Data filename: C:\\Program Files\\Check\\COMcheck-EZ\\25r1\\example.cck

The following list provides more detailed description of the
requirements in Section 4 of the Mechancal Compliance Certificate.

**Requirements Specific To: RT-2 & RT-3 - Pkg. gas/elec.**

1\. The specified heating equipment is covered by Federal minimum
efficiency requirements. New equipment of this type can be assumed to
meet or exceed ASHRAE 90.1 Code requirements for equipment efficiency.

2\. The specified cooling system consists of field-assembled components.
Documentation must be submitted showing the system meets ASHRAE 90.1
Code equipment efficiency requirements for a comparable package
equipment type and capacity range.

3\. An integrated air economizer is required for individual cooling
systems over 90 kBtu/h or 3,000 cfm in the selected climate. An
integrated economizer allows simultaneous operation of outdoor-air and
mechanical cooling.

**Requirements Specific To: CU-1 - Condensing unit**

1\. The specified cooling system consists of field-assembled components.
Documentation must be submitted showing the system meets ASHRAE 90.1
Code equipment efficiency requirements for a comparable package
equipment type and capacity range.

2\. An integrated air economizer is required for individual cooling
systems over 90 kBtu/h or 3,000 cfm in the selected climate. An
integrated economizer allows simultaneous operation of outdoor-air and
mechanical cooling.

**Requirements Specific To: UH-1 - Gas unit heater**

1\. The specified heating and/or cooling equipment is covered by the
ASHRAE 90.1 Code and must meet the following minimum efficiency: Unit
Heater (Gas): 78% Et @ Maximum Capacity, 74% Et @ Minimum Capacity

**Requirements Specific To: F-1 - Gas furnace**

1\. The specified heating equipment is covered by Federal minimum
efficiency requirements. New equipment of this type can be assumed to
meet or exceed ASHRAE 90.1 Code requirements for equipment efficiency.

**Generic Requirements: Must be met by all systems to which the
requirement is applicable**

1\. Design heating and cooling loads for the building must be determined
using procedures equivalent to those in Chapters 27 and 28 of the ASHRAE
Handbook of Fundamentals or an approved equivalent calculation
procedure.

2\. All equipment and systems must be sized to be no greater than needed
to meet calculated loads. A single piece of equipment providing both
heating and cooling must satisfy this provision for one function with
the capacity for the other function as small as possible, within
available equipment options.

\- Exception: The equipment and/or system capacity may be greater than
calculated loads for standby purposes. Standby equipment must be
automatically controlled to be off when the primary equipment and/or
system is operating.

\- Exception: Multiple units of the same equipment type whose combined
capacities exceed the calculated load are allowed if they are provided
with controls to sequence operation of the units as the load increases
or decreases.

3\. Each heating or cooling system serving a single zone must have its
own temperature control device.

4\. Each humidification system must have its own humidity control
device.

5\. Thermostats controlling both heating and cooling must be capable of
maintaining a 5 degree F deadband (a range of temperature where no
heating or cooling is provided).

\- Exception: Deadband capability is not required if the thermostat does
not have automatic changeover capability between heating and cooling.

6\. The system or zone control must be a programmable thermostat or
other automatic control meeting the following criteria:a) capable of
setting back temperature to 55 degree F during heating and setting up to
85 degree F during coolingb) capable of automatically setting back or
shutting down systems during unoccupied hours using 7 different day
schedulesc) have an accessible 2-hour occupant overrided) have a battery
back-up capable of maintaining programmed settings for at least 10 hours
without power.

\- Exception: A setback or shutoff control is not required on
thermostats that control systems serving areas that operate
continuously.

\- Exception: A setback or shutoff control is not required on systems
with total energy demand of 2 kW (6,826 Btu/h) or less.

7\. Outdoor-air supply systems with design airflow rates \>3,000 cfm of
outdoor air and all exhaust systems must have dampers that are
automatically closed while the equipment is not operating.

8\. The system must supply outside ventilation air as required by
Chapter 4 of the International Mechanical Code. If the ventilation
system is designed to supply outdoor-air quantities exceeding minimum
required levels, the system must be capable of reducing outdoor-air flow
to the minimum required levels.

9\. Air ducts must be insulated to the following levels:a) Supply and
return air ducts for conditioned air located in unconditioned spaces
(spaces neither heated nor cooled) must be insulated with a minimum of
R-5. Unconditioned spaces include attics, crawl spaces, unheated
basements, and unheated garages.b) Supply and return air ducts and
plenums must be insulated to a minimum of R-8 when located outside the
building.c) When ducts are located within exterior components (e.g.,
floors or roofs), minimum R-8 insulation is required only between the
duct and the building exterior.

\- Exception: Duct insulation is not required on ducts located within
equipment.

\- Exception: Duct insulation is not required when the design
temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the duct or
plenum does not exceed 15 degree F.

10\. All joints, longitudinal and transverse seams, and connections in
ductwork must be securely sealed using weldments; mechanical fasteners
with seals, gaskets, or mastics; mesh and mastic sealing systems; or
tapes. Tapes and mastics must be listed and labeled in accordance with
UL 181A or UL 181B.

11\. Mechanical fasteners and seals, mastics, or gaskets must be used
when connecting ducts to fans and other air distribution equipment,
including multiple-zone terminal units.

12\. All pipes serving space-conditioning systems must be insulated as
follows:
