than a warm roof. Based on the roof slope and considering it as a slippery surface,the snow load is reduced by 27% compared with the snow loading directly on the existing shingled roof surface. This reduction equates to 6.53 PSF on roof-2 and 6.16 PSF on roof-3 which essentially offsets the weight of the solar panels. Gravity Loading: Roof-2&Roof-3 —adequate to support the proposed solar panels. • Prior to panel installation, it must be verified that all rafters have sufficient mechanical anchorage to the ridge. There must be a minimum of(4) 12D toe nails at each connection. It is our understanding that the panels will be installed using Unirac rail with L-feet(or equal) at approximately 48 inches on center(e.g. every two to three rafters). The leveling feet will be fastened directly into the existing joists with 5/16"diameter lag screws with a minimum embedment of 2.5". In addition,it is important that the leveling feet support locations be staggered between adjacent panels so that no single rafter supports more load than under the existing conditions. Wind Loading: Based on our calculations, the net wind loads imposed on the roof framing with an attachment spacing as indicated above will be less than the current loading on the roof framing. In addition,provided that the leveling feet are attached to the roof framing members in a typical staggered fashion,the overall wind loading imposed on the structure and the individual framing members will not be impacted to any great extent.
