Add new Section and renumber as necessary

[**804.7 Pools.** Pools shall be provided with energy conserving
measures in accordance with Section 804.7.1 and 804.7.2]{.underline}

[**804.7.1 Pool Heaters.** All Pool heaters shall be equipped with a
readily accessible on-off switch to allow shutting off the heater
without adjusting the thermostat setting. Pool heaters fired by natural
gas shall not have continuously burning pilot lights.]{.underline}

[**804.7.2 Time Switches.** Time switches, which can automatically turn
off and on heaters and pumps according to a preset schedule, shall be
installed on swimming pool heaters and pumps.]{.underline}

**[Exceptions to 804.7.2:]{.underline}**

[(a) Where public health standards require 24-hour pump
operation.]{.underline}

[(b) Where pumps are required to operate solar and waste heat recovery
pool heating systems.]{.underline}

**8) SUPPORTING INFORMATION (State purpose and reason, and provide
substantiation to support proposed change):**

Pools are used in commercial structures such as hotel/motels and should
be addressed in section 8. The proposed change provides for two
requirements essentially equivalent to those in Chapter 7 of the IECC
(ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2001). These are for readily accessible switches
on pool heaters and for timed switches on pumps where allowed by health
codes. These requirements are straightforward to implement and inspect
for and can significantly reduce the energy use in commercial swimming
pools.
