711 and 607 Energy Conservation:
Level 1 and 2 alterations are permitted without requiring the entire building to
comply with the International Energy Conservation Code. Alterations (new
construction) shall comply with the International Energy Conservation Code.
A building that undergoes Level 2 alterations is required to meet a certain level of
energy compliance.
Where there are reconfigurations of the space or new doors or windows, any such
new element is required to meet the International Energy Conservation Code.
Elements within the building that are not being affected do not heed to be
evaluated and do not nee to comply with the energy provisions. Essentially the
entire building is not required to meet the energy provisions; only a degree of
possible improvement in the energy performance of the building is intended to be
achieved by making the new elements meet the IECC. In certain cases where the
reconfiguration of the space might have resulted in the creation of new spaces the
newly created space should be evaluated as a whole for compliance with the
energy provisions even though some of the element within the space might
actually not have been altered. Likewise, in a case where an existing mechanical
system is being extended to other areas or new ductwork is being installed to
reconfigure and reroute the ducts to various spaces, it is only required to have the
new elements meet the energy provisions and not the entire system.
Existing windows will be retained.
There will be no changes to the exterior. envelope.
There will be no ceilings, walls or floor cavities of the building envelope exposed or
accessible during construction.
No new insulation or air sealing will be installed in this project.
806 Accessibility
CMR 521
3.3.1 b. If the work costs $ioo,000 or more, then the work being performed is
required to comply with 521 CMR. In addition, an accessible public entrance and
an accessible toilet room shall be provided.
3.3.2 If the work performed, including the exempted work, amounts to 30% or
more of the full and fair cash value of the building, the entire building is required
to comply with 521 CMR.
This project's construction costs are less than $ioo,000
The work area is designed to be fully accessible. The existing toilet rooms are built
to accessible standards. The entry door at the level of exit discharge is assessable.
The building has an elevator to all levels.
There are 36" wide accessible routes in the new tenant space.
