HiCotteen,
Thanks so much for the quick response and the update on timing for Lot 73.
For the Manual J attitude question, I have CC'd the Manual J report Engineer who has a much better grip
on how the report is generated and how to navigate the al,titude question. I witt Let Amanda chime in here
as she wit[ have a much better exptanation to why we submitted the Manuat J with that attitude on the
report.
Very much appreciate you working through this with us, absotutel,y a Learning curve on our end, and I'm
hoping that after these first few reports we submit, we can come in with 10oo/o accuracy in the future.
We't[ get there, just need to work out the kinks a bit on our end.
Thanks again,

This appl,ication got receipted and entered the ptan check queue Aprit 25.
I'm sti[[ finishing cases from the 23rd
Let me mu[[ over your MANUAL J questions and respond after I have the Scheig case on my tabte
They are fair questions.
While I have not (personatty) done data inputting or saving in MANUAL J software (i.e. WRIGHTSOFT and
others). I have gotten a generaI impression -- one with supptemental skitts and famitiarity with the software
program -- can "override" the etevation defautt tist and run report with more accurate location elevation data.
l'tt think on it and get back,

Subject: Elk Springs Lot 73 (1515 Elk Springs Drive) - Anticipated questions
Hel.l,o Cotteen,
Just trying to get ahead of a few questions we are anticipating for Elk Springs Lot 73 (1515 Etk Springs
Drive) - not sure if you have started on that permit review, but these have come up on our past two
permits and to hetp get you answers without having to reach out again we thought we woutd head these
off now.
We have chosen the Energy Compliance Path for the Scheig residence at Lot 73 using the Prescriptive
Path per 2018 IECC Tabte R402.1.2
ln the Manuat J report that was provided the etevation standard set by the Eagte ACCA weather station
is 6,535' used in this tocation to generated the report, however our main ftoor etevation is 6,884' (this
cannot be adjusted per the ManuaI J software tied to the Eagl,e ACCA [ocation)
The winter design temp of -5 is atso tied to the Eagl.e ACCA weather station - is it an issue if the report
was generated for a cotder temperature at a stightty less attitude, per the Eagte ACCA weather station?
Pl,ease tet us know your thoughts on the manuaI J report we submitted - if we need to make any
adjustments to the report we'd [ike to get ahead of that before you get through at[ of your review of the
permit submission. Obvioustywe are not sure if you have even gotten to the permit submission yet, so
just trying to get the manual J portion correct if we are going to have an issue with the one we
submitted.
Thanks as atways for your time and have a fantastic weekend,
