Introduction
The 2020 Vermont Commercial Building Energy Standards (CBES)
				  is based on the International Energy Conservation Code (R) (IECC) 2018 edition
				  and incorporates elements of ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2016 Energy Standard
				  for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings.
This comprehensive energy conservation code establishes
				  minimum regulations for energy efficient buildings using prescriptive and
				  performance-related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles that
				  make possible the use of new materials and new energy efficient designs.
The International Energy Conservation Code provisions provide
				  many benefits, among which is the model code development process that offers an
				  international forum for energy professionals to discuss performance and
				  prescriptive code requirements. This model code also encourages international
				  consistency in the application of provisions.
Development
This 2020 CBES is founded on principles intended to establish
				  provisions consistent with the scope of an energy conservation code that
				  adequately conserves energy; provisions that do not unnecessarily increase
				  construction costs; provisions that do not restrict the use of new materials,
				  products or methods of construction; and provisions that do not give
				  preferential treatment to particular types or classes of materials, products or
				  methods of construction.
Background
The Vermont Commercial Building Energy Standards (CBES) was
				  adopted by statute (
				  30 V.S.A. §
										53 ) in 2006. This code applies to all
				  commercial buildings and residential building 4 stories or greater above grade
				  in Vermont and took effect January 1, 2007.
Update Process
The Commercial Building Energy Standards statute requires
				  that revisions to the CBES are made promptly after the issuance of updated
				  standards under the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). The
				  Department of Public Service (PSD) is required to convene stakeholders that
				  include mortgage lenders, builders, building designers, utility
				  representatives, and other persons with experience and expertise prior to the
				  adoption of a revised CBES to provide recommendations.
The 2020 CBES is based on the language in the International
				  Energy Conservation Code (R) (IECC) 2018 edition and incorporates elements of
				  ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2016 Energy Standard for Buildings Except
				  Low-Rise Residential Buildings. The 2020 CBES includes a new "Additional
				  Efficiency Package options" section based upon a points approach to code
				  compliance based upon building usage. The addition of "points" provides
				  builders and designers greater flexibility in complying with CBES. The Vermont
				  PSD held a series of stakeholder meetings in 2018 and 2019 to gather feedback
				  on proposed changes to CBES. The revisions presented in this document were
				  modified based on input received from these meetings.
EFFECTIVE USE OF THE 2020 VERMONT COMMERCIAL BUILDING ENERGY
				  STANDARDS
The 2020 Vermont Commercial Building Energy Standards (CBES)
				  is a code that regulates minimum energy conservation requirements for new
				  buildings as well as additions, alterations, renovations, and repairs to
				  existing buildings. The 2020 CBES addresses energy conservation requirements
				  for all aspects of energy uses in commercial construction, including heating
				  and ventilating, lighting, water heating, and power usage for appliances and
				  building systems.
The 2020 CBES is a design document. For example, before
				  constructing a building, the designer must determine the minimum insulation R
				  -values and fenestration U -factors for the building exterior envelope. The
				  CBES sets forth minimum requirements for exterior envelope insulation, window
				  and door U -factors and SHGC ratings, duct insulation, lighting and power
				  efficiency, mechanical ventilation, and water distribution insulation.
Arrangement and Format of the 2020 CBES
The 2020 CBES, like other codes published by ICC, is arranged
				  and organized to follow sequential steps that generally occur during a plan
				  review or inspection. The 2020 CBES is divided into six different parts:
Chapters
Subjects
1-2
Scope, Administration and Definitions

Commercial Energy Efficiency
5
Existing Buildings
6
Referenced Standards
Italicized Terms
Selected terms set forth in Chapter 2: Definitions, are
				  italicized where they appear in code text. Such terms are not italicized where
				  the definition set forth in Chapter 2 does not impart the intended meaning in
				  the use of the term. The terms selected have definitions that the user should
				  read carefully to facilitate better understanding of the code.
The following is a chapter-by-chapter synopsis of the scope
				  and intent of the provisions of the 2020 Vermont Commercial Building Energy
				  Standards:
Chapter 1: Scope and
				Administration. This chapter contains provisions for the application,
				enforcement and administration of subsequent requirements of the code. In
				addition to establishing the scope of the code, Chapter 1 identifies which
				buildings and structures come under its purview. Chapter 1 is largely concerned
				with maintaining "due process of law" in enforcing the energy conservation
				criteria contained in the body of this code. Only through careful observation
				of the administrative provisions can the code official or other authority
				having jurisdiction, where one exists, reasonably expect to demonstrate that
				"equal protection under the law" has been provided.
Chapter 2 Definitions. Chapter 2 is the
				repository of the definitions of terms used in the body of the code. Codes are
				technical documents and every word, term and punctuation mark can impact the
				meaning of the code text and the intended results. The code often uses terms
				that have a unique meaning in the code and the code meaning can differ
				substantially from the ordinarily understood meaning of the term as used
				outside of the code.
The terms defined in Chapter 2 are deemed to be of prime
				  importance in establishing the meaning and intent of the code text. The user of
				  the code should be familiar with and consult this chapter because the
				  definitions are essential to the correct interpretation of the code and the
				  user may not be aware that a term is defined.
Where understanding of a term's definition is especially key
				  to or necessary for understanding of a particular code provision, the term is
				  shown in italics wherever it appears in the code. This is true only for those
				  terms that have a meaning that is unique to the code. In other words, the
				  generally understood meaning of a term or phrase might not be sufficient or
				  consistent with the meaning prescribed by the code; therefore, it is essential
				  that the code-defined meaning be known.
Guidance regarding tense, gender and plurality of defined
				  terms as well as guidance regarding terms not defined in this code is provided.
Chapter 3 General
				Requirements. Chapter 3 provides interior design conditions that are used as a
				basis for assumptions in heating and cooling load calculations and provides
				basic material requirements for insulation materials and fenestration materials
				and provides standards for commercial mechanical ventilation and combustion
				safety.
Chapter 4 Commercial Energy
				Efficiency. Chapter 4 contains the energy-efficiency-related requirements for
				the design and construction of most types of commercial buildings, and
				residential buildings greater than three stories in height above grade. This
				chapter defines requirements for the portions of the building and building
				systems that impact energy use in new commercial construction and new
				residential construction greater than three stories in height and promotes the
				effective use of energy. The provisions within the chapter promote energy
				efficiency in the building envelope, the heating and cooling system and the
				service water heating system of the building.
Chapter 5 Existing Buildings. Chapter 5 of
				each set of provisions contains the technical energy efficiency requirements
				for existing buildings. Chapter 5 provisions address the maintenance of
				buildings in compliance with the code as well as how additions, alterations,
				repairs and changes of occupancy need to be addressed from the standpoint of
				energy efficiency. Specific provisions are provided for historic buildings.
Chapter 6 Referenced Standards.
				The code contains numerous references to standards that are used to regulate
				materials and methods of construction. Chapter 6 contains a comprehensive list
				of all standards that are referenced in the code. The standards are part of the
				code to the extent of the reference to the standard. Compliance with the
				referenced standard is necessary for compliance with this code. By providing
				specifically adopted standards, the construction and installation requirements
				necessary for compliance with the code can be readily determined. The basis for
				code compliance is, therefore, established and available on an equal basis to
				the code official, or other authority having jurisdiction, where one exists,
				contractor, designer and owner.
Chapter 6 is organized in a manner that makes it easy to
				  locate specific standards. It lists all of the referenced standards,
				  alphabetically, by acronym of the promulgating agency of the standard. Each
				  agency's standards are then listed in either alphabetical or numeric order
				  based upon the standard identification. The list also contains the title of the
				  standard; the edition (date) of the standard referenced; any addenda included
				  as part of the ICC adoption; and the section or sections of this code that
				  reference the standard.
Marginal Markings
Solid vertical lines in the margins within the body of the
				  code indicate a technical change from the requirements of the IECC 2015 and
				  2018 edition. Vermont specific additions and changes are designated through
				  dotted lines in the margin. Deletion indicators in the form of an arrow are
				  provided in the margin where an entire section, paragraph, exception or table
				  has been deleted or an item in a list of items or a table has been
				  deleted.
