Subject: Re: More lnformation Needed
John,
Good afternoon, thank you for getting back to me so soon. ln regards to the questions attached I was not
sure if I shoul,d fitt out on the form and send back or just answer on this emai[.
Question #
1 . lt is a kit onl,y that the wal.l,s framing and al.t the joists are pre manufactured. The only instattation
drawings We're incl,uded in the information I l,eft with Teresa. lt just tists the panel number in order. Let
me know if you need more information on that.
OK
2. I was under the understanding that the signature from Bet[ consutting engineering was adequate for
the site ptan.l wit[ contact a surveyor to get stamped tayout.
Yes, have it stamped by the surveyor
6. Bett consutting shoutd have submitted the information for the septic tank and Leitchfietd tayout. lf he
has not, tet me know and lwitl, have him send that as soon as possibte.
I typicatty don't get the septic drawings; they are sent to EnvironmentaI Heatth. I reached out to them and
have a copy.
7. Again,l apotogize, I thought the site ptans coutd be signed by the engineer. I witl have them signed by a
surveyor.
Yes, have it stamped by the surveyor
21 . There witl. be no fireptace or woodstove.
The ptans show one, l't[ red-tine that it's not in the scope.
22. lt was my understanding that the manual, J gave you the information needed for questions 22 and
23. I have also inctuded in attachments The manual. J and Reschedk documents qFrom Dexter
Diagnostics.
Again, the energy code requires a statement regarding the method. lt's typicatty Prescriptive, by just
using the R and U vatues in the code. The other 2 methods woutd require energy modeting, which is used
when the prescriptive R and U vatues can't be met.
23. I submitted a hand drawn cross-section with the information given to teresa the other day. Let me
know if that is not adequate.
It may sound sitty, but the new energy code requires a ptan to outtine the thermal envetope. The easiest
way woutd be to take the ftoor ptan or a cross section and run a hightighter around the thermat envetope.
25. The ventitation system that Amanda Poindexter at Dexter Diagnostics recommended was an ERV
fan.
I didn't think to look there, a response letter woutd have pointed me there.
lwil.t fottow up With you as soon as possibte on the remaining issues. Thankyou so much foryour prompt
response.
Sincerety,
