Section 403 SYSTEMS (Mandatory)
NYC Energy Code 2014 > 4 Residential Energy Efficiency > 403 SYSTEMS (Mandatory)
403.1 Controls
Each dwelling unit shall have at least one thermostat capable of automatically adjusting the space temperature set point of the largest heating or cooling zone and capable of controlling the heating and cooling system on a daily schedule to maintain different temperature set points at different times of the day. This thermostat shall include the capability to set back or temporarily operate the system to maintain zone temperatures down to 55°F (13°C) or up to 85°F (29°C). The thermostat shall initially be programmed with a heating temperature set point no higher than 70°F (21°C) and a cooling temperature set point no lower than 78°F (26°C).
403.1.2 Heat Pump Supplementary Heat
403.2.1 Insulation
403.2.2 Sealing
All ducts, air handlers, filter boxes and building cavities used as ducts shall be sealed. Joints and seams shall comply with Section M1601.3.1 of the Residential Code of New York State, or, in New York City, the New York City Construction Codes. Duct tightness shall be verified by either of the following:
1. Post construction test: Leakage to outdoors shall be less than or equal to 8 cfm (226.5 L/min) per 100 ft2 (9.29 m2) of conditioned floor area or a total leakage less than or equal to 12 cfm (12 L/min) per 100 ft2 (9.29 m2) of conditioned floor area when tested at a pressure differential of 0.1 inches w.g. (25 Pa) across the entire system, including the manufacturer's air handler enclosure. All register boots shall be taped or otherwise sealed during the test.
2. Rough-in test: Total leakage shall be less than or equal to 6 cfm (169.9 L/min) per 100 ft2 (9.29 m2) of conditioned floor area when tested at a pressure differential of 0.1 inches w.g. (25 Pa) across the roughed in system, including the manufacturer's air handler enclosure. All register boots shall be taped or otherwise sealed during the test. If the air handler is not installed at the time of the test, total leakage shall be less than or equal to 4 cfm (113.3 L/min) per 100 ft2 (9.29 m2) of conditioned floor area.
Exception: Duct tightness test is not required if the air handler and all ducts are located within conditioned space
The building duct and plenum system shall meet the requirements above as verified using instruments and procedures specified in ANSI/ASHRAE 152 and ASTM E1554 Test Method A. Tests at other test pressures are permitted to be used if they are converted to equivalent leakage at 25 pascals (Pa) of pressure, and such equivalence is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the code enforcement official. The test shall be conducted by a qualified person, who shall demonstrate competence to the satisfaction of the code enforcement official for the conduct of such tests. For the purpose of this section CFM25 shall mean the leakage from all ducts and plenums in cubic feet per minute measured at 25 pascals of pressure in accordance with ANSI/ASHRAE 152 or ASTM E1554. Test results shall be provided to the code enforcement official and shall include:
1. Name and place of business of the tester;
2. Address of the building which was tested;
3. Conditioned floor area of dwelling, calculated in accordance with ANSI Z65, except that conditioned floor area shall include areas where the ceiling height is less than 5 feet (1524 mm);
4. Measurement of CFM25; and
5. Certification of accuracy of test results and signature of tester.
403.2.3 Building Cavities
403.3 Mechanical System Piping Insulation
403.4 Circulating Hot Water Systems
403.5 Mechanical Ventilation
403.6 Equipment Sizing
Heating and cooling equipment shall be sized in accordance with ACCA Manual J or similar section of the Residential Code of New York State.
403.7 Systems Serving Multiple Dwelling Units
Systems serving buildings containing three or more dwelling units shall comply with Sections C403 and C404 in lieu of Section 403.
403.8 Snow Melt System Controls
Snow- and ice-melting systems, supplied through energy service to the building, shall include automatic controls capable of shutting off the system when the pavement temperature is above 50°F (10°C), and no precipitation is falling and an automatic or manual control that will allow shutoff when the outdoor temperature is above 40°F (4°C).
403.9 Pools
2. Where pumps are required to operate solar- and waste-heat-recovery pool-heating systems.
