Washington Administrative Code › Title 51 - Enterprise Services, Department of (Building Code Council) › Chapter 51-11C - State Building Code adoption and amendment of the 2021 edition of the International Energy Conservation Code, Commercial › Section 51-11C-40620 - Section C406.2-Additional energy efficiency credit measures

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
C406.2
Additional
			 energy efficiency credit measures.
Each energy efficiency credit measure
			 used to meet credit requirements for the project shall include efficiency that
			 is greater than the energy efficiency required for the building type and
			 configuration requirements in Sections C402 through C405. Measures installed in
			 the project that meet the requirements in Sections C406.2.1 through C406.2.14
			 shall achieve the credits listed for the measure and occupancy group in Table
			 C406.2(1) or Table C406.2(2) or where calculations required by Sections
			 C406.2.1 through C406.2.14 create or modify the table credits, the credits
			 achieved shall be based upon the section calculations. Projects that chose to
			 comply with the fossil fuel pathway in Section C401.3 shall use Table C406.2(2)
			 to achieve credits.
For mixed fuel space heating systems, the number of space
				heating energy efficiency credits available for measures with a prorating flag
				"Heat" are calculated using the following equation:

For mixed fuel service water heating systems, the number of
				service water heating energy efficiency credits available for measures with a
				prorating flag "SWH" are calculated using the following equation:
