R202
Add the
				following definitions:
ALL-ELECTRIC BUILDING
. A building with no
				  on-site
combustion equipment
for fossil fuel use or capacity
				  including fossil fuel use in space heating, water heating, cooking, or drying
				  appliances.
CLEAN BIOMASS HEATING SYSTEM
. Wood-pellet fired
				  central boilers and furnaces where the equipment has a thermal efficiency
				  rating of 85% (higher heating value) or greater; and a particulate matter
				  emissions rating of no more than 0.08 lb PM2.5/MMBtu
				  heat output.
COMBUSTION EQUIPMENT
. Any
equipment
or
appliance
used for space
				  heating,
service water
heating,
cooking, clothes
				  drying and/or lighting that can use
fuel gas, fuel oil
or
				  solid fuel and that is not a
clean biomass heating
				  system.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
. An automotive-type vehicle for
				  on-road use, such as passenger automobiles, buses, trucks, vans, neighborhood
				  electric vehicles, electric motorcycles, and the like, primarily powered by an
				  electric motor that draws current from a rechargeable storage battery, fuel
				  cell, photovoltaic array, or other source of electric current.
Informational Note: defined as in 527 CMR 12.00:
				  Massachusetts Electrical Code (Amendments) section 625.2.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE SUPPLY EQUIPMENT (EVSE)
. The
				  conductors, including the ungrounded, grounded, and equipment grounding
				  conductors, and the
Electric Vehicle
connectors, attachment
				  plugs, and all other fittings, devices, power outlets, or apparatus installed
				  specifically for the purpose of transferring energy between the premises wiring
				  and the
Electric Vehicle
.
Informational Note: defined as in 527 CMR 12.00:
				  Massachusetts Electrical Code (Amendments) section 625.2
ELECTRIC VEHICLE READY PARKING SPACE ("EV Ready
				  Space")
. A designated parking space which is provided with wiring and
				  electrical service sufficient to provide 240 volt AC level II or equivalent EV
				  charging, as defined by Standard SAE J1772 for EVSE servicing light duty
Electric Vehicles
.
ENTHALPY RECOVERY RATIO
. Change in the enthalpy
				  of the outdoor air supply divided by the difference between the outdoor air and
				  entering exhaust air enthalpy, expressed as a percentage.
HIGH-EFFICACY LAMPS
. Light-emitting diode (LED)
				  lamps with an efficacy of not less than the following:
1. 60 lumens per watt for lamps over 40
				watts.
2. 50 lumens per watt for
				lamps over 15 watts to 40 watts.
3.
				45 lumens per watt for lamps 15 watts or less.
MIXED-FUEL BUILDING
. A
building
that contains
combustion equipment
or includes piping for such
equipment.
POTENTIAL SOLAR ZONE AREA
. The combined area of
				  any flat roofs, or low-sloped roofs and any steep-sloped roofs oriented between
				  90 degrees and 300 degrees of true north where the annual solar access is 70%
				  or greater. Annual solar access is the ratio of "annual solar insolation with
				  shade" to the "annual solar insolation without shade". Shading from
				  obstructions located on the roof or any other part of the building shall not be
				  included in the determination of annual solar
				  access.
